We were greeted by an eager college student, who took the time to orient us and show us the best places in old Quebec. She also suggested that we take bikes into town, which was great fun. The bike path took us through an industrial area, and though the trip was short, it felt a little more tense in the dark.
We had a good night sleep and the room reminded us of our young days in European hostels, and aptly so as this is one (Auberge Amerik). There are plenty of common areas, including a restaurant and a beauty salon in the same house downstairs. The room was very quiet considering that it was a full house and there were about three other rooms on our floor, and several others beneath us.
Parking was easy and free.
