DaveOKC Posted September 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I am arriving in Quebec City 2 nights prior to our cruise in mid-Oct and looking for some hotel advice concerning Marriott properties. First, I can get the Delta Hotel or the nearby Marriott Dowtown for about the same price (about $220 CAD per night). Which one of these would you choose? Second, another option is to stay at the Marriott Courtyard which is about 5 miles away, but the rate is only $125 CAD per night. Is it worth being so far out of the center of town to save about $200 CAD (for the two nights combined)? We plan on spending the full day before the cruise exploring the Citadel and other downtown sights. One more - is the Hilton (near the Marriott) superior to the Marriott? Thanks for any and all ideas and opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twickenham Posted September 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Firstly, I can tell you that while the newest of the 3, the Courtyard is really only convenient if you have a car - right off a major highway, in an industrial park-type setting with limited restaurants within walking distance. No, I don't think it's worth it in your case. So we come to the Marriott or the Delta. I have no first-hand knowledge of either property's rooms, but have attended events in both. The Delta is a large business hotel, opposite the convention centre, with the corresponding facilities. The Marriott is actually a former Courtyard which was converted to a full-service property a few years ago, and much smaller than the Delta. It holds a slight location advantage over the Delta, but really the Delta is maybe a 5-minute walk from the Marriott. I might favour the Marriott slightly, but I think either would be a good choice. The Hilton is generally considered to be (along with the Chateau Frontenac) one of the top major hotels in Quebec City. But if you're a Marriott guy, I don't think it's necessarily that much better that I would sacrifice the nights/points you'd earn at one of the Marriott properties.

I think I will go with the Marriott and keep an eye on Hilton pricing, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted September 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Both my husband and I are top level Marriott (and he also with Hilton) but we have chosen to stay in one of the boutique hotels in Vieux-Québec to have an immersive experience. I did take a look at the Marriott properties and was quite confused by the Courtyard’s location because I remember it being closer - until I read Twickenham’s explanation - thank you. I would choose the Marriott (former Courtyard) also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rooms are larger, service is good. Not not hesitate staying there again. Unfortunately I have not stayed in the other Marriott. Not in a position to make a comparison.
