A long drive and I wanted to show my wife my 'Old Home Town' from many years ago.
I also figured, lets throw caution to the wind and splurge just a little and stay at 'The Holiday Inn Express' in St. Foy. While walking into the reception area I was silently practicing my un-used French vocabulary, I was just a little nervous. After greeting the clerk in my best French and telling him what I would like, he smiled and said "we hope
you had a good trip today Sir is there anything special you would like?"
I responded with "I wasn't expecting English here in Quebec" again I was told "but of course a great many of out Visitors are English and we want everyone to feel at home. I then became a little more relaxed and I must say relieved.
Our room was immaculate with lovely hardwood flooring, sparkling clean with the latest fixtures throughout. After a Good nights sleep, I opened the door to go downstairs for the complimentary breakfast ... yet another plesant surprise ... there was a Free English newspaper at our door. I checked other papers down the hall, both English and French depending on the rooms occupants, Nice Touch!!.
The Breakfast was not your typical continental hotel breakfast. There was a wonderful selection of both hot and cold items, something for everyone and yes I probably gained just a little weight while enjoying the hospitality.
My hometown visit was wonderful and it all began with The Holiday Inn Express and just the most welcoming staff.
Room Tip: Everyones taste is different, ask to see the room. Chances are you won't be disappointed...
