Just about every hotel will nickel and dime you (and I've stayed in quite a lot!).

Not as bad as the Fairmont does though. They really do take the piss at times.

Cote de la Montagne, by any chance? That would make a mountain goat wince.

I really can't remember street names, thankfully !!:lol: the aforementioned toddler, now a young adult, is in Qc City this week, & bitching about the weather . . . :rofl:

I'm sure that would have been it. I think it's the only road up from the old port.

If it's the really steep one, then that would be it :).

It is a wee bit steep.

Honestly, Truthfully? You're probably right; but I' m not a Qc City fan, & have managed to avoid that trek on my most recent visits.

The Montmorency Falls, & heights are, IMHO, worth a visit, if one likes history stuff; unfortunately, I don't think they're accessible at the time Tirytory will be visiting.

I was there when they were frozen. I don't remember what month it was but I don't think they can close for weather.

Access (footpath & cable car) up & down to the heights & across the bridge does - or did - close for the winter, IIRC. Of course one can still contemplate the falls in all their frozen glory ;). And the nutters ice-climbing :)!
