Park at the Door, and the Falls Are Five Minutes Away
Hôtel Motel Le Régent stands on Boulevard Sainte-Anne with its white-railed veranda curving right around the front, the Québec fleurdelisé and the Canadian flag over the door, and a parking lot wide enough that there is always a space outside your own room. This is the old motel strip on the eastern edge of Quebec City, the road that becomes Route 138 and runs up the Côte-de-Beaupré, and the location does exactly one job extremely well.
Book it if you are driving, want the cheapest practical base for Montmorency Falls, Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré and Mont-Sainte-Anne, and value a free parking space and a quick highway exit over polish. Do not book it expecting a walkable old-town stay: Vieux-Québec is 7 to 8 km away and needs a car, a taxi or a slow bus, and guest reviews are consistently critical about cleanliness, beds and noise.
What guests reliably praise here is short and consistent: the free parking, the free Wi-Fi, the price, and how quickly you can be at the falls or on the highway. The 53 rooms and suites are plain and air-conditioned, with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and a private entrance straight from the lot, motel-style. One grade adds a full kitchen for self-catering and another has a hot tub in the room. Come with realistic expectations and it does the job it is priced to do.
Which Room, and What the Listings Get Wrong
The five grades divide by what you want to do in the room. The Standard Queen is the smallest at about 20 square metres and the plainest. The Deluxe Room and the Double Room with Two Double Beds are both around 22 square metres, the second sleeping four across two double beds. The Queen Studio at roughly 24 square metres is the one to take for a longer stay, because it has a private kitchen properly fitted out for cooking real meals and a table to eat them at. The Junior Suite is the largest at about 26 square metres, faces the river across the boulevard and has a hot tub in the room.
Three things the travel listings get wrong are worth stating plainly. The property's own website still advertises complimentary breakfast, a leftover from the franchise years: breakfast is now a paid continental service from 08:00 to 11:00. That same site advertises an indoor pool, while the listing's question panel says there is none and a recent traveller review reports no pool and half the building under renovation, so treat the pool as not confirmed to operate. And the property is no longer Econo Lodge Quebec City East, though several major travel sites still show that name.
All rooms are non-smoking, air-conditioned and reached by a private entrance from the parking lot rather than an internal corridor. Beds score modestly and the honest reading of the review data is that comfort and cleanliness are the weakest parts of a stay here, while Wi-Fi is the strongest. If you want quiet, ask about a room away from the boulevard: the rooms are described as soundproof and a steady number of guests report that they are not.
Driving the Côte-de-Beaupré, in Summer and in Snow
The reason to stay out here rather than downtown is what lies east. Montmorency Falls is a four to five minute drive, an 83-metre drop that is fully 30 metres taller than Niagara, with a cable car, a suspended footbridge across the top and a zipline over the gorge. Keep going on Route 138 and the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré basilica is about half an hour, the oldest pilgrimage site in North America. Canyon Sainte-Anne and Mont-Sainte-Anne are both roughly 40 km out, and Île d'Orléans, all cider houses and farm stands, is a short drive east across the bridge.
Old Québec is the other direction and takes eight to fifteen minutes by car, or about 15 dollars in a taxi according to the property's own guidance. Without a car, the RTC Métrobus 800 runs the Boulevard Sainte-Anne corridor between Terminus Chute-Montmorency and the Colline Parlementaire, which works but takes twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic. There is no airport shuttle; Québec City Jean Lesage is about 25 minutes away by road.
Two practical notes for the drive. Room nights in Québec carry the provincial lodging tax on top of federal and provincial sales tax, so the figure at checkout is higher than the nightly rate you agreed. And if you are here between 1 December and 15 March, Quebec law requires winter tyres, with fines for driving without them. Cars rented in Québec come fitted as a matter of course; a car driven up from Ontario or the United States may not be.
Why Book Hôtel Motel Le Régent?
Le Régent is for drivers heading up the Côte-de-Beaupré who want the cheapest practical base near Montmorency Falls and a parking space that is always there.
Parking outside the room
Free private parking with no reservation needed, on a lot big enough that it does not run out. It is the single most consistent thing guests praise.
Five minutes to the falls
Montmorency Falls is a four to five minute drive, and Route 138 takes you straight to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Mont-Sainte-Anne and Île d'Orléans.
You can cook
The Queen Studio has a private kitchen with a stovetop, microwave, coffee machine, toaster and a table, which sidesteps the paid breakfast entirely.
Straightforward about itself
Air-conditioned rooms with private entrances, free Wi-Fi that guests rate above everything else here, and a garden, terrace and picnic area for warm evenings.

Interesting Points About Hôtel Motel Le Régent
- The name over the door changed and most listings have not caught up. This was Econo Lodge Quebec City East under a Choice Hotels franchise, and it is now the independent Hôtel-Motel Le Régent. Several major travel sites still file it under the old franchise name, which is why the same building appears twice in some search results.
- The free breakfast is not free. The property's own site still carries the legacy franchise line about complimentary continental breakfast; the current reality is a paid continental breakfast charged per person and served from 08:00 to 11:00. Budget for it, or book the Queen Studio and use the kitchen.
- The indoor pool is not confirmed to operate. leregent.ca advertises one, the listing's own question-and-answer panel says there is none, and a recent traveller review states plainly that there is no pool and that half the building is under renovation. There is an in-room hot tub in the Junior Suite, and no spa or wellness centre.
- The two Montmorency Falls entries you see on listings are the same waterfall. One is the riverside lower entrance and the other the clifftop Manoir entrance to Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, about 3.5 km east. The falls drop 83 metres, a full 30 metres more than Niagara, with a cable car, a clifftop footbridge and a zipline.
- Getting downtown without a car is genuinely possible but slow. The property sits on the RTC Métrobus 800 corridor between Terminus Chute-Montmorency and the Colline Parlementaire. Under RTC's fare schedule in effect since 1 July 2026 a single ride is 4.00 dollars in cash with exact change, or 3.85 dollars with an OPUS card, with 90 minutes of transfers, and a day pass is 10.50 dollars. Children 12 and under travel free with an adult.
- Quebec's star ratings no longer exist. The province ended its mandatory CITQ classification on 1 September 2022, operators had to remove the starred panonceau by 31 August 2023, and displaying the old stars has been an offence since 1 September 2023. Any two-star label you see on a travel site is a third-party data-feed classification, not an official grading.
Rooms & Accommodation at Hôtel Motel Le Régent
Standard Queen Room
About 20 m² · Queen bed · Bath and shower · The smallest room
The plainest and smallest grade, at around twenty square metres, with a queen bed, a private bathroom holding both a bath and a shower, air conditioning, a desk and a wardrobe. It suits solo drivers and couples stopping one night on the way up the coast, who want the parking space and the highway exit more than they want the room.
Check Prices
Deluxe Room
About 22 m² · Private bathroom with free toiletries
Two square metres more than the Standard Queen and a private bathroom stocked with free toiletries. Otherwise the same idea: air conditioning, a desk, a television and a door straight onto the parking lot. Pick for a short stay when the Standard has gone and you would rather not step up to a studio you will not use.
Check Prices
Double Room with Two Double Beds - Non-Smoking
About 22 m² · Two double beds · Microwave · Sleeps four
Two double beds in about twenty-two square metres, and the only grade with a microwave as standard alongside the usual air conditioning, telephone, wardrobe and private bathroom. Families of four and groups splitting a room end up here, and the microwave takes the edge off a paid breakfast.
Check Prices
Queen Studio
About 24 m² · Private kitchen · Stovetop, microwave and coffee machine
The one worth booking if you are staying more than a night or two. About twenty-four square metres with a proper private kitchen, which turns the paid breakfast into an optional extra and makes a week on the Côte-de-Beaupré considerably cheaper. Best for families and longer stays who would rather shop once and cook than eat out every evening.
Check Prices
Junior Suite
About 26 m² · River view · In-room hot tub · The largest unit
The largest and best-equipped unit at around twenty-six square metres, with a hot tub in the room, a view over the boulevard towards the St Lawrence, a coffee machine, a microwave and an iron. Couples treating a Côte-de-Beaupré trip as a small occasion book this one. Be aware the river view faces a busy road, and road noise is a documented factor here.

Location and Getting Around
Boulevard Sainte-Anne through Beauport is the old highway east out of Quebec City, the road that becomes Route 138 and carries you the length of the Côte-de-Beaupré. Le Régent sits on it at number 3806, roughly 7 to 8 km north-east of Vieux-Québec, on the strip of motels, diners and garages that grew up when this was the only way north. It is a car-first address and makes no pretence otherwise: the appeal is that you park at your own door, pull straight out onto the highway, and are at a world-class waterfall before you have finished your coffee.
East is where the good stuff is. Parc de la Chute-Montmorency is about 3.5 km away, four or five minutes by car, and the falls drop 83 metres, thirty more than Niagara, with a cable car up the cliff, a footbridge across the lip and a zipline over the gorge. The two entries you see listed separately, the riverside one and the Manoir one at the top, are the same park. Half an hour further along Route 138 is the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré basilica, the oldest pilgrimage site in North America, whose rector says it draws close to a million visitors a year. Canyon Sainte-Anne, a 74-metre waterfall with three suspension bridges, and the ski and mountain-bike slopes of Mont-Sainte-Anne are both around 40 km out, and Île d'Orléans with its cider houses and farm stands is a short drive east across the bridge.
West, Old Québec is eight to fifteen minutes by car or roughly 15 dollars in a taxi according to the property's own guidance. Without a car, the RTC Métrobus 800 runs the Boulevard Sainte-Anne corridor from Terminus Chute-Montmorency to the Colline Parlementaire in twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic. Domaine de Maizerets, a heritage park with an arboretum on the Corridor du Littoral cycle path, is about 4 km south-west. For dinner without driving far, Restaurant Casa Grecque at 3500 Boulevard Sainte-Anne is a bring-your-own-wine Greek grill about 1.1 km along the boulevard, roughly a fifteen-minute walk, though the pavement is intermittent along a busy arterial so most guests drive the two minutes. Québec City Jean Lesage airport is about 19 km away, some 25 minutes by road, and there is no shuttle.
- Restaurant Casa Grecque Beauport: 2-minute drive. Bring-your-own-wine Greek grill at 3500 Boulevard Sainte-Anne, about 1.1 km along the boulevard.
- Parc de la Chute-Montmorency: 5-minute drive. An 83-metre waterfall, 30 metres taller than Niagara, with a cable car, clifftop footbridge and zipline.
- Domaine de Maizerets: 8-minute drive. Heritage park and arboretum on the Corridor du Littoral cycle path, about 4 km south-west.
- Vieux-Québec: 15-minute drive. The UNESCO-listed old town of Château Frontenac and Terrasse Dufferin, about 7 to 8 km west.
- Île d'Orléans: 15-minute drive. Farm-stand, cider and food-producer country, reached across the bridge east of the property.
- Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport: 25-minute drive. About 19 km west, with no airport shuttle from the property.
- Sanctuaire Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré: 30-minute drive. The oldest pilgrimage site in North America, roughly 30 km north-east on Route 138.
- Canyon Sainte-Anne: 30-minute drive. A 74-metre waterfall with three suspension bridges and a zipline, open May to October.
- Mont-Sainte-Anne: 30-minute drive. Major ski resort in winter, gondola and mountain-bike hub in summer, about 40 km away.
- Terminus Chute-Montmorency: 5-minute drive. The eastern end of the RTC Métrobus 800 route into central Quebec City.

Parc de la Chute-Montmorency
5 min drive
About 3.5 km east, a five-minute drive, and the reason to base yourself out here at all. The falls drop 83 metres, a full thirty more than Niagara, and you can ride the cable car up the cliff, cross the footbridge directly over the lip or take the zipline over the gorge. In deep winter the spray freezes into the pain de sucre, a sugarloaf cone of ice at the base that people climb.

Vieux-Québec
15 min drive
Seven to eight kilometres west, a fifteen-minute drive or about 15 dollars in a taxi, and the only walled city north of Mexico. The cobbled Petit-Champlain lanes of the Lower Town run beneath the green copper roofs of the Château Frontenac, with Terrasse Dufferin looking out over the St Lawrence above them. Park once and walk it; driving inside the walls is a poor idea in any season.

Sanctuaire Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré
30 min drive
About 30 km north-east on Route 138, a thirty-minute drive, and the oldest pilgrimage site in North America. The twin-spired basilica draws close to a million visitors a year by its rector's own count, and the mosaics, the stained glass and the columns of discarded crutches inside are worth the drive whether or not you came for the pilgrimage. Late July, around the Feast of Saint Anne, is the busiest week of its year.

Mont-Sainte-Anne
30 min drive
Roughly 40 km north-east, a thirty-minute drive up Route 138, and the mountain that fills this motel in winter. It is one of eastern Canada's major ski areas, with runs cut down the whole north face and night skiing under lights, and in summer the gondola carries mountain bikers up to a World Cup downhill network. The drive back down to the boulevard takes the same half hour in either season.
View on MapHow to Get to Hôtel Motel Le Régent
- Arriving by air: Québec City Jean Lesage International is about 19 km west, roughly 25 minutes by road. There is no airport shuttle, so plan on a car hire or a taxi.
- Driving from the airport or downtown: Take Autoroute 440 East, then Route 138 East towards Beauport, and leave at the Boulevard Sainte-Anne exit. The motel is on the boulevard at number 3806, eight to fifteen minutes from Old Québec.
- Look for the curved balcony: The building is unmistakable: a white-railed veranda curving right around the front, a red roofline, the Québec and Canada flags over the door and a reception kiosk beside the entrance.
- By bus instead: From the Colline Parlementaire or Vieux-Québec, take the RTC Métrobus 800 eastbound towards Terminus Chute-Montmorency and ride the Boulevard Sainte-Anne corridor for twenty to thirty minutes, alighting at the stop nearest number 3806.
- Arriving and parking: Park anywhere on the lot, free and without a reservation. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:30 and check-out is by 11:00, with later arrivals by arrangement. Bring photo ID and the credit card you booked with for the refundable deposit.
Quebec City for First-Time Visitors
Quebec City is the oldest walled city north of Mexico and the capital of a province that runs in French, and both facts shape a visit more than anything else. The historic core divides into the Haute-Ville on the cliff, where the Château Frontenac and the Citadelle sit above Terrasse Dufferin, and the Basse-Ville below it, where Place Royale and the Petit-Champlain lanes hold the oldest commercial street in North America. It is small, steep and entirely walkable once you are inside the walls.
Two seasons dominate. Summer, June to September, is festival time and the best window for the falls, the cable car and the Côte-de-Beaupré day trips. February belongs to the Carnaval de Québec, the world's largest winter carnival, when the temperature sits well below freezing and the city leans into it. Late July brings the pilgrimage season to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré around the Feast of Saint Anne, which fills lodging the length of the coast road including this one.
Staying out in Beauport puts you on the wrong side of the city for old-town evenings and the right side for everything else. The classic run east is Montmorency Falls, then the basilica, then Canyon Sainte-Anne, then Mont-Sainte-Anne, finishing on Île d'Orléans for cider and cheese on the way back. Do that in a day with a car and you will have seen more of the region than most visitors who never leave the walls.
Ten Best Things to Do in Quebec City
A short guide to Old Québec, Montmorency Falls, the Citadelle and the rest of the region within reach of Boulevard Sainte-Anne.
Is Hôtel Motel Le Régent worth it?
Yes, if you are driving, your trip is built around Montmorency Falls and the Côte-de-Beaupré, and a free parking space outside the door matters more than the room itself. Skip it if you want to walk to Old Québec, or if cleanliness, bed comfort and quiet are what make a stay for you, because guests criticise all three consistently.
What Guests Say About Hôtel Motel Le Régent
Scores and review counts are aggregated from verified guest bookings on major travel platforms.
Passable
The feedback here is consistent and it is not flattering, so it is worth reading before you book rather than after. What guests reliably like is the position for Beauport and the Côte-de-Beaupré, the free parking, the connection quality and the price. What they raise again and again is cleanliness, from dust to a smelly shower curtain to a chipped basin, beds they found uncomfortable, noise carrying between rooms despite the soundproof billing, a breakfast area they thought poorly kept, and slow returns of the refundable deposit. The strongest praise across the whole review set goes to the Wi-Fi and the location; comfort and facilities draw the weakest. Francophone guests say the same things in French, with value and location the redeeming features.
Found it fine for one night but short on comfort and reassurance. Staff were pleasant and the room clean with Wi-Fi working, but the bed was very uncomfortable, the lot was full so other guests took her space, breakfast felt pricey for what was served, and a second door opening onto a grubby corridor left her uneasy. She also thought the exterior sign was in poor repair.
Liked the location. Of the two rooms he booked, one was not ready, with a broken bedside lamp, towels that had to be requested and a dusty entry. The second room was fine.
Rated it okay for the price and handy for getting around, close to everything he wanted. The shower curtain had an odour.
Rated the location well but was still waiting for the security deposit to come back at the time of writing.
Found parking and access easy, but the rooms far too noisy, with neighbours talking and snoring carrying straight through the walls.
Found the staff friendly, but the basin was chipped, the tap was hard to turn off and the Wi-Fi lagged.
Would not recommend it. The room had a dryer and a fridge, but nothing else pleased him, he found the staff unhelpful and the Wi-Fi did not work for him.
Scathing. An easy roadside location, but a tired and dirty motel in his view, worth about half what he paid. He singled out a filthy bathroom, a chaotic breakfast area with other rooms' dirty linen on the floor and no utensils, and an unwelcoming reception.
Good to Know Before You Book
Free parking is the real draw, and it is genuinely free
Private on-site parking comes with the room at no charge and needs no reservation, which on this coast road is worth more than it sounds. One guest did report arriving to a full lot at a busy moment, so on a peak summer weekend it pays to arrive earlier in the evening rather than late.
Breakfast is charged, whatever older listings say
A continental breakfast is served from 08:00 to 11:00 and is charged per person rather than included in the rate. The property's own website still carries a complimentary-breakfast line left over from its franchise years. If you would rather not pay it, the Queen Studio has a private kitchen.
Treat the advertised pool as not operating
The property's website advertises an indoor pool, the listing's own question panel says there is none, and a recent traveller review reports no pool and part of the building under renovation. There is an in-room hot tub in the Junior Suite, and no spa or wellness centre. Ask directly before booking if a pool is the reason you were choosing this place.
Budget for Quebec taxes and a refundable deposit
Room nights carry the provincial lodging tax plus federal and provincial sales tax on top of the rate, so the checkout figure is higher than the nightly price. A refundable damage deposit of 100 Canadian dollars is taken by credit card on arrival and returned after a room inspection. Several guests report slow refunds, so keep your receipt and the card you booked with.
Winter tyres are the law from December to March
Quebec law requires winter tyres on every passenger vehicle from 1 December to 15 March, with fines for driving without them. Cars rented within Québec are fitted as standard; a vehicle driven up from Ontario or the United States may not be, which matters on the climb to Mont-Sainte-Anne.
Cancellation terms follow the rate you choose
Cancellation and prepayment conditions vary with the room and rate selected, so read the terms shown for your dates before confirming. Booking more than three rooms can bring different policies and supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions
The motel is at 3806 Boulevard Sainte-Anne in the Beauport borough, on the eastern edge of Quebec City. Old Québec is about 7 to 8 km west, eight to fifteen minutes by car or roughly 15 dollars in a taxi, and it is not a walkable distance. Montmorency Falls is much closer at around 3.5 km east, a four to five minute drive, and Route 138 runs from the door up the Côte-de-Beaupré.
Yes. Private on-site parking is free, needs no reservation and sits directly outside the rooms, motel-style. It is the single most consistently praised thing about staying here. No vehicle-height limit is published. One guest did report finding the lot full at a busy moment, so on peak summer weekends arriving earlier in the evening is the safer plan.
Breakfast is not included in the rate. A continental breakfast is served from 08:00 to 11:00 and charged per person. The property's own website still advertises complimentary breakfast, which is a leftover from its years as a franchise and no longer reflects what happens. If you would rather skip the charge, the Queen Studio has a private kitchen, and one room grade includes a microwave.
Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:30 and check-out is by 11:00. Later arrivals can be arranged with the property in advance. Photo ID and a credit card are required at check-in, and guests under 18 must check in with a parent or guardian.
No, pets are not accepted. The property is non-smoking throughout with a designated outdoor smoking area. Children of any age are welcome and are charged as adults from the age of twelve, and a cot for a child aged 0 to 2 is free on request. Extra beds are not available.
There is no airport shuttle and no hotel shuttle. Without a car, the RTC Métrobus 800 runs along Boulevard Sainte-Anne between Terminus Chute-Montmorency and the Colline Parlementaire, taking twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic. Under the fare schedule in effect since 1 July 2026 a single ride costs 4.00 dollars in cash with exact change or 3.85 dollars using an OPUS card, with 90 minutes of transfers, and a day pass is 10.50 dollars. Children 12 and under travel free with an adult.
There is a hot tub in the Junior Suite, in the room itself. There is no spa or wellness centre. The indoor pool advertised on the property's own website should be treated as not confirmed to operate: the listing's question panel states there is no pool, and a recent traveller review reports no pool and part of the building under renovation. Ask the property directly if a pool is the reason you are booking.
A refundable damage deposit of 100 Canadian dollars is taken by credit card on arrival and returned at check-out after a room inspection. Several guests have reported slow refunds, so keep your receipt and use the card you booked with. Cancellation and prepayment conditions vary with the room and rate you select, so read the terms shown for your dates before confirming. Booking more than three rooms can trigger different policies.
Yes, this is the same building under its current name. It operated as Econo Lodge Quebec City East under a Choice Hotels franchise and is now the independent Hôtel-Motel Le Régent. Several major travel sites still list it under the old franchise name, which is why the same property sometimes appears twice in search results. Any two-star label you see is a third-party data-feed classification, not an official grading: Quebec ended its mandatory star system in 2022.
No. There are unrelated properties called Le Régent elsewhere, including in Paris, and the misspelling Hotel Le Regence also turns up in searches. This one is the hotel-motel at 3806 Boulevard Sainte-Anne in the Beauport borough of Quebec City, at coordinates 46.8569 north and 71.1804 west. Adding Beauport or Boulevard Sainte-Anne to a search resolves it immediately.
Other Great Stays in Canada
Hôtel Sous la Croix, Tadoussac
The one to pick if you are carrying on down the St Lawrence for the whales. Same province and the same drive-in simplicity, but a village setting on the water instead of an arterial road, and you can walk to dinner.
Pinecone Motel, Penobsquis
A comparable roadside motel further east in New Brunswick, for a Fundy trip rather than a Québec one. Free parking at the door in the same way, but no kitchen studio and no in-room hot tub.
Auberge de la Baie, Caraquet
Choose it over Le Régent when you want a francophone coastal base with a view from the room rather than a highway strip. It is a long drive from Québec, so it suits a wider Acadian trip rather than a Côte-de-Beaupré one.
