The perfect guests at Aux deux Lions Inn -The Robert Payne Group

Dear Friends/Colleagues:

I had the pleasure recently of welcoming Robert Payne, his charming spouse Judith and four of their friends to Auberge Aux deux Lions: Tun and Dan Lawson, Dorothy and Bob Bowland. Our pleasant guests - all from Ontario - were with us for a total of five days over the 2009 Labour Day weekend.

My friends, your warm and lively personalities were contagious. Your decency and love of life led to some memorable moments during those five days, moments I will cherish for a long time. When I dropped into Resto La Scala, Victor and at Le Graffiti to check on you, I was reassured that I had made the right dinner recommendations for you.

Dorothy, Tun, Judith, Bob, Dan and Robert, I thank you for the pleasure of your company, and I trust that our paths will cross again - sooner than later.

All the best!

My friends and I (three "mature" couples in total) wanted to spend 5 nights in

Quebec City for an (extended) Labor Day weekend (September 2009). I was given the task of researching and landing an appropriate locale (based on availability, price and proximity to where we wanted to be)

I did an Internet search and, based on the above criteria, came upon Auberge Aux deux Lions (Inn of the Two Lions is its closest English translation). I phoned and ultimately made arrangements with the owner/manager, Jean Francois DuLac. At this point, I was impressed by his welcoming attitude, his willingness to accommodate our requirements, the offered amenities and a general feel-good aura coming down the phone line.

Came the day of our arrival, September 3rd, Mr. DuLac was there to greet us and show us the lay of the land. This included not only the physical premises but also an explanation of their offered services and the availabilities of the surrounding neighborhood (restaurants, sights of interest and the in-house amenities which include a communal kitchen with coffee maker, small fridge, ironing board and virtually all else we might need/want during our stay).

Our rooms were clean, tidy and equipped with television, Internet access and in-unit bathroom/washroom facilities. By the way, we had a total of three rooms - one each for three couples. We also benefitted from a shared patio, lounge and ample parking space.

Better still, we found Mr. DuLac to be a gentleman with an honest desire to make his visitors feel important. Not only did he ensure we felt at ease with our living space, but he also recommended certain eating/drinking establishments which, when we agreed to them, he would complement with his own brief, unobtrusive visits to ensure we were enjoying ourselves.

The neighborhood in which Auberge Aux deux Lions is located is not only within easy walking distance of "old Quebec," but also even closer to amenities such as transportation, restaurants, bars, supermarkets and liquor stores.

All six of us had nary a negative comment during the 5 days we stayed there. It more than lived up to our expectations. And we'd glady return for an even longer stay.
Regards,
Robert Payne
