"We had an enjoyable stay here for 3 nights (in a room facing the parking lot). We found the hotel modern and clean and quiet (except the AC is a bit noisy) , with a very comfortable bed and all amenities. We ate 3 good-value breakfasts at the onsite hotel, Tetu. The staff at reception and in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful, especially with our attempts at French.
The Baker is a short walk (albeit down a short relatively steep hill) to rue de la Reine where we found a couple of fine dining restaurants (Safflower for tapas and Bise Brise for upscale pub food), an organic bulk food store, and an epicerie for great cheeses, charcuterie, and local fine foods and beauty products (they have everything you need for a really nice picnic lunch). There is some although limited parking on and near rue de la Reine for the mobility challenged who might find the hill difficult (note that the Baker does not have an elevator). We had hoped to find a nice store selling local arts but this does not seem to exist in Gaspe'. Another negative was that the water is not easily accessible in Gaspe' especially from the downtown area.
Although Perce' is a 50-minute drive, Gaspe' is a better base. Perce' was too touristy, busy and noisy for us and lacked the character and charm of a small town. We took a tour boat of Perce' Rock and Bonaventure Island and were very glad we did. The sheer number of gannets and other birds on the Island is outstanding.
We'd certainly stay again."
