Q: I'm visiting from abroad and need a place that's reasonable for ten days. I don't need anything fancy, sleazy is fine and a long walk is acceptable! Thanks for your help.
A: Contact the Hotel de Paris (see the link below) and see if they have any rooms. The hotel operates a youth hostel as well as the main hotel, and so may have some reasonable rates. The hotel is about three blocks away from Parc Lafontaine, which is part of the Gay Village located around Sherbrooke and Beaudry metro stations.
