The hotel was absolutely beautiful all decked out for the holidays! All the staff were professional and friendly. The rooms were spotless, and the location perfect. The Beauport is our early December destination for a little self care before Christmas!!!

Room was very clean, quiet, nice furniture and located within walking distance to a shopping mall. Didn’t have breakfast as the prices of food items were very high.
