YMCA/YWCA in Quebec City?
 
Does the City of Quebec have a YMCA or YWCA that offers rooms for tourists? Thank you.

Hostelling International has a hostel with over 200 beds. Self service kitchen and bathrooms down the hall.

For a single traveler at $30 CAD plus tax it should be good.

Thanks, Tom. I've been there a few times, and it's great. It doesn't have access for folks who have problems walking. I thought that there used to be a YWCA in Quebec City that accepted tourists - and I haven't stayed at a Y without an elevator - but I'm not finding it.

6 of the 43 YMCA's in Canada have short term lodging. None in the Province of Quebec.

The Ys provide a wide range of social services. A web search gave me the impression the few remaining residences are oriented towards transient and low-income temporary lodgings, not tourists wanting to save money.
