The property was a motel not a hotel and the rooms were not worth the charges.

Simple but good value
It was an older style Auberge but it was clean, easy parking and good breakfast. All with very friendly service at excellent prices. It’s certainly not luxury but it did its job well and we were very satisfied.
Superbe petite auberge! Déjeuner complet œufs saucisses café, chambre propre et salle de bain propre, parfait pour notre nuit avec mon tout petit ! Je recommande
The staff was very hospitable however the place is a bit old.The mattress needs to be changed .They do offer a hot breakfast ($), although we left early and did not eat there. It was okay for a night.
The place is spotless, the room clean, king bed very comportable, lininig and towels changed and housekeeping made every morning The manager was awesome. He cared about the guest and the cleaniness of the rooms and amenities. He offred himself a coffee that was not even included in the price. Good job young boss!
I arrived to the property at 10pm and there was no one on site. I had to book another place at time at that time then come back the next day. It says that check in time was available until 11:30pm. Besides that, staff was good when I arrived

Liked: Cleanliness
Everything is fine, decor is a littly funcky, but clean. The staff didn't speak french which could be an issue with some custumors.. The front office has limited hours, there was no coffee maker in the room, and the front office was closed (sunday 8am) when I tried to walk by to get coffee there. They should have an area open 24/24 for small comodities (like coffee....) if they don't want to be there all the time.

Liked: Staff & service
The check in was simple. The attendant was very nice. Easy to find. Lots of dining in the area.
However the outlets were limited, the toilet paper roll was empty (had to replace myself), I had to plug in the window shaker television myself, the grounds around the building need some clean up and the parking lot was rough.
The staff were lovely. I feel bad giving them a terrible rating but I have to. Both smoke detectors were removed, the curtain rod fell down when we tried to close them. Then they fell out of the wall. Both door locks (chains) were installed wrong (very easy to break in) and one was broken! The door would not close, it had to be lifted by the handle as it was off the hinge. The bathroom was clean, however it smelled strongly of urine. The window sill fell off and scared the hell out of us. It looked like it was under construction and still being used as a room. Definitely not worth the $120 price. Will not be going again.
Happy was so helpful. Provided us with a bottle of water while we registered. After being on the Spyder/motorbikes all day, the water was a thoughtful offering.
Très propre et confortable.
À améliorer:
Oreillers vraiment grands et incorta les, aucun de rechange dans la chambre
Serviettes si vieilles qu elle se désagrègent en s essuyant, laissant plein de petites particules blanches sur la peau
Wifi très lent, difficile de chrome caster qqc de déjà downloadé

It looks a little scary outside. Could use some maintenance, gardening etc. The staff were very nice. Rooms kind out outdated but very clean. Shower wasn't great. Would stay again
