What a lovely spot to stay! We were enroute from Halifax to Montreal and the location was nice and close to the highway. The hotel is updated. Quiet, comfortable, very clean! The room was extremely clean…we could open a sliding door and there was a small porch. It reminded me of stays in Europe! Continental breakfast included baked goodies, boiled eggs, toast, bagels, yogurt, fruit, cereal, there was a dedicated gluten free toaster as well. The breakfast room had a beautiful large window and was bright airy and quiet! Probably the most I’ve ever enjoyed a hotel breakfast! Merci! We will definitely return!
Was a very cute 1950s style. Little motel. Very updated in a lot of ways but still at Old charm. Beautiful friendly people. The owner it was amazing. The breakfast was was really incredibly good. They had a very good assortment of things to nibble on to start your day and great coffee to get your day started and this is another five star rating and I if I could give it 10:20 I would give it 10 or 20 stars. They truly go out and beyond and the prices are very very reasonable
Simple yet charming. It doesn’t promise much but the vintage 1950’s style all around and good breakfast leave you with a touch of “home”. I only stayed one night but highly recommend.
I spent a weekend with my family, and it was wonderful. The welcome was excellent, the staff was friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. The design was stylish and modern. Breakfast was included and quite good. Overall, it was a great find, and I’ll definitely come back!
Beautiful motel when you walk in fresh flowers and a concierge. Breakfast was good contenintal style but premium choices harvest crunch for the cereal,fresh cookies and banana bread. Fresh fruit salad. The room I was in had tile floors in the whole room that was not ideal. The room was very clean the beds were very comfortable.
Until now, I've never liked staying in motels. This place is not like the typical motels you think of. It is absolutely gorgeous. From the moment you walk in the lobby - modern, renovated, warm welcome - you simply know that you will have a great stay. The rooms: Unbelievable. The pictures didn't do it justice. We had the family suite. It was beautifully renovated, very clean, very spacious and there was nothing missing. Staff: absolutely lovely. They were all super nice. We felt so welcome when we arrived and the cleaning ladies were sweethearts. Location: Ideal. Less than two minute drive from the charming town of La Pocatière, so it was very quiet but close to everything. And there was lots of parking! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone travelling by La Pocatière, it was way nicer than lots of hotels I've stayed in PLUS they have breakfast included!
old school vibe with the necessary updates. clean room, comfortable beds, new TV with decent videotron cable package. Breakfast is purely continental. Overall customer service top notch. perfect spot for an overnighter.
Rooms were very clean, beds and pillows were super comfy, and the towels were nice and fluffy. Service was friendly and welcoming. Hotel is kid friendly, they had an highchair and booster seats in the dining area. All around we had great stay, and we will book again in the future.
A 9-minute walk from shopping at the Galeries La Pocatiere, this laid-back, 1950s motel on the shores of the St. Lawrence River is also a 13.5-km drive from the Club De Golf St-Pacome.
