My wife and I chose this hotel based on trip advisor and hotel.ca comments for the start of our bike tour of lac Saint Jean. We had booked a king bed room, and we were assigned a corner room overlooking the "cascades" of the river. Hence the name of the street "Boul. des cascades" . Excellent choice. Front desk staff...

Second time staying at this hotel, and I was not dispointed. With CAA membership rate, this was a fabulous value. The service is exceptional, and location ideal - one can easily walk to nearby park and downtown pubs and restaurant. The Hotel's restaurant provided with a fabulous breakfast at a really low price. Thanks SO MUCH!

A good, clean, reasonably quiet hotel with a friendly, efficient staff, good room size and an adequate exercise facility. Access to the Internet was via a lobby computer, one, and it was free of charge. Relatively inexpensive, definitely a good value. The breakfast choices in the restaurant were good, as was the quality. Easy walking distance to several restaurants. We... More
