We had a great stay here, the staff was friendly and helpful and prompt if we needed anything. Great location and didn't take long to get to our destinations. Loved the pool area, but wasn't expecting a cold water whirlpool, would have preferred it to be warm like the other one. Our room was big and very clean, very nice jet tub too! The hotel was very up to date except for the hallways, they need an update. Other than that, would highly recommend!

It needs some major Reno’s. I heard to not let the outside fool us, but the outside was way nicer than the inside. The pool was originally why we booked. Weird set up- Boston pizza was basically in the same area as the pool, so people are eating and watching you swim
 there was also hotel rooms with “balconies” over looking the pool
 so strange. Also- the pool was filthy. The hot tubs were cloudy and murky. The room was atrocious. Run.

Nous avons sĂ©journĂ© deux nuits dans cet hĂŽtel pour une compĂ©tition Ă  l’UniversitĂ© Laval, et ce fut une vĂ©ritable dĂ©ception. Certes, l’emplacement est idĂ©al, mais l’expĂ©rience hĂŽteliĂšre frĂŽle le cauchemar. Cet ancien motel, grossiĂšrement rebaptisĂ© "hĂŽtel", offre des chambres aussi bien insonorisĂ©es qu’une porte de grange. L’accĂšs Ă  la piscine et au Boston Pizza pourrait ĂȘtre un atout, mais sans aucun raffinement. Quant aux lits, ils n’ont mĂȘme pas de protĂšge-matelas, un dĂ©tail pourtant Ă©lĂ©mentaire. Le plafond en stucco nous rappelle tristement les choix douteux des annĂ©es 70, tĂ©moignant du manque d’effort dans la rĂ©novation. Et pour couronner le tout, le prix est scandaleusement plus Ă©levĂ© que celui des autres hĂŽtels du secteur. Si vous assistez Ă  un Ă©vĂ©nement universitaire, passez votre chemin – cet endroit ne vaut absolument pas le dĂ©tour.
