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 séjourné deux nuits dans cet hôtel pour une compétition à l’Université Laval, et ce fut une véritable déception. Certes, l’emplacement est idéal, mais l’expérience hôtelière frôle le cauchemar. Cet ancien motel, grossièrement rebaptisé "hôtel", offre des chambres aussi bien insonorisées qu’une porte de grange. L’accès à la piscine et au Boston Pizza pourrait être un atout, mais sans aucun raffinement. Quant aux lits, ils n’ont même pas de protège-matelas, un détail pourtant élémentaire. Le plafond en stucco nous rappelle tristement les choix douteux des années 70, témoignant du manque d’effort dans la rénovation. Et pour couronner le tout, le prix est scandaleusement plus élevé que celui des autres hôtels du secteur. Si vous assistez à un événement universitaire, passez votre chemin – cet endroit ne vaut absolument pas le détour.
