Awesome older hotel in the Heart of Magog, Quebec. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great Chinese food restaurant in hotel. Walking distance to many restaurants.

★★★★

Perfect location with restaurant in and around. Very clean and well kept establishment. Only negative is that the floors are wood and sound travels from the room above if people are walking with shoes or moving luggage. Bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Staff was wonderful.

The room was impeccably clean, which gets high marks from us. It wasn't fancy, but the bed was very comfortable and while we were there, it was very quiet. The staff was very helpful. We did not eat here, so we cannot comment on that. Its location is convenient and close to everything on Magogs main street.

We stayed here and we were pleasantly surprised by the attentiveness of the staff. The food and service were amazing. Definitely coming back again. Thank you for your great hospitality.

When you visit this hotel, tread lightly. With Ms. Escobar at reception, expect to be schooled in how the customer is always wrong. She might just declare you stupid for not finding your key, even if you're just following her directions. Showing up for work seems to be her biggest favor to the world, so don't count on any extra smiles or help. And remember the "Desperado" bar scene ? "Your beer tastes like piss!" "Yeah, that's because we pee in it." That's the level of 'courtesy' to anticipate here.

Nice hotel by the river in downtown Magog, with Restaurants and pubs close by. Easy and short drive to some great hiking. We loved the colours on our fall visit after Thanksgiving. Wonderful restaurants and pubs within easy walking distance.

Stayed here over Canada day long weekend for a family wedding. Great hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Our room was spotless. 2 adults, toddler and baby was a little tight but comfortable. Great central location across from a McDonald’s that’s ideal for a quick family breakfast. No issues with parking. Would definitely go back

Disappointed. The rooms are clean but old. The TV did not work. Found someone's clothes in a drawer. Little reaction when I pointed this out. The restaurant food is mediocre, breakfast (not included) was serving stale croissants. There is a great restaurant next door (White Horse) that I recommend.

Very warm welcome, the staff is very polite, courteous and professional. Very nice rooms, spacious, very comfortable, mini fridge, coffee machine, television. The room service is impeccable, very clean, tidy, super clean sparkling bathroom, towels and dryer, shower. Excellence I recommend this place without any hesitation, easy parking at the back, entrance designed for people in wheelchairs or reduced mobility for the front entrance door. I had a pleasant stay, yes I am going there return, you will be welcomed with a smile at the reception, there is an elevator, there are 4 floors. Thank you to all the staff in place during my stay, I am very grateful to you. Congratulations to the manager and thank you to your staff. Michel Rooms: 7 stars, full comfort to relax and rest, very quiet place to sleep at night, you are not bothered by outside noise. Nearby activities: Close to everything, restaurants, shops, activities Safety: Very well controlled by reception, Walkability: Very close to the marina, sidewalk, walking path nearby, magnificent view of the lake, a very beautiful century-old church not far from the hotel on foot. Magog is a very beautiful city to visit and stay.

The location is ideal. First romantic getaway in 8 months since the birth of our little boy. I came home at the end of the evening covered in red wine because a stranger spilled a whole glass of wine on me. T-shirt, cotton wool and white shoes stained with red wine. The lady at reception offered to wash my clothes. The next morning I found my clothes in a bag at the foot of my door. No more stains! Best service ever received in a hotel.

I give it 3 and a half stars. Our room was very clean. Impeccable bathroom. I found the place very simple, too simple. The paintings in the rooms are pretty but the prices next to them are a little too much. Theres already advertising everywhere in town so having more in my room wasnt great. Then the view of the McDonalds is a shame the city accepted such a banner in front of a strategic point but it does not help the surrounding merchants and it takes away from the beauty of the corner. The roof seemed fine but it was raining and it was very messy.

December 22, 2022

I stayed at this hostel on the night of August 18-19, 2022. Heres what youll get for one night at $250...: - Half renovated room, very small, bathroom dated and very small. - Uncomfortable mattress. If youre taller than 510, your feet will tower over you at the foot of the bed. - Theres no point paying extra for a room with a lake view. The only view you will have is of the McDonalds across the street. - Outdated and dangerous roof terrace. I didnt dare venture there for fear of falling through the rotten boards. - Carpets in common areas old and dilapidated, bordering on unsanitary. - Extremely noisy ventilation system. Insulation non-existent, we can hear the occupants of the room upstairs and in the corridors very well. Impossible to sleep without traffic jams I understand that its high season and that its directly located in Magog, but $250 to sleep one night at this hotel is a laugh! I will never go back there and I strongly advise against it.

The Auberge is just awesome. This quaint inn is on the lake on one side and on a canal on the other. It is tucked neatly in a beautiful village called Magog. Great shopping,great food,great beverages,vineyards close by, mountains on the outskirts of town...what can you say...its gorgeous. The people are delightful, more than willing to communicate in English or French, but oh so appreciative if you make the effort to speak French. Our hosts were lovely and helpful, the rooms were clean though next time Id definitely ask for a room facing the harbour. Youve got to explore the beautiful countryside...again, the people are fantastic. Catch the colours while you can.

TV if you need it because of the not so soundproof rooms then you might want to be sure your TV remote works because ours did not... Beds and pillows are really soft and I haven t been in a hotel or motel with double beds since I have been a kid. Being 6 foot it s definately not ideal. Would only recommend it for its central location. Otherwise it was hard to find space to park my car and not very updated.

We arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night and when we checked in we were told that breakfast was available from 6:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and that it was included in the room price. The next morning we were told at 10:00 a.m. that breakfast was only available until 9:30 a.m. The lady kindly served us anyway and the breakfast was also very tasty. Then came the next surprise, as breakfast wasnt included and we had to pay another $16. When we asked for a room for the next night, the lady gave us a price, which we accepted. Due to a room change we had to check in again. When checking in, it turned out that it was only the net price without tax etc., which made the room almost $30 more expensive... So its better to ask three times about the price and included services! <br/>The rooms in the hotels are very well maintained, clean and the beds are very comfortable. There is also a roof terrace where you can sit wonderfully. The park is right around the corner and everything is within walking distance.

We spent the last night in this house, the first thing we were promised was a room with a lake view, we overlooked the parking lot. After a lovely meal in town we returned to the room.
