Cheap and cheerful motel, dated furnishings, great bed and super clean. Claudette who took my reservation was very friendly, if you find a super clean room to be important this motel has nailed it.|Nice balcony to sit out on and watch the sunset over the river

This small hotel was very cute and quaint. The retro furniture takes you back in time. 😁 the room is clean and tidy, the beds are comfortable and the water is hot. No microwave or fridge but there is wifi, television and a kurig coffee maker. All rooms face the St. Lawrence River. There is a terrace on both floors with tables to sit and enjoy the stunning views. Our room had 2 double beds and a surprise Murphy bed, single so would be perfect for a small family. Thank you!

Darkest room ever, no hair dryer, no fridge, cheap toilletteries. At the front desk the lady asks us why we are too late cause she is waiting for us to check in (we arrived at 9 pm.) Balcony's front view is blocked by trees. Old fashioned TV. The shower was good and comfortable bed. Does not worth the price.

This was a one night stop on our way home from the Gaspé and it was a great choice. Close to restaurants and nice waterfront park with walking path and picnic tables. The view from balconies is outstanding and we saw a family of belugas playing. Breakfast is well worth the money also.

★★★

Little gem of a motel. Clean, a little dated decor but worth it for the spectacular sunset! Amazing view! Fridge in room and comfortable bed. Shower floor was spongy?? Water beneath? Owners were very polite & helpful and tried to speak English with my own lacking French! Close to restaurants in the area.

The other reviews are spot on when they say this is basic. A small room, no coffee making, never found the hairdryer BUT a view to rival most places we have stayed over many years of holidays. The sun slowly sinking behind the hill oposite was amazing and the veranda was a good place to watch the tides. There is good WiFi, plenty of parking and a very good breakfast for an extra $5.

The room we were in was very very basic. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable but rooms are small. It didn't suit our needs. There was No clock, No phone, No coffee maker, no where to put luggage, limited plugs, And you had to pay a small fee for breakfast. Also, no place to leave key other than in the room if you wanted to check out early. Tried unsuccessfully knocking and ringing the door bell. We could have and should have stayed at the nearby quality inn where for the same price we would have had all that.

From the rooms at the back you have splendid views, especially at sunset (we were told by others staying there) over St Laurent, we were "upstairs". Rooms otherwise are large (at least the one we got for family of four, with even couch and reasonably large seating area), but somewhat run down (curtains allow much light), and television is probably the oldest model we had on our trip. Compared with the very friendly welcome in Quebec generally this one is quite "cautious". Breakfast can be taken for 5 cad, choice made from menu. Evening there would be some choice for dinner but we arrived too late for that part. Boat to other side is very close, city centre is a few kilometers away. It is next to the road, so best not to sleep with room open on that side of room.

Good welcome. Clean room but big problem with air conditioning too strong, not accessible to reduce it. Positive point, the receptionist managed to have a more pleasant temperature in the room. Decent breakfast. Nice view point at the back of the building.

Lovely and relaxing stay! Very nice motel. Own. Beautiful flowers. Charming rustic decor. Comfortable bed. Nice surprise from the fridge! Patio door and beautiful view of the river on the magnificent wooden terrace. Each room has its own small private patio. Very cool! The Auberge is super well located just at the entrance to Rivière-du Loup (vehicle required to get around). The owner was kind enough to give us the end room so that our Golden Retriever dog had direct access to the side land :) It was a really pleasant stay! I recommend! The ceiling being poorly insulated, we hear a lot of people on the 2nd floor, but we slept well, peacefully at night. A hair dryer would be welcome. The hot and cold water in the sink are separate, the old-fashioned way, so its impossible to wash your hands with lukewarm water. We were a little cramped in the room with all our supplies, the cage and the big dog, but I dont regret my choice. I loved the place! When its not windy, which is rare, you smell a little cow manure from the farm across the street. The dining room is closed at the moment. Nearby activities: Kiskotuk coastal park, Gros-Cacouna sector: marshes and mountains. We even saw belugas! Rivière-du-Loup Falls Park: super beautiful, several different ecosystems, varied landscapes, Parc de la Pointe at the foot of the Auberge and belvedere within walking distance.

Magnificent view, very clean room and very courteous staff. Although well maintained, the establishment would certainly benefit from some renovations in order to bring everything a little more up to date. Please note that the hostel is located in front of a farm and that there are sometimes smells and noise. (personally this was not disturbing).

Very quaint motel. Right on the edge of the St Lawrence. Just on the fringe of town. Excellent experience.

December 23, 2021

Everything has been said... The bedroom door doesnt close.... and luckily the manager finds a piece of wood exactly the right size to jam the bedroom door. The light and the TV turn on by themselves during the night.... The manager is at least frank enough to tell me that this is the last room available in Rivière du Loup... To be avoided... unless its This is the last room at your disposal....

December 23, 2021

The view is superb but thats it! No comfort, you can hear the neighbors in the next room and the passing car. Outdated furniture, the floors are crooked, it smells musty. Im really disappointed, the price is way too expensive for the offer.

December 23, 2021

No soundproofing between rooms. We got poked on the head all evening and from 7:00 a.m. the next morning. Motel stuck on the 132. Very noisy. Bathroom from the last century (1950). The bath descent is a paper placemat. unstable wifi. Armchair in the room even older than the bathroom. We didnt dare sit on it because it looked so dusty. No small fridge in the room. Imagine everything at $120.00 plus taxes which gives $145.00 at the end of September. You have to do it. Unfortunately, I forgot to check the comments before renting, something I usually do.

We got a mini 1 bed room on the ground floor for the same price, instead of the large 2 double bed room on the 2nd floor. In addition, the view was obstructed on the ground floor. Zero comfort is not worth 2 stars. Very disappointing

December 23, 2021

The place is disgusting. A smell of urine invades the room the furniture is very old not to mention the bedding which dates from the 50s The carpet smells musty. Do not walk barefoot.. We can hear everything that is happening in the others rooms. Not recommended, Its really not worth the asking price of 130.00 per night. Avoid at all costs. Dont get caught like us.

A somewhat outdated 2-star motel, owner-managed. You can see that efforts are being made to keep the motel/rooms up to standard. Somewhat simple furnishings, which is probably why only 2 stars. But: Fantastic terrace in front of the room with a view over the St. Lorenz Stream, great to watch at sunset. Definitely bookable for 1 or 2 nights when passing through!

We were surprised by the place which lacked maintenance. We had a room in the back on the second floor. We had to leave the room door open for several hours because the musty smell camouflaged by cleaning products penetrated our nostrils (it is true that there is also a farm in front of the inn, so , we avoided opening the only small window despite the heat). Too much bulky and unnecessary furniture (in poor condition and not comfortable). No space or small table adequate to have a meal inside the room. Only one small trash can and its in the bathroom. Our garbage bags were left outside our room door during our entire stay (two nights) without anyone picking them up. Could really do with a bit of updating up to date. The owner could be more welcoming and warm. When you decide to work with the public, you need to know yourself well enough to know if you have or dont have this sense of customer service! Too bad, because the view is superb. But I would not recommend this place for people who want to enjoy their stay with a minimum of comfort.
