||Good value and overall this hotel was very good. Good sized room considering I paid for an economy one. Two king size beds , bathroom was clean and everything worked fine. Coffee pods for the machine were good quality. WiFi worked well. Overall very quiet location. There is a restaurant on site and would recommend it for breakfast. |

I asked for a solution for a noisy room that I could not sleep. They offered me another room and clearly mentioned it is free. However the next morning they charged me and I was chocked.

Best accommodations in the area. The staff will go out of their way to help you find what you need. Rooms are clean, spacious and come with coffee maker (Keurig) and fridge. The location is central to Shawi and the view of the river is always a bonus. This has been my go-to for the last several years. Kudos to the staff. Hope they’ll be around for many years to come.

I recently stayed at Hôtel Énergie Shawinigan and had a good experience. The location is perfect, especially if you're visiting the nearby national parks. The staff were welcoming and the check-in process was smooth. My room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all necessary amenities. The hotel offers excellent facilities, including a great restaurant, a well-equipped fitness center, and a relaxing spa area. The pool and hot tub were well-maintained and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Overall, I highly recommend Hôtel Énergie Shawinigan for its excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and top-notch facilities. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Spent 2 nights there and very satified with everything. Super clean rooms, recently renovated with very nice design. Spacious room and bathroom. The hotel has a very nice restaurant for the 3 meals, so no need to go out to get food. The view from the room is amazing , right on the river . Very quite place to relax. I recommend it for a nice vacation or business stay.

The people working here were helpful and kind. Check-in was quick and easy, as was check-out. We were unhappy with our room - it was un-renovated and smelled like mildew - we requested an upgrade and were kindly moved to a renovated room which was better, but the bathroom still smelled of mildew. The gym is really old and could use some new equipment. There is plenty of parking but, like the hotel, it needs work, and you need to be careful: there was a piece of metal sticking up from a manhole that would pop any tire that goes over it. The first night we were there it seemed really quiet, but the next night someone was in the room next to us, and we could hear more than we wanted to. The attached restaurant is like the hotel: just okay but staffed with nice, friendly people.

I loved my stay, the staff were welcoming, the room was comfortable and clean. Rooms: The rooms were well maintained; on the other hand, I liked less the presence of carpets in the room. Walkability: Restaurants and micro-breweries are easily accessible on foot and it is very pleasant to walk in the village and along the waters edge.

Youth hostel quality room, looks like a student room. The furniture is cheap, Ikea style, residential quality floating floor attacked by water from boots. Ah yes RCA TVs with non-HD stations.

Ça sent très mauvais ici. Jai visité deux chambres et les deux renfermaient une odeur rance et écoeurante. Trouvez un moyen daérer cet hôtel, par pitié. Plein de poussière sur la table de chevet. Peinture écaillée, hôtel très mal entretenu qui manque clairement damour. Des retouches de peinture cest tout de même pas la fin du monde me semble. Je ne reviendrais pas.

Good service at reception. The corridors are not air-conditioned and were hot, however the air conditioning in the room was effective. Good soundproofing, comfortable beds. We would have liked to have been told clearly that we had to book for the Pacini, its not easy to know and so we werent able to go. Spacious and well-equipped room, but not very well washed, the sinks were full of hairs Swimming pool and spa were good. A hotel which has a lot of potential but which unfortunately lacks a lot of love and maintenance. Many lights didnt work, worn furniture and a cabinet handle remained in my hand, unpainted plaster patch on the wall... In general its not that bad but I dont recommend it.

Nice place need reno

August 23, 2024

Horrible experience. The room was unsanitary (presence of mold on the curtains of the window and the bathroom, and a very strong musty smell) and the cleaning had obviously not been done. My baby picked up a medicine pill from the floor and almost ate it. Completely unacceptable and dangerous situation. Given the mold in the room and the feeling of insecurity for our child, we left Shawinigan and canceled our weekend. The hotel did absolutely nothing. No follow-up from management. We absolutely do not recommend staying at this place!

We rented the family suite. $350 for one night with very uncomfortable mattresses is very disappointing. Spring mattress too old, The bedroom needs a lick of paint to hide the plaster patches. Otherwise the swimming pool and spa was good, we had a lot of fun and also the location is very good for visiting Shawinigan. Rooms: The Family Suite, they absolutely must change the mattresses and paint the room Nearby activities: Walk along the Maurice River. Canteen, restaurant, bar, energy city

Unfortunately the hotel is not well maintained. The paint is peeling. Its a shame because the location of the hotel is excellent. We are disappointed given the asking price.

Really dissatisfied with the service! Staff and management are throwing the ball back and forth... No one bothers to actually talk with us. They MADE a mistake in assigning our room, but according to them, it was me who should have asked for the invoice when handing over the keys (Check in). I did not realize that I had a room luxury This means that the room was very ordinary (standard)... OK for a classic room but clearly not for a Signature room!!! I had requested a classic room. For those who love the swimming pool . To avoid. So many chemicals that within minutes we had irritation! The only positive point .. the hotel is well located in relation to the Saint-Maurice promenade.

Do not hold an event at this location, it does not respect contracts!! We had reserved a block of 100 rooms for a conference and they rented part of our rooms to other people so we had to rent in another hotel to fill the missing rooms. In addition, this hotel does business with an exclusive caterer charging an exorbitant price! It s not easy for young people to hold an event there! Noteworthy details: Non-compliance with their contracts

March 23, 2024

I stayed there for 4 nights in a professional setting. The Énergie hotel obviously benefits from the lack of competition in the hotel industry in Shawinigan, otherwise it would most likely already be closed. - The room: Cold and damp. No heating when I arrived. It hasnt been up to date for ages. The photos on the website show renovated rooms, which is far from being the case for all rooms. - The bathroom: Dirty. The shower head was not flowing and was leaking. I couldnt wash the first day and had very little hot water the rest of my stay. - Soundproofing: Non-existent. I could hear the slightest noise coming from the hallway, neighboring rooms or on the other floor. - The staff: When they dont arrive late, you have to run after them to find someone. When we hold one, it either doesnt have the information, or tells us to talk to someone else (equally hard to find), or it tells us to figure it out ourselves. The management of the room reservation service is disgraceful. The lady obviously has no problem or remorse in not respecting the signed contracts. One evening, when I went to reception, there was no one at the counter and only a card saying back in 15 minutes . After 5 minutes of waiting, the employee came from outside with a Tim Hortons coffee. - Infrastructure: It is unthinkable that in 2024 a hotel will not be suitable for people with reduced mobility. The sidewalks are not level, the entrance doors are not made for wheelchair traffic and the button to open the door automatically did not even work. The most ridiculous thing is that there isnt even an elevator to go upstairs. Event rooms need a lot of love. The lighting is either too dark or too bright and a sick white-green. The options for stages, tables and room layout are highly doubtful. Half of the screens in the home no longer even work and are not replaced. For events, only one caterer is required. It is ordinary and we cannot choose our own. - Food: The restaurant and the hotel do not communicate with each other. Although it is present on the invoice, we are told that it is impossible to put our invoice on our hotel room. In addition, the lunch included in the overnight stay is frankly pitiful. You will probably be better accommodated at the Comfort Inn. Otherwise, simply stop at Trois-Rivières.

March 23, 2024

Do not do events or reservations with them. An example among the multitude of things that happened during the event: One of my participants was treated to a bathroom with lots of hairs on the floor, and the reception, which cannot be excused, only provided her with a broom and a sheet of paper to pick up. No one came to his room to see the situation. It had barely been an hour since we arrived. The room and room reservation service are two different companies that do not speak to each other. The room reservation service did not respect our contract and overbooked rooms and instead of fixing the situation by canceling the rooms of people outside of our group, they simply referred us to another hotel. Although they claim to have found other rooms available, this is false, it was our events manager who had to negotiate a new contract BEFORE the energy hotel reacted. For the rooms they charged us more than the price displayed on booking as of today. Do you want billing? They will send you an invoice via unprotected Excel file. If you give them a deposit, be careful because they may forget it was made and charge you for it again. Their butler for the event arrived an hour late on the day of our event, without any explanation or apology. When we expressed our dissatisfaction, thinking that we couldnt hear it, the reception manager downright insulted us. Insulting a customer is a huge lack of professionalism, but instead of apologizing, she simply took refuge in the lobby offices. The night team is more helpful and available than this manager who will send you an email per week to put pressure on you to reduce the number of rooms you have reserved to please other customers. If part of the hotel is renovated, you will be entitled to plastic flowers or non-functional shower heads in the other. We had received a lot of bad feedback, but with management changing we thought it would be different. But no. In addition, there is no elevator for people with reduced mobility. The only positive point: the check-in was quick.

December 23, 2023

I thought I was getting a good deal by leaving for Shawinigan this evening... the plan: not to be stressed on the road, to be near the school tomorrow morning for my teenagers activity, but above all I chose the hotel based on its services. (Pool, spa, restaurant nearby) But I had not planned these inclusions: Children running throughout the hotel, children screaming in the corridors, a swimming pool full of children, a spa full of children ... in short, a bus full of 8/9 year olds in hockey tournaments... Yeeeee. I have nothing against children, the real problem is the adults, the parents who drag their beer everywhere and let their little ones do whatever it takes! I was hoping to take advantage of the last hour of the pool, thinking that these charming little players would go to bed early to be in shape for their match tomorrow... well no! One night at $236 too poorly invested

★★★★★
December 23, 2023

I share my recent experience during a family trip (2 adults, 2 children aged 8 and 9) in the Shawinigan region at the end of February 2023. REMINDER: as it is a 3-star hotel, I judge it based on comparing to other 3 stars, not to a 5 star. ROOM: We had booked a renovated room with two double beds. It was located on the ground floor. I found the room well equipped (fridge, microwave, coffee maker), generally clean (example: lamp bases were dusty), but the vinyl floor was very cold. Everything was functional. All we were missing was a large bath towel, which we collected easily at the front desk. One thing I really liked was the view from our room, overlooking the Canotiers Park and the water. The beds are a little firm for my taste, but nothing to prevent you from sleeping or getting up stiff! HOTEL: Corridors and common areas are clean. The kids spent a lot of time at the pool/spa. The pool water is warm and the depth is ideal for children. There are showers/toilets at the swimming pools. The only downside was that we had to use towels from our room or get them from reception. The hotel is close to LOTS of activities for families. RESTAURANT: The Pacini annexed to the hotel is great!! Children eat there for $5, the menu is varied, they have good affordable wines and the Bread Bar is a must with children! The service is absolutely IMPECCABLE, for dinner and lunch service! EMPLOYEES/SERVICE: The only employee we spoke to was the front desk person. Very kind and courteous. They advised us on nearby restaurants. We loved our stay. We will definitely go back, probably for a weekend this summer.

They dont work anymore. Our floor lamp was not working, had to call the reception to have it replace by a working one. The fridge kept on humming high and gurgling all night. No closet or coat rack to our disposition. (There were 4 small hooks on the wall but they were being used by the ironing board leg as I supposed there was no place to hang it.) Being in the winter, we require to wear outside clothing but there is no place to put them. No closet or dressers Where are we suppose to them?

A nightmare of a night. Rooms are ugly and cold, it is super noisy and to top it off, the fire alarm rang all night in the hallway and kept us awake. We paid 225$ for this. The reception staff couldn t compensate us and said their superior would call us. Still waiting for that call 1 month later. Stay away from this place

Expereienced an overnight stay at this location. Rooms are spacious and clean. Requires little uplift in organizing appliances. Cofee maker is kept on a microwave while microwave is kept on a fridge. Location is great with great amenties and restaurants are available on walking distance.

First, I want to mention that we really arent the type of customers who usually complain, but this weekend the Shawinigan energy hotel reached unexpected levels. Our room was covered in black mold on all the bottom wall moldings. No room available to make a change and no employee available to clean. I had to clean it all myself. The manager still gave us a discount. The humidity level in the room is so high that the bed sheets are damp and there is a persistent smell of mold. Unable to open the window, we had to leave the bathroom ventilation running to make the situation a little better. The room furnishings were in very poor condition and dirty (roller chair in very poor condition and stained). The spa and swimming pool were not clean (foggy water and dirty canvas). That said, the beds are very clean and comfortable. The included breakfast is very basic (2 eggs, bacon or sausage) for about $40 more per room. The advantage: you dont have to leave the hotel and there is an unlimited bread bar. Dont forget to book, because even if its included in the room, theyll turn you away! In summary, we were really disappointed with our stay. The immediate surroundings of the hotel are so beautiful and the surrounding restaurants are definitely worth a visit, but we were fooled once and wont be fooled again. Damage ! Rooms: Outdated and full of mold Nearby activities: Surrounding restaurants are worth a visit

The decoration of the room, very ordinary. Very poor soundproofing. We could hear children running above our room. Lots of traffic in the corridor and we could hear the conversations as if we were participating in them. Very ordinary lunch included. The only positive point is the location facing a body of water and close (on foot) to good restaurants.

We were not impressed with the quality of the rooms versus the asking price. On the other hand, we see that the staff responsible for cleaning do a very good, attentive job. All in all, the rooms are still OK, only that we expected more given the price. Clearly the Pacini restaurant which is twinned with the hotel greatly increases the level of comfort, no need to even take the car or go out to have dinner. Rooms: 2/5 Quality of rooms 4.5/5 housekeeping (2022) Nearby activities: Devils hole just a stones throw away Pacini Safety: Ok, the basics nothing extraordinary Food and drinks: Paired with pacini its a plus Noteworthy details: Not very good value for money

December 23, 2023

I was there as part of my work. Poor room. We see that the owner does not want to put money into the hotel. No heating upon entering the room. Cold, damp sheets. Damaged tiles, mold. Old carpet in the corridor, where we see a dented heater. The spa is an indoor outdoor spa. Our room seemed to be one that had not been rented for a long time and whose existence had been forgotten. The employees we meet are either on their phones or they dont say hello to us. I thought I was in another dimension, it was so unreal. Our room For lunch on the banquet side, we were given expired soft drinks. I DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR BEDROOM AT ALL!!! However, nothing to say about the location and the Pacini restaurant, they are very good. Rooms: Poor room, no heating. Dirty and damaged tiles, toilet seat with cigarette burn. Old dirty carpet from the 80s in the corridor, its terrible.

Really disappointing. Very expensive for a poorly renovated motel room with old blinds in the windows, uncomfortable low beds and no soundproofing (I could hear everything from the room upstairs). Very ordinary swimming pool and spa surrounded by carpets like a mini-putt court covering. Otherwise, the reception is correct. A 2 star, no more, and should be half the price.

Very disappointing room. Opening the door, we notice the wall at the headboard all peeling of paint... lots of marks on the walls. The furniture is very old, with a white chair in yellowed imitation leather as a bedside table... the bed creaks, mattress much too firm with pillows much too thick. On the bed, no fitted sheet, the pillows are too big for the size of the pillowcases... the television controller does not work. No soundproofing... you can hear everything that happens in the corridors and you can hear peoples footsteps in the room above....... bathroom from the 80s... mold in the bottom of the shower ... Brief. For a worker, it does the job completely. For the rest, a big 0 for the room. The location of the hotel is super beautiful though. And the Pacini restaurant is in the hotel so you dont need to go out to eat. Much too expensive for the quality... We got along much better considering the price... I do not recommend... We can clearly see that no money is invested in the room...

Disappointing hotel. Very well located and quiet but the rooms are very old. The ugly bathroom, ugly to not enter. The noise from the air conditioning unit was hellish. And to top it off the disappointment of the morning breakfast. Little, no variety. To not return.

For $183 (including taxes) I wasnt expecting a palace but I was still disappointed. Very poorly soundproofed, I heard my neighbors going out to smoke until 4 a.m. (civility is not given to everyone). The window covering let plenty of daylight through. The bedding was clean but of low quality. A mini television, bedside lamps that dont work, old outdated ceramic floor. In short, the hotel changed its name but nothing was done in the room I occupied. The friendly welcoming staff, like many people in Mauricie.

You would get little for your money. The staff of the place is attentive but the rooms... outdated, floating floor swollen with water, air conditioning that smells musty, blue-white light fixtures with some missing or burned, duvets that I would not give to my guests, towels from Dollarama, a leaking fridge, all the entrances in the back would not pass an inspection by the building authority and so on. We rented three rooms and none were better. If you go through it, its better to go straight. Only its location is practical. A little love to this hotel wouldnt go amiss. Sorry.

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. English communication isn t fluent but relatively effective. Location is beautiful with the medium sized lake in front very scenic and calm. There are a lot of eating options I the surrounding area.

The sink was leaking in the bathroom when we arrived, it took 48 hours before the gentleman came and told us that it was the hood that was dry. So, proof that the room had not been used recently. It was a room for people with reduced mobility, a vertical grab bar next to the bath was missing. The beds are horrible!!! Too soft and not stable enough to reduce the risk of falling. My daughter found a screw on the floor under the bed. Lunches, not enough choice just eggs and meat. The pool floor, synthetic turf, soggy as hell!!! And the water was questionable. Nothing to say about the staff, very smiling and friendly. Disabled parking spaces too far from the door. Great location!!!

Amazing !!!!!!!!!! We had to pay $264/night. I couldnt even be mad because the room made us laugh because it was so ridiculous. Our room was equipped with an old glass desk with an old blue crooked computer chair from the 90s, a sofa chair from the 80s. A microwave that was once white, now yellow. The walls were not painted. Still on the primer with blue sticker everywhere. A TV of at least 18 inches on a desk in very poor condition. The beds mattresses very uncomfortable. The swimming pool and spa...hahahaha dont risk it, strong smell of mold as soon as you enter the room, the water is sickening! Positive. The staff is friendly and the location is really optimal. For $80 a night I could risk it again. Hahah

Not a great experience. We were told that we would have a room with a king size bed, but it was not. I suspect the newer rooms near the front of the hotel are fine, but our room was at the end of many long and winding halls, near the back. Everything was very old. The bed only appeared to be a double, and the mattress was old and not very comfortable. If I had known this in advance, I could have brought an extra portable sleeping mattress. There were no cots available. One of the front reception staff was irritable and unhelpful.

December 23, 2022

Magnificent exterior landscape but from the entrance it is a disappointment. The furnishings are outdated, damaged and in poor taste. A real cheap flea market in the room. The cleanliness is questionable and obviously the decoration has not been thought through. In summary, a real debacle since it is no longer the Les Gouverneurs channel. Its sad...

Section not renovated. Foam bed Memory. Not too comfortable. Own But due to lack of staff, we have to ask for clean towels as needed. The people there are still very welcoming. Consider asking not to be housed near night workers who sleep there during the day. Although we ask you to pay attention to the noise so as not to disturb them, these workers slam the doors when they leave in the early morning and we can hear the engines of their large trucks. Decent swimming pool.
