We were welcomed by two amazing women who assisted with everything we needed. The room was comfy, clean and incredibly eco friendly. It is very quiet and the bed is comfortable as well. The restaurant downstairs was packed for both lunch and dinner with a line out the door. The food was perfectly prepped, spiced and cooked. Carefully selected beers, ciders and wines and they just make it feel like home. DELICIOUS! The service was fun and made the food even better. We felt like we had known everyone for years. It is a very relaxed, casual environment. We walked around for hours. It seems to be an incredible community. We thought about packing up our family and moving to Canada after this stop. We had a wonderful breakfast and the owners mother welcomed us. It felt like visiting your favorite aunt!! Simple, delicious, family style buffet that was a perfect start to our final day on the trail. We absolutely cherished our visit here and will plan to come back! Update: we are staying in a hotel in Montreal this evening that is $500 per night. The service was better here than at a 5-star hotel. I wish I was kidding.

Place sympathique et la nourriture est très bonne, mais ô combien chère pour la quantité! J'avais…read moreplus l'impression d'avoir un mini burger de dégustation avec 8 frites dans l'assiette pour 29$ qu'un burger de taille normale avec une portion normale de frites.

La Sapinière has never disappointed us, but is IS a great big drive from Montreal. We've been going…read morethere for years to celebrate special occasions and the menu is always stellar. The portions are on the small side (obviously) but always satisfying. The main dining room is stunning and overlooks a lake, an amazing view to compliment your meal but if you want to be seated by a window, you should reserve way in advance! They have an excellent wine selection and the dishes are lush. They are beginning to incorporate vegetarian options but overall, expect lots of meat and fish. If you can, try the foie gras, they make it really memorable. My mom did find her quails a bit cold but my veal was to die for. For birthdays, you get glasses of Kir on the house! The staff is really lovely and have made the effort to remember us, which is always appreciated. The recession has struck everyone, and it's nice to see that La Sapinière has tried to adapt: they 3 course table d'hôte is a couple dollars short of $40, the 5-course meal being under $60, an absolute steal (as everything used to be over $80 a couple of years back). Thankfully, they haven't sacrificed quality in any way. The decor is cozy and warm, the hotel was built in the 60s and it still has that slightly retro flavour (carpeted floors, big leather chairs, swiss-chalet style).They try to cater to all sorts of clientele,but I'd say this isn't the most kid-friendly hotel. The bar really stylish and right next to a mahogany pool table and an intimate dance floor. If you feel extra fancy, you can rent you own little bungalow outside the hotel! I would recommend going in winter, I think it's during that time that the Laurentians really shine, the scenery is unbeatable and it makes it the comfort of the place and the food even more worthwhile..

Stayed here for 4 nights this week for business meetings…read more Here are my consolidated ratings: Meeting facilities: 4/5 Restaurant: 3.5/5 (downside was that some of the soups were a bit too salty, portions were a bit on the smaller side but quality, flavour and texture and selection was pretty good) Desert served daily 4/5 Wine served each evening 5/5 Hotel rooms 2/5 (totally outdated and in serious need of an upgrade!!) Service 4/5 beauty of facility situated on the lake 4/5 bar/lounge area 3/5 (feels like you are in a 70's lounge) wifi 1/5 (for the week I could never connect in my room and barely in the meeting rooms) The Sapinere works to be a desirable place to stay but alas the place is very old and dated! Service is very good and location in a nice secluded area!

Disclaimer: This is a review of the breakfast pre Covid…read more It is what it is. Breakfast is little cereal boxes and waffles. I was excited they had waffles though slightly disappointed at the rubbery texture. They were missing the outside crunch and the inside fluffiness. I was grateful there was syrup and butter which helped augment the flavour. My biggest complaint is the plastic cutlery and polystyrene plates that were used. I wish big hotel chains would use something more environmentally friendly. Other than that, we had a great time with friends after being stranded in the winter by the highway. Thank you super 8 for taking us in at last minute notice!! I did not try the swimming pool but there seemed to be people in their enjoying themselves

Spent the weekend here on a de-stress getaway…read more When we arrived on Friday at 8:00pm, the parking lot and entrance was a complete sheet of ice. What's more is that the entrance is up a pretty steep hill. It was so slippery our car couldn't get up so we had to park in the lot at the bottom of the hill and walk up with our bags. OIE. We were pretty upset upon arrival after having almost fallen and broken our necks 10 times on the way up. The story was: their contractor who applies the rocks & sand was called hours ago and they had no idea where he was. Be it true, that was extremely dangerous for us. They should be more diligent with that hill or they may run into legal problems. Having said that, you may wonder why I've given this place a 4 star ? The icy welcome aside, we had a great time. 8 outdoor Jacuzzis, 1 indoor pool, 1 indoor hot tub (with jets), 1 steam room, and massage services. It is ultimate relaxation. The restaurant is in the hotel, right by the spa and it was excellent. Facilities are very clean. The outdoor Jacuzzis are too cool! The room we had was cozy but quite small. Our room had a King sized bed, it was very comfortable. The owner told us they will be upgrading the rooms soon. We received $35 off our next stay anytime... even high season. We will definitely be going back!

The room is very outraged with European style wooden furniture. Shower looked grungy so I didn't try using it. Bed was ok. The staff seem nice. For the price the room was not bad ($79) but if it was higher it would be overpriced. They offered another room they had renovated but it lacked a place to put your clothes like drawers, hangers, coat rack.No chairs either. Just a bed and bathroom. No coffee maker. I declined it. The place needs major renos.There was no breakfast either. It would've helped. The closest small grocery store is a 10 minute walk and there's a Tim Hortons, about a 15 minute walk. The motel is on a highway, so not much around. Maybe a couple restaurants open later in the day. Typo-the room is very outdated. I haven't been there for a while so maybe it's improved. I can't understand why that room had European furniture in the Laurentians. The new owners aren't European either. It's the only room like that. Oddball place.

The views are incredible and many things to do around the area!
