Well, if you need to spend the night in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada, there are not a lot of…read morerecognizable choices. Except Choice Hotels.
Choice Hotels is a conglomeration of lower priced hotel chains somewhere between Days Inn/Best Western, and the lower name brands of the majors chains from Hilton, Starwood or Marriott. Choice Hotels would include Clarion, Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, and Mainstay Suites. They do have a frequent guest program, called Choice Privileges. Is Choice the chain with the Johnny Cash singing commercial with "I've been everywhere, man!"?? I could do my own rendition of that song. However, I haven't stayed at that many "Choice" Hotels!
Quality Suites Drummondville is new, less than 5 years old, and the rooms are in pretty new condition, with acceptable furnishings, adequate lighting and outlets, a double queen suite with 2 lounge chairs, a desk, a Fridge, Microwave, and wet bar. Only 1 TV, however, and 1 closet by the door. There is a glass wall and door between the two beds. Not good for 2 business people, but maybe good for a family.
The good thing is that breakfast and WiFi are complimentary with your room rate. The bad thing is with a rate of about $100 CAD, which is a corporate rate, it isn't cheap for being in the boonies; the breakfast is contiental and with only canned fruit, and the walls are a little thin.
This is a 100% non-smoking hotel of 4 stories, and it reminds me a lot like a Homewood Suites or a smaller Hampton Inn from Hilton. They even use the same shower curtain with the peek-a-boo gauze panel.
Aside from its parochial green/gold/olive/beige decor, the building itself has a facade to make it look like a traditional French Country Manor ,with faux blue tiled, trapazoidal roof and decorative window shutters.
In reality, this is no French Manor, au contraire mon frere! No French maids here with little feather dusters in skimpy black outfits, mais non! Just simply a business travellers rest stop. Service is congenial.
