Pooh and I stayed here while visiting Kamouraska and Riviere-du-Loup…read more The hotel has many amenities like a spa, gym and pool. The pool was closed. Our room was large and had wood floors instead of carpet which we liked. The TV was internet ready and apps included Netflix and Amazon Prime which was a bonus because the cable channels were basic. The room had also a small fridge, a microwave, a safe and coffee maker We had a king bed and a pullout sofa bed. The view was the parking lot and a car dealership but none of the views were amazing. The only negative comment about the room was the bathroom. When we arrived we saw long, black hair all over the floor. Pooh took a picture of it and showed it to the person at the reception. The man said he would send someone up to check it out but when the maintenance person arrived he only looked at the floor in the living area; he didn't even go in the bathroom. I ended up cleaning the bathroom floor. For that reason only I give this hotel 3 stars.

Upon check-in I was told none of the restaurants were open that night. (this may be a Mondays problem?) I was given a list of local restaurants that deliver food to the hotel.

The gentleman we spoke to when trying to make a reservation, refused to attempt to understand English and at the end of the conversation, I repeated clearly in French slowly, our reservation details. Of course, when we arrived we had been omitted from the reservation list. "This is the only table left" we were firmly told pointing to a small table in the middle of a lounge area, as we surveyed the half empty dining room. It was noticeable that the only two parties who spoke in English were seated in the same area outside the main dining room, furthest from the prized window over the St Lawrence. Interestingly, a Francophone gentleman arrived twenty minutes later, also without a reservation and was promptly seated by the window without any fuss. There were never less than three window tables available, the whole time we were there. Both the soup and the salad appetisers were unexceptional, except that the salad had some grit in it. The seafood risotto had clams, mussels, shrimp, bacon in it and was correctly al dente. The Confit du Canard was fine, with mushroom Papadelle. As my partner said "it is all right". The fruit sorbet and crème brûlée were standard, the first gave the impression that it was of commercial origin and the latter had hardly any crust. We were told "the tip is not included" loudly when presented with the bill.

The motel and little cabins are arranged around a central field that's like a private park, with a playground and fire pits, and all of this is on a cliff above the St. Laurence Seaway, so the view is stunning. We took one of the cottages; it was freshly remodeled, immaculate, and had wonderful windows and a front porch with chairs and a table. Families staying there could sit near the playground while the kids ran and played contentedly. People made a fire (free firewood) and sat and chatted until a little after dark. The woman at the desk is completely bilingual, knowledgeable, warm and personable. She recommended a perfect seafood restaurant on the water for a casual dinner. The night was quiet, and in the morning, watching the sun rise over the water while we drank coffee was peaceful and lovely.
