One of two extremely reliable hotels that I've been at regularly over the past couple of years. This was formally known as Hotel Alpine, but was bought out by Quality Inn back in October 2013 when it was booming and doing successfully. The staff stayed on as well, so the service remains consistent.
The rooms on the ground level have electrical outlets by the motel door, so that you can plug in your block heater on those cold winter nights. Even better, Canadian Tire is right across the street if you need to fuel up or get your engine checked.
For food and drinks, there's a large resto-pub in the back of the building with a great atmosphere. In past years, this place used to be quick popular but has gotten quieter over the years. Still, there's an excellent selection of English 90's pop music, so you can still drink and stumble back to your room without needing a designated driver.
While the pasta dishes might not fill you up if you're feeling ravenous, the myriad of appetizers here, including 'les bâtonnets de fromage frits' (fried cheesesticks) and 'les rondelles d'oignon' (onion rings) are fairly decent. There's also a standard selection of beers, wines and mixed drinks.
Breakfast is included and is available on the main level. The usual fare - boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, muffins, yogurt - is available and if you're feeling adventurous, there's creton - Quebecois-style ground pork - to spread on your toast.
A solid hotel that's got everything right. read more
