The hotel is next part of a convention centre complex and situated close to where two major autoroutes (20 & 85) intersect; so good location if you are planning to travel further into Gaspé or turn south to the Maritimes. But it also means that hotel location is not situated in particularly attractive part of Rivière-du-Loup. The staff are friendly and courteous in both French and English; there is ample parking (including charging stations); and the room we stayed in was clean, tidy, and quiet. The AC was excellent and quiet. There is room service and a restaurant on the premises; the hotel restaurant appeared to be popular with both hotel guests and locals; several large family and friend gatherings were taking place in the restaurant and in the hotel's private dining rooms just off from restaurant. The restaurant service was good; the food arrived quickly (in spite of the large numbers being served) and was in line with my expectations. Decent, but not especially memorable. The restaurant, because it was so busy, was excessively noisy; we both wished that we had opted for room service instead. Because of an unexpected change in vacation plans, we ended staying on a Saturday night -- instead of midweek as we had originally planned. That meant that the rate was almost twice as much as the rate we paid for a comparable hotel room in Québec City. We still recommend the hotel because it was clean and quiet and conveniently located

Hotel was easy to check-in to, short walk from parking lot. Arcade in the basement was a nice find. Didn't try the restaurant, but there weren't many restaurants nearby and nothing around that's walkable. Room was dated, and smelled of chlorine/chemicals. Lots of chipped tile, outdated/broken furnishing. Bed wasn't super comfortable. Pool was not bad, 4 ft deep. Water slide was a joke, rocked all over the place when kids went down. Hot tub was a 'cold tub' with jets? Overall I'd say below average hotel compared to like a Best Western or other big name.

This hotel is highly overrated for the price. For $330 per night I expect way more. The hot tub was cold, myself and other guests were calling it the “disappointment tub”. The shower in my room had a slow drain causing water to pool up around my ankles (gross) and the shower rod was so rusted that the curtain had trouble sliding. Staff were generally pretty grumpy and the hotel, while newly renovated, was quite worn down behind the fresh veneer. At $160 a night this might be ok but not at 330.

Initially, the property's images heightened anticipation, but upon arrival, the hotel's appearance fell short of expectations, revealing an older property with merely superficial updates. The cost seemed excessive, and as a non-French speaker, I experienced a lack of welcome, leading to feelings of exclusion. Although the restaurant appeared appealing, the dining experience was marred by discomfort due to language barriers with the manager, who needed assistance to communicate in English. The service was slow, and despite the manager's role, our order was taken by a waitress after an extended wait. The food was exceptional, but the service was subpar, leaving us feeling like outsiders due to our language difference. I will not return to this hotel or restaurant.
