On our third day of travelling back from Cape breton, NS to Ontario..and after being on the road for eight hours already that day...my daughter and I came across this motel in Riviere-du-Loupe. We had booked earlier at the Comfort Inn by telephone but got out there and saw it was in an industrial area on the outskirts of town.... More

This motel is one of my favourite places I've ever stayed. The views of the St. Lawrence are AMAZING! And when they say Riviere-du-Loup has the "best sunsets in Canada", believe it. We watched the sun set below a stormy sky behind the mountains lining the St. Lawrence - all from the comfort of our room and our back patio!... More

Once again we picked our place to stay based on TA reviews. Once again we were not disappointed. The owners speak good English which is always a bit of a relief when trying to book accomodations over the phone. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and found our room to be clean, spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the... More

On our trip to Ontario we stayed here for one night. The personnel is very helpful, the rooms last equipped in the late 70's (?). The view to the Gulf of St. Lawrence is awesome, the swimming-pool was a welcome and unexpected extra. All-in all: good value for money A tip: there is an excellent french/italian restaurant nearby (2 min.... More

We stopped here on our way to Saint John, New Brunswick. We wanted to stop in Quebec but everything was booked and the places that still had rooms were charging $300/night!!! We drove on and asked two other places in Riviere du Loup (still full) then we found this motel!!! A really nice place!!! Clean, very friendly and reasonably priced!!... More

We were given the opportunity to look at 2 different rooms before deciding what would work best for us. Traveling with 2 kids, we opted for the one which had a separate bedroom although before we got there I was determined to have a room with a view. The rooms were clean and comfortable, certainly not too recently updated, but... More

When traveling, we much prefer to stay in smaller "mom & pop" places- older places with character. We came across this fab little motel at the end of a long day in which we'd ridden our motorcycles across New Brunswick into Quebec Province from Nova Scotia. We happened across this gem by accident, as we were looking for someplace else!... More

while the rooms are small and sparsely furnished, the beds were of good quality and the room was extraordinarily clean. The owners were very hospitable making certain that we were comfortable and helping us to park our car and trailer. Internet was not accessible from the room but was available in the office. Perfect for a evenings layover, but not... More
