Detailed Reviews
Well the motel looked clean and pretty nice, but there were some good things about it and some bad things. My fiance and I rented a suite after a formal evening. Well when we first checked the place out they told us that it was alright if one person was a few months away from being 18 (after all they do except kids), but when we called the day we would be staying there and wanted to clarify our reservation, they told us that we weren't allowed to rent the room after we paid for it because one of us was under 18! We had to say we were married before getting the room! When we got there the room looked exactly like it did in the picture we saw, but pictures aren't the best thing to judge by. The hot tub wouldn't drain after we used it and there were no clear instructions on how half the luxuries in the room worked (we had to figure it out our selves, and hot tub stayed full all night). The shower was terrible and we had to wipe the floor with towels, i also found a weird bug on one of them (not a bedbug it was much bigger but light brown). The hair dryer kept shutting off on me and sparked at some point (fire hazard) and i had to go to bed with wet hair. We called the front desk for our free whine and when the girl showed up she was gave us both dirty looks and just handed us the bottle (Staff wasn't the best). And to top it all off the whine sucked! I had half a glass and felt sick afterwards also had a fake lock on the door. There was a weird from the AC which pretty much made us stay up all night!Wasn't worth $195 a night. But i must say that the beds were comfortable (made of rubber but comfortable) and the breakfast was simple but ok. Still for a suite i expected more, if this is the quality of the suite i can only imagine what standard rooms are like.

The motel idea name is completely deceiving!
The beds were too stiff on my back and I was sore the next day. This place could be updated and the breakfast could be improved. I would go to Mcdonalds down the road and get a much better value.

Took a regular room for one night. The location was convenient for my needs but will not be coming back. No extra pillows (those provided are thin and need to be replaced). No bath towels only small and hand towels. A lot of clients seem to be there only for a few hours...

I had to find a hotel room (2 queen beds) very last minute, close too a hospital in Montreal. What I found was too expensive or two cheap with bad reviews. When I call this motel I found it was a bit expensive, until we arrive there, wow! We where suprized. I'm not sure if they are newly renovated or just well kept but it was worth it. They had a continental breakfast included in the price. It's rated 3 star with Quebec hotel association, it should be more. Will definitely return. They only thing they should include in each room is maybe a floor Matt when you enter the room. We had snowy boots and the floor was wet. My dad put a towels on the floor so we don't have to walk on the melted snow, when we needed to go to the Washroom.

We tried one of the suites. The room is awesome!!! It's super clean and very romantic. It's close to the metro and buses and parking is free. You can reach the entire city then. The room we had was so perfect.
I knew at last that it was a smoking room and I was scared since I'm not smoking. The one taking reservation said he took note and would make sure it doesn't smell so much. It was perfect. Not really smelling it. The room was at the perfect temperature.
Here are the downsides: First it's easy to hear the sounds in the hallway next to the room. During the night there was a lot of noise in the hallway. It also seems regular that people go take "naps" there.
I wouldn't recommend to couples wanting a relax, peacefull and romantic stay.
I put poor value as there is a poor breakfast and would expect a saner environment for that price.

When I got to the motel it looked okay-not the best looking place in the world but okay. I stayed there for a couple of days and the morning when I was leaving I found out that I got bedbugs. There was bumps all over my skin and face and it was just horrible. Every time I slept on the bed I kept on itching right away but I just ignored it. I told the workers over there to spray my room and check my bed but they never did. And the breakfast situation is a joke. Don't waste your time eating bread and juice just go ahead and buy some McDonald's down the block.

I love the service here, they are always really friendly when they see me. I also love that you can still have a smoking room. Its really awesome not to have to go outside. I visit this place often, its always clean and we love the smoking suite with the Jacuzzi. Its my favourite home away from home.

I stayed at this location in October of 2018, after booking online. To be fair, I'll list pro's first : Clean, modern room, hot water in shower, functioning A/C and heat
Cons : Unfriendly reception personnel, $200.00 deposit on non-smoking room at check in (not advertised), no coffee maker in room, no paper or pen, no iron (called for one and was told someone else had it and no effort made to offer to get it later), 1 token for really bad coffee per day in lobby or breakfast area, only 1 key per room (so if you go out and your spouse stays in room, you can't get back into building to knock on your room door), bedspread extremely thin, pillow paper thin, plug by bedside under a floating table (accident waiting to happen), no variety at breakfast (same thing everyday), no Bible for those who are used to having one in room
