We travel frequently in 100$ a night hotels and know what to expect. We chose to stay at this hotel while visiting Lac St-Jean because of the picture of the swimming pool and the positive reviews. As soon as we came in we got a sour feeling. There was such a strong smell of cigarettes by the first floor elevator that we decided to take the elevator by the second floor. The room was quite ugly (stucco on the walls, very old looking carpet... and the beds were extremely hard (springs we poking through the mattress). There was also very little water coming from the shower so it was quite difficult to rinse yourself. We asked to change room because we knew that sleeping would be difficult but the man at the front desk did not know if there was any room with newer beds.

The restaurant was very expensive, so we decided to eat out.

There is only one elevatore for the whole hotel and the housekeeping service uses it constantly so if you are lucky enough to get the elevator you have to share it with a large loundry cart.

We were in bed wondering how we would be able to sleep on these uncomfortable beds, when we saw someone running by our sliding door. Since our sliding door was opening on the roof of the hotel, we had kept our curtains open, so you can imagine our surprise to see someone out there. We phoned the front desk who suggested that it was the wind... But my husband had seen a man running outside. We made sure that the sliding door was locked and the curtains closed.

The pool was fine, nothing special but fine; it was however quite strage to have some roomes with their sliding doors opening on the swimming pool; so, when you are swimming, you see the inside of these bedrooms...

We were very disappointed with our stay. This was not a business trip, it was a cute family and we did not expect a smelly, dirty and uncomfortable stay. If we come back to Chicoutimi, we will choose a different hotel.

I stayed in this hotla after finding it on the internet, they had a great site.
My wife and I were doing a trip accross Quebec for a few weeks and stayed at this hotel....
We stayed two nights, we had the chance to watch a show, a tribute to Abba which was just fantastic. The size of the room, the accoustics and stage were breath taking!
The hotel also has an amazing pool, two whirlpools and a sauna, perfect place to relax after a day of motorcycle around lac st-jean...
We tried the hotel restaurant for breakfast, the food was very good, I recomend the brunch!
Overall an awesome stay, close from all the attractions and shoping too...
Thank you for the stay

I visited this hotel with my children in July.. We had a full itinerary planned in the region and this hotel was really central for all that we wanted to see and do.
The front desk was very helpfull and understanding of a single mother traveling with 2 kids.
The rooms were spacious, clean and the bed very comfortable
This hotel really made our stay in the region and provided us with great memories!

I will be sleeping upright tonight. Just checked in, and was so shocked, my husband had to remind me to close my mouth. Rated 4 star? I wouldn't give it 1. The minute you walk in, you feel you are stuck in a time warp. It has a cabaret sign outside. Pool nothing like the pics. Hair on the toilet seat, hair on the sheets. Sleazy. I want to cry :(
