The Comfort Inn in Shawinigan is a newer hotel, very nice accomodations in a nice setting on the slight outskirts of town. The room was a very spacious suite, with a sitting room wit a couch and a bedroom off of that, as seen in the photos. The bathroom was really big too, with nice lighting and plenty of space. The breakfast buffet was decent - nothing too special, but a nice selection of grains, dairy and juices. I honestly can't remember if they offered eggs and meats.
Just off the parking lot is a nice overview of the river and trees.
Shawinigan is a small city in rural Qebec that has a couple of downtown streets with some restaurants and bars. We ate at the Le Trou du Diable (The Devil's Hole) named after a dangerous stretch of rapids on the river near the town. The food and house-made beers were excellent, and the restaurant itseld was very cool!
You've got a few choices in the area. I stayed at the Gouvernor once too, and that was a little more convenient to the downtown area, but not as nice as the Comfort Inn.
