This hotel overcharged poor students, yelled at their clients, charged 200 dollars for a coffee break that had watered down coffee and NO tea NOR snacks and was so unfriendly in general that it was shocking. They also managed to have a wedding planned in the room next to our conference meeting...which resulted in no one really being happy (silent music for the wedding and still incredibly audible for us). We had a toilet leaking from the ceiling above and were then moved into a room that was pricier (how convenient). Another person in our group had to change rooms because of the incredible noise level and was then AGAIN charged way more than the additional price OR as it turns out even that their own webpage said they would charge. I usually never write reviews, but this needs to be said: If you can avoid this run-down memory of years of glory in the 50s, please do so!

After reading several scathing reviews on this site, I was a bit worried about what to expect at MG. The criticisms I had heard- unclean, noisy, terrible service all turned out to be untrue. To put my opinion in perspective, I can't tolerate shabbiness, moldy smells, peeling paint, broken bathroom tiles... Our room was pristine. I'm thinking that it, and the entire wing we were in may have been recently renovated. Other than on New Year's Eve, we didn't hear a peep from the rooms next to or above us. On NY's Eve, we heard just a bit while the hotel was nothing special, the price/location were right and it fit our needs. of noise, which stopped by a little past midnight. One can hardly complain about folks celebrating on NY Eve, and it didn't bother us at all. The swimming pool was unexpectly lovely, subtle lighting etc... (though the water was chilly). The service was fine. The front desk was unable to find our reservations for the special New Year's eve dinner, and it was fully booked, but they managed to find us a table any way. However, in retrospect, this may not have been such good fortune because- and here's my one criticism - some of the food was worse than mediocre. The dinner we ate our first night was okay, but the elaborate and expensive NY's eve buffet/banquet was awful. I shelled out $100 for barely edible food. Even my daughter, whose never met a dessert she didn't like, thought that the desserts (there were dozens of them, and believe me, she sampled every one) were terrible. While theMG is nothing special, the price/location were right and it fit our needs. My advice, stay at MG, but eat somewhere else. One more thing- if you stay at MG, you absolutely must go dog sledding, an amazing experience, and it's a 5 min walk from the hotel.

There are some good and some bad about this hotel, The good is the location, and suberb view from my room. Traveled with kids and the hotel as some nice facilities like an indoor pool, but the water is frozen, could not find any clean towels. The spa looks outdated and did not want to take a the chance. But the problems comes from the rooms, i was located in what they call the new section, but still looked outdated. things in the room are falling apart (closet, bathroom counter, mildew in the bath) and the beds are so hard its better to sleep on the floor. And the walls in these room are so thin you could hear everything going on in the rest of the hotel and this place is big!!! It look like the hotel management took the list of whats the minimum requirements for a 4 star and went shopping at the dollorama.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay, booking through Expedia.ca. We were 5 minutes to the town of St. Saveur but staying at Mont Gabriel reduced our cost nicely. We enjoyed the charming shops on the main street as well as the Factory Outlets. We found a great place for breakfast called Petit Poucet in Val David, & a second one in St. Saveur which was advertised in the hotel book. Both had wonderful rustic, wood beamed, theme with fireplaces. The food was delicious and the prices were not expensive. Everyone spoke both english/french. We enjoyed supper at Gibbys but the servings were too large for us. The whole area is a delight.
