very nice hotel we had a room facing the water and a view of Perce Rock. We could walk to downtown Perce from our room. the hotel is fairly old but clean. I would stay there again. Breakfast was good and the staff friendly and helpful especially as our French speaking is pretty bad and we had no problem communicating

We stayed three days in this hotel, in an executive room, which indeed had wonderful views of the Rock, the island and the sea. However, an occasional cleaning of the windows would have helped a lot to improve the experience. The reception lady was not one of many words, except when it came to the services which are not longer offered. The lady which served during the breakfast was a lot more forthcoming. The breakfast was one of the simple kind: pre-cooked coffee, small selection of tea, melon, grapes and orange wedges, selection of yogurts, egg, potato and sausage, and simple muffins. Interestingly, the bread was next to the toaster and it were just breads as you buy them in the closest super market, packed in their plastic bag. All breakfast guests had to wiggle their hands into the bag to get a slice out. Though, on the other hand, there was no room service as per some Covid regulations? But having everyone put their hands in the bread-bag is ok? By the way, the breakfast pictures on the website showing strawberries, other berries, a croissant etc. are far from correct. There is no restaurant in the venue, except for breakfast, and the place is about 1-2 Km from Percé down-town where all the good restaurants are. There is WiFi in the hotel and rooms, but in our case, when sitting on the elevated area of the executive room, the wireless was so weak that frequent disconnects were common. The building is indeed quint and would certainly profit from a renovation. However, we slept very well in the beds. Cleanness was kind of ok, could have been better. Next time around, I would opt for some of the venues which are certainly closer to the village. Walls were thin, neighbors were easily heard.

Beautiful location and very friendly staff but the rooms and the complete building are a lot below average. With every step what you do you hear the wood squishing . And you hear every thing from the rooms around you .

We found exactly what we expected. This is not a chic hotel. What is does offer is a clean, spacious room and bathroom with a spectacular view of the glorious roche Perce, the rock with the hole in it. We arrived, had a beer on the terrace, and found our second floor room with ceiling fan, excellent bathroom and two chairs on a private balcony overlooking the spectacular pierced rock. Breakfast included tomorrow morning.

We spent a couple nights at this hotel and loved the view and location. Staff was friendly and I bumped into the owners who were really nice people. The rooms are rustic and roomy. Free breakfast included and their covid practices are great. The bathrooms and towels could use a refresh, but everything was clean and we had no problems other than a lack of parking spaces.

Stayed there last week. Never again. Yes, the view of Percé’ Rock is glorious, but all the hotels have basically the same view. A twenty minute walk from town, up a steep hill, with no sidewalk most of the way and heavy traffic ! Bedding was fine , but configuration of the room is insane. Bathroom in front and beds tucked away in back, away from the view. Cardboard cups for the coffee, flimsy plastic cups for water. At that price, there should have been ceramic mugs and glassware....... mm including wine glasses. Apparently because of Covid , breakfast was served in a paper bag, to take back to one’s room. How strange; all the restaurants in Percé ’ are open and raring for business??? Why can’t Cote Surprise serve breakfast ?? I circumvented the Gaspe’ and never paid more than $ 140. For FAR nicer hotels. $ 276.00 ? Give me a break ! Highway robbery !

Hôtel La côte surprise was our third stop on our Gaspésie road trip in early July. We booked pretty last-minute before leaving for our trip (a week or so ahead), since Covid kind of threw off a lot of people's original summer vacation plans, including ours, so our choices for Percé accomodations wasn't exactly abundant. This hotel appeared to have favourable views of the famous rock, and considering you are in Gaspésie's most famous town, the price point was acceptable... And oh dear, what a view it had! It's this place's best asset, and it would appear the ownership/management knows it. Sitting on the balcony, watching the sunset with a glass of wine is one very pleasant activity you may do here, or eating your styrofoam packed breakfast (more on that later...) I had read many of the less favourable reviews prior to leaving about the condition of the place, some of the staff, etc. I agree with most of them. Even prior to arrival, when I booked it directly on their website, I inquired if they could contact me should a room with 2 beds become available through a cancellation. I got a reply back saying "we are sold out of rooms with 2 beds". Thanks... I realized you were, otherwise I would've booked one. I was just asking if they did become available. Anyway, so much for customer service. The check-in process was fine, with the gentleman manning the desk at night being quite nice. He explained we had to pick our breakfast the night before during a time slot, told us which building our room was in, all of this with proper sanitation measures in place. The room was as everyone else described them. Older but clean. It has that old cottage feeling with all the wood, which isn't a bad thing. The carpeted area around the bed is ancient. The furniture is very much from the 90s, perhaps 80s even. The curtain covering the entry door was falling off its railing, so I put it back as the hooks were still there. Overall, you can clearly see the rooms could use TLC sooner than later. I can confirm the walls are cardboard. Wish for quiet neighbours. Ours were, except for the showers they took where we heard every word of the conversation...The bed has a washable white duvet which was appreciated during these pandemic times. Mattress was comfortable enough, but no more. They should be replaced again sooner than later. Pillows flat as a pancake. BYO. Bathroom had a relatively new and clean soaker tub and a good hair dryer. There is a mini-fridge and sort of a vanity that must have once served as a kitchenette. Breakfast was delivered on time directly to your room, but in styrofoam containers (unfortunate they're still even legally allowed to use those in 2020), and my "chocolate banana" waffle had a drizzle of chocolate and I'd say about 1/4 of a banana sliced so thinly, it would have made Québec folklore figure Séraphin Poudrier proud. The dining room was closed because of Covid. Only the reception desk was accessible in the main building. So to conclude, I'm sure there are better options if you're looking for more up-to-date accomodations in Percé, but because of their location on a hill, you'll never get the view from other properties. That's a fine piece of real estate whoever first built this got, and this is what you pay for. It's clean, it's comfortable enough for a night (or two), and frankly, I personally had no issues with the in person service, as the lady who checked us out also steered us the right way for the ferry service to the island. However, don't expect anything more than average. You are captive in a touristy town where hotel/motel owners know that they don't have to go the extra mile or provide anything exceptional, because people will still come. This hotel is a good example of that.

The second floor queen room that we occupied was a nice room; comfortable bed/linens/pillows, perfectly serviceable bathroom and well cleaned. The morning front desk staff and manager were unfortunately very rude and unreasonable. I had asked the evening before about bringing our French press to the lobby and using some hot water for our own coffee because we are not fans of the commonly used houtte coffee in this area, and she had told us it would not be a problem. In the morning, after we had filled the press with water in the lobby, the front desk staff told us we couldn't do that, she got the manager and she, in a very inhospitable way, told us that it was against the LAW for them to allow food and drinks other than what they brought in to the establishment. This is of course is untrue and, contrary to what most people regard as good practice for a business in the hospitality sector. The manager was close to throwing myself and my pregnant wife out of the dining room because of her ridiculous ego. Based upon this heated exchange i will never be giving this hotel my business again and i would suggest to the owners that they replace their current manager to avoid similar problems in future.
