Liked: Staff & service
The check in was simple. The attendant was very nice. Easy to find. Lots of dining in the area. However the outlets were limited, the toilet paper roll was empty (had to replace myself), I had to plug in the window shaker television myself, the grounds around the building need some clean up and the parking lot was rough.

23-24th December lodging

It was fine, but the first night horrible there was a couple fighting not manners at all… the worst was that the problem was not handle at all until the next day. So not resting at all. Nice homey breakfast included, very appreciated and front desk lady helpful and gentle. Room clean bed comfortable view to the garden. Parking outside the room. 2 doors access to the room. 1 interior and de other to the parking lot / garden. They must pay attention having the boiling water machine clean and the microwave.

I arrived to the property at 10pm and there was no one on site. I had to book another place at time at that time then come back the next day. It says that check in time was available until 11:30pm. Besides that, staff was good when I arrived

Liked: Cleanliness
Everything is fine, decor is a littly funcky, but clean. The staff didn't speak french which could be an issue with some custumors.. The front office has limited hours, there was no coffee maker in the room, and the front office was closed (sunday 8am) when I tried to walk by to get coffee there. They should have an area open 24/24 for small comodities (like coffee....) if they don't want to be there all the time.

Not an Auberge at all, it's a motel from the 70's next to the highway, in dire need of renovations. For the same price you can have a brand new room at the Delta in Trois-Rivières. Definitely not worth the price asked. Very disappointing. Staff was pleasant enough but not enough to make up for the overall poor condition of the motel.

Dans la chambre, forte odeur d’un mauvais « parfum » qui sert clairement à camoufler une autre vieille odeur; draps tachés (ou sales?); une débarbouillette déjà utilisée laissée sur la pôle à rideau de douche et sans parler qu’on a vu une grosse bestiole noire se sauver dessous le mur à 2 reprises en ouvrant la lumière de la salle de bain! Et sur une note moins grave, pas de cafetière, ni de commodités tel que shampooing, conditionneur, casque de douche… Bref! Atroce.
