Overall a great stay at Auberge Pique-nique! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to rest during our trip. Breakfast is served individually per person—includes bacon, eggs, and fresh fruit—it was well-proportioned and actually better than some standard continental breakfast.

Our stay was decent. Breakfast was nice and the room was clean. Points for improvement: One bedside lamp is broken and requires fixing. The bathtub is very slippery, please add a non‑slip mat. The duvet and pillows had an unpleasant smell. More thorough washing of bedding is recommended for upcoming guests.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The place was a bit of a surprise in that it was much bigger than anticipated, and very dated, and somewhat run down. The carpets and furniture in the room were vintage as was the decor, and I could not figure out how to work the television to get any programming. In addition, I was quite surprised that the staff on hand, did not speak French and only a bit of English. That said, the place seemed very clean and the bed was very comfortable and the surrounding relatively quiet.

From when we entered Auberge Pique nique we felt very welcomed. The young man at reception was so friendly and helpful and explained all that was included in our stay. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good, was pre determined breakfast. Everyone received 2 eggs , bacon some fruit all the toast you want and very good coffee. Over all enjoyed our stay reasonably priced and will return if in the area again.

This was a surprise. It was a bit of detour for us. Unbeatable price, a sense of elegance, very friendly staff and hot breakfast. We like it. Also recommend the Restaurant Palace and the other one by the river and iron bridge(forgot the name ).

We stayed here last minute and, while we’re used to higher-end hotels, we were pleasantly surprised. For the price, it was really not that bad. The staff were very friendly, and we’d most likely return in the future. If they were to invest a bit in the property, it could really become a great place. Also, there were quite a few good restaurants not too far from the motel, which was a nice bonus

Simple but good value

It was an older style Auberge but it was clean, easy parking and good breakfast. All with very friendly service at excellent prices. It’s certainly not luxury but it did its job well and we were very satisfied.

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.
