Gutes Motel, Ausgangspunkt für Whale-Watching

Super Location, wundervoller Ausblick auf die Bucht. Chalets gut ausgestattet, jedoch etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Frühstück auf Bestellung in Ordnung. Wlan in den Zimmern nicht oder fast nicht verfügbar, ausserhalb des Zimmers sehr gut.

Friendly staff & beautiful views

Motel le Vacancier is a great place to stay to explore the Tadoussac area. The staff are friendly and the location provides uninterrupted views of Baie Saint-Catherine and private beach access just a short drive & ferry ride from Tadoussac. We enjoyed our stay here.

Nous avons aimé l’accès au bord de l’ eau, à partir de la chambre... pour explorer avec les enfants! Le départ pour les baleines est à 2 min de la chambre, c’est moins achalandé qu’a Tadoussac... plus relaxe. On a bien dormi, les nuits sont fraîches! Petite épicerie (coop alimentaire) très près... plusieurs restaurants disponibles, celui du Vacancier est excellent! On a apprécié notre séjour en toute simplicité!

Charmant mais isolé !

La chambre est dans un petit ensemble en bord de mer avec une très jolie vue. Elle mériterait un petit rafraîchissement. Peu de choses à faire dans le coin excepté la balade pour observer les baleines sur le St Laurent dont le départ est à 5 minutes. Pas beaucoup de restaurants non plus et celui de l’hotel avait une carte très restreinte lors de notre passage.

Love this location. Motel is outdated but clean. The view from the back of the motel is absolutely breathtaking. They have a fire pit and chairs for your viewing of the ocean around the back. They also have steps taking you down to the beach. The restaurant is located at the first building which serves great breakfast. The only downside is that there is no air conditioning.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’endroit! Très bien situé, plage privé, et en plus, ils nous ont donnés un plus grand chalet pour avec nos enfants et avec une cuisinette. Le seul point négatif que j’ai a mentionner c'est que le plancher du chalet était considérablement croche. Mais rien de plus! Très bon service et personnel gentil!

Room overlooked the waterfront. Very clean and friendly staff. Decorating is a bit dated but pleasant enough. Door locks are stiff and maybe should be updated.
