Très propre mais un seul choix de repas ( un café, deux oeufs, bacon et un pain ). Aussi, un seul employé pour servir toute l’auberge au déjeuner et comme un seul choix de repas, il amène l’assiette sans que tu l’aies demander et aucune modification ne peut être faite car il n’ont rien d’autres.

At first we tried to cancel our reservation (after arrival) because from the outside the Auberge MOTEL looks like an ordinary run-down Motel. Then we saw the room it was clean. The breakfast is poor I asked for cereals and got them for small Kids with chocolate. The air conditioner is loud. Its good for one night stay-overs. But we will never go back there. We are both old age 82 and 86. We travelled the world and stayed most in much better places. The garden view is near the Highway 55 one can hear the cars. Some garden stairs are broken.

Le plancher était très collant. Peut-être à cause de la pluie et/ou manque de rinçage après un lavage ??? Mais, somme toute, c'était quand même acceptable pour le prix. Merci.

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 ).
