Beautiful views, clean comfortable rooms. The breakfast buffet is amazing but not cheap. I will stay here again!

Pros: Spectacular sunset view of the St Lawrence, decent food at the outdoor bar, clean updated rooms, helpful staff. Cons: Awkwardly small bathrooms, tight parking just off the highway. This place served us very well as a one-night stop during a road trip.

We stayed in one of the river view rooms. Sadly, the weather was depressing to get a good view but we see the appeal. The room was very comfortable for our one-night stay in August. It was very clean & well-kept as a top rated hotel in RDL should be but there was a strong dog-like smell that was present from the moment we walked in. The bathroom was also clean but was so tight you practically had to stand in the shower to move around because the open floor space was practically nonexistent & the sink was outside the bathroom. I get it because, you are right in the path of the very heavy door (right in the doorway). That can be a bit weird in terms of privacy.

Once you're in you room, past all of these annoyances, you can hear, & not barely, you can really hear, your neighbour in the bathroom doing their business from not your bathroom, but in the sleeping area as well, so sound barriers could well be improved on too.

In terms of location & amenities, you had a couple restaurants on the property (very upscale for us-& expensive), & you are within a minute to the main highway (20; Rimouski or Montreal) & 10 minutes to the 85 (to New Brunswick). You also have a spa (additional cost), which is nice after a long drive all day, especially for us, after driving from Ontario. You really do get a lot on the size lot this is on, so that really is a plus.

Finally, when it comes to overall value for the money, it was not worth it for us & that may be different for you so check it out first on the website (you can do 360 room tours). For us, we're not sure we're coming back. Some things that are an amazing draw to the place include: 1) Location. 2) Amenities. 3) Clean & Comfy. That is down-pat. They could work on these: 1) Sound Proofing. 2) The Odors. 3) Room (especially the bathroom area thing) Layout. These are our biggest things, so check these out for yourselves if coming here.

There's also a lack of parking too, we couldn't find a space.

MY TAKE:
It was a nice stay, yet a few minor, yet unnecessary annoyances kept it from the perfect hotel it's rated to be.
