Family vacation

We had two great rooms, the comfort we experienced was the best out of four hotels we stayed at during this travel trip. Indoor/outdoor pools, gym, restaurant and close to everything you can think of. The man at the front desk was so friendly and helpful and easy to joke with. Im going back next year and booking the same hotel.

Although this place looks a little dated, it was still a beautiful hotel. My girls and I stayed for 3 nights and all the staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay. My family and I don’t speak French and I was amazed at how bilingual everyone was, making it easy to communicate. The hotel is a quick walk from many attractions and also the metro, if you want to explore further. The restaurant on site was also delicious, I highly recommend.

Not much to do directly around but an amazing place to stay. Was here for a music festival staff were super accommodating and friendly even with our 1am arrival we were still greeted and helped. We had an amazing time the rooms were clean and custom temperature helped us after a long day at Osheaga. 10/10 will likely stay here next year as well
