Facilities are clean and comfortable. The customer service is consistently over and above expectations. From the service in the coffee shop to the restaurant service and the Concierge (worth his weight in gold !) we truly felt welcomed and all our needs were met and surpassed. In the outdoor courtyard, without being asked, staff added wood to the outdoor wood stove for us, brought us marshmallows to roast and even brought cozy blankets. AWESOME ! Rest assured, our family group (12 ppl) will recommend your hotel to our friends and family.

“Hit and Miss”

First of all I understand that it may be hard to staff as your location is quite remote; Front desk staff 10/10, Valet service 10/10, restaurant staff 5/10. The Hostess in dining room - 0/10, I know when we went for dinner we had not had time to dress for dinner and we had casual clothes on but whe… more

First of all I understand that it may be hard to staff as your location is quite remote; Front desk staff 10/10, Valet service 10/10, restaurant staff 5/10. The Hostess in dining room - 0/10, I know when we went for dinner we had not had time to dress for dinner and we had casual clothes on but when she had the gall to ask if we were staying at the hotel before she gave us a table; seemed put out that we wanted a table immediately, since we had just driven 6 hours to get there I think she could use a sentence like "you must be tired from the drive let get you a table" instead we got " you want a table now? do you have a reservation? are you staying in the hotel?" By the way there were only 2 tables busy in the restaurant at the time. The first waiter made it clear that he didn't want to serve us and never came back; the next 2 servers were good. We had a suite room (222) and it was nice, only concern was the shower as the tub was very narrow and hard to turn around in. I understand it is an old hotel and removing these tubs would not be an option. Our convention went well and the staff during this event were excellent.

“Lovely classic hotel with some dining/bar issues”

We spent 2 nights at the hotel over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Positives were the attitude of the staff (especially the concierge who went out of his way to try to help us with a rental car mechanical failure (not surprisingly given the timing he was unsuccessful but he really tried!)) and the fabulous drone show on the Sunday night in the sky with the St Lawrence River as a backdrop. The one thing we found a challenge was the small size of the bar and dining areas (specifically the Bellerive and the lobby bar). I realize this is an issue with historic old hotels and that staffing is likely a challenge for them at this time of year but the wait to get a table for breakfast was very long and it was impossible to find seating for 4 in the lounge on Sunday afternoon (the young woman tending the bar in La Brise did her best but was getting slammed with orders from impatient guests). The overall experience was positive but I thought the issues with access to facilities needed to be noted.
