Mauricie Mountain Holidays

Lovely 3 night weekend get away as a couple - hotel service was excellent - hotel beautiful - definitely will be back 💛

Overall, we had a very good stay, and the restaurant and bar were a major highlight. The restaurant/bar staff was outstanding. The cocktails were excellent, the team was genuinely friendly, and you could tell the bartenders took pride in their craft. The food was equally impressive — the salmon was exceptional. We enjoyed the experience so much that we went to the restaurant/bar all four nights of our stay. My only minor criticism is that service could be a little slow at times. The breakfast staff was just as impressive — extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Another great team. The one area where the hotel could improve is the front desk. We stayed for four nights and passed the desk many times coming and going. Even when we looked directly toward the staff, they rarely looked up or acknowledged us at all. A simple “good morning,” “welcome back,” or even eye contact would have made a difference. This was particularly noticeable because it was such a contrast to the warm hospitality we experienced at our hotel in Montreal. Overall, I really enjoyed the hotel, especially the restaurant, bar, and breakfast teams, and I would definitely stay here again. The front desk experience, however, did not match the otherwise excellent level of service and could benefit from some additional attention or training.

Kindness 10, Location 8, Capacity 0. Big changes from past reviews eg the valet parking is now $40 CAD, and there is no free breakfast. Fine but important to note. The new Bossino restaurant and adjacent cigar lounge seem to be the priority over hotel guests Bizarrely there is no clear entrance or exit from the hotel; we had to navigate the busy restaurant. At one point there was a fire alarm and we all had to evacuate THROUGH THE PACKED RESTAURANT. Uncomfortable and dangerous for anyone with mobility issues. The hallway on the second floor smelled powerfully of cigar smoke. Room 206 was spacious but looks out on garbage bins and an alleyway with delivery docks which was full of drunk loud people on Friday night (At 3am on Saturday the club below was so loud the bed shook). Even with earplugs this got to us. There was no housekeeping after a certain time so the first evening we had no towels or water and only one decaf coffee nespresso capsule. My son used the bath mat to dry off because towels were unavailable. Neither tv worked despite a long phone call to the company in French. We had a two bedroom set up (206) but a bizarre underbed light in the interior bedroom was difficult to turn off. When we succeeded the person in the second sitting room/“bedroom” was in pitch darkness. Even the front desk had difficulty. The finale was waiting 45 minutes post checkout for the valet to bring our car. The front desk gave us soda but please….do better or just give up the hotel piece.
