Guest Reviews

• Guest (4/5): -
• Pigeon (10/5): -
• Gilles (5/5): - Linge de toilette et lit propre En entrant dans le logement, des odeurs d'humidité, cigarettes ou fumée, très désagréable. Traces d'humidité au plafond.
• pascal (2/5): -
• ERIKA (4/5): - Cheap and pet friendly. AC. Lots of parking
• Rousseau (7/5): Hébergement - L accueille Air climatisé arrêté par temps chaud obligé de la partir en arrivant donc long a refroidir
• Jean (4/5): - Le propriétaire de l'établissement qui reçoit sa clientèle au comptoir d'enregistrement ne parle ni ne comprend le français ce qui dans la province de Québec est un très grand manque de respect.
• Adrian (6/5): - It was a bed for the night
• Peters (4/5): Dirty - The location was great. The bathroom, linens (bathroom towels) and beds (including comforters), and room curtains clearly hadn't been cleaned well in a very long time. The shower had a bunch of hair. My bedding had weird stains and smelled bad. It was gross. There was also a ton of black mold in the AC, rendering it unusable despite the heat. The room smelled of cigarette smoke, which didn't help. The ceiling tiles were stained by water damage throughout, making it look quite dingy. If it had been clean, the room would have been significantly more pleasant to stay in, as it was well located, the staff was kind, and the room was spacious. But the dirtiness ruined our stay.
• simona (9/5): - Stanza immensa, con un bel bagno, parcheggio davanti alla camera gratuito
• Chris (4/5): - Nice owner. Very friendly. But the property is in serious disrepair. Bed is comfortable. Bed was clean, but room is in rough shape.
• Klaus (8/5): - Alles okay
• David (8/5): Good stay would stay again and recommend to others. - No breakfast was provided. I liked the laid-back atmosphere. Backed on the St Lawrence River, quiet at night, outside facilities available to patrons. ie, benches, swing seats, gazebo, and fire pit. Interaction with other patrons and staff was something not found in hotels. No bed bugs, no night crawlers, it was clean, you could walk across the floor in bare feet without feeling grit. Yes, it is outdated, maybe it could use some paint here and there, but the bed was comfortable. you could open the window at night and be comfortable without running the AC all night. I liked this Motel and would recommend it. The staff had trouble with both French and English, but we managed ok. I had to ask for toilet paper when mine ran out. And, had to ask for clean towels.
• Julie (5/5): - The owners were very nice and helpful So outdated. Cleanseness not good
• Pierre (5/5): -
• Touré (2/5): -
• Stéphane (8/5): - Il a lpas de verre.
• Jean (4/5): - Douche mal propre.Pas de Francais a l'acceuil.
• Shubham (2/5): - Worst property i have had stayed at.
• Melissa (6/5): - The staff were friendly and welcoming
• Rousseau (8/5): -
• Veronic (8/5): Décor féerique - L'emplacement sur le bord du fleuve vraiment féerique de voir des paquebots de la terrasse privé de la chambre. La suite était vraiment bien, beaucoup espace Partager 1 rouleau de papier hygienique pour les 2 salles de bain, 2 serviettes pour 3 personnes, cafetière et télévision non fonctionnelle.
• Alain (6/5): - Chambre a peine propre, odeur de renfermé. Seul point positif, le lit étais propre et de bonne qualité
• David (6/5): - Ce n’était pas cher, mais pas très propre…
• Michel (6/5): - If need a place to stay at a low rate you can not go wrong.
• Carole (4/5): - Manque d entretien extérieur. Contour de bain insoluble. Pas de rouleaux de papier toilette en surplus. Vieile odeur de cigarettes. Bonmatelas endroit tranquille. Piscine propre
• Remi (9/5): Superb - The owners were very friendly and ready to help with your needs l
• Monique (5/5): Passable - My husband and I stayed at Motel Le Charentais during a biking trip. It was the only choice available in the area, so I called ahead and clearly asked for a clean, smoke-free room, especially after reading some negative reviews. While the motel is old and could benefit from better upkeep and more professional management, our room was acceptable for the price. The staff was genuinely kind and accommodating—they even offered us a complimentary beer and provided a coffee machine for our room. Overall, despite its limitations, it served its purpose and we left satisfied with our stay.
• Timothy (1/5): Do not stay here ! The owner is a horrible person ! - Absolutely nothing ! Filthy not at all what’s represented in the pictures! Disgusting beyond , dead bugs everywhere inside the room , floors were flithy , owners were aggressive and tried to blame us for damage to the parking lot after having cars flying around it all night as well as police !
• Karen (2/5): - It was a somewhat run down. Once I checked in I went with my sister and granddaughter to the room it was musty, The refrigerator was scratched dirty and honestly appeared to have been picked up as a roadside find. The bath was dirty with urine around the toilet and hair on the floor.
• Robert (4/5): - The owner does not speak French, speak chinois the place is very old, smells of mold, there is no phone in the room, there is no water glas in the bathroom, television only basic channels. I do not recommend
• Jocelind (1/5): Bad - Unsafe. Had to leave.
• Chiappetta (1/5): Bad -
• Charles (2/5): - Poor
• Annie (4/5): Will not recommend because of bed bugs. - Location, friendly staff, large room, wooden wall, high ceiling and wide windows make the room feel cozy. Bed bugs!!! And the room wasn’t heated (it was in March) upon arrival and the heating plates weren’t enough to heat the entire room and toilet for the night. This motel was definitely not suited to be opened in winter. Missing too much insulation. You can also hear tenants talking in adjacent rooms. Outdated furnitures.
• Mary (8/5): Very good - Beautiful park like setting. Spacious room, comfortable bed and lots of counter space in the bathroom. Wifi was difficult for me in my room but could have been a problem with my own phone.
• Mary (9/5): Superb - Great place with beautiful surroundings. Owner was out cutting the lawn and very lovely friendly.chats. Super place for my dog with a park like setting. Lots of hot water, spacious bathroom and cozy room.Just the way I like it. Some difficulty verifying my reservasian as phone answering machine was full.
• Ehatasham (9/5): Superb -
• Marc (4/5): Disappointed by the condition of my room - Near the water, staff working hard on cleaning the grounds Room was damp and cold at arrival, many wet ceiling tiles, slightly moldy smell, hole in bathroom door, some bugs in the room.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Not for every nose - I’v never been in a motel more filthy… Sorry but can’t, in all concience, recommend that place unless you’re sense of smell is non-existant…
• Brian (6/5): - Oldstyle motel, olde buildings in need of an update. Limited power outlets none in bathroom.
• Mike (8/5): Very good -
• Joanne (2/5): - Pas de chauffage adéquat
• Pierre (8/5): - correct
• Yolande (6/5): - Pas de verre. Aucun chauffage à notre arrivée. Plancher de la salle de bain sale. Petite bouteille de shampooing à moitié. Trous dans les draps.
• Jonathan (2/5): - J’ai jamais vue une place pas propre comme ça je dormirai pas la l’odeur horrible la tenu des lieux exécrable ma pire place a vie un beau 90$ jeté au poubelle avec 3 enfants bref l’enfer
• idris (2/5): nightmare - awfull
• JP (8/5): - Bel emplacement. Beau motel rustique style années 60 mais aurait besoin de quelques rénovations pour le remettre plus attrayant. Mais c'est probablement l'état actuel qui permet d'avoir une chambre correcte pour vraiment moins cher qu'ailleurs.
• Blair (10/5): - Very good value! Clean room, comfortable bed, lots of hot water. Fridge and microwave was a bonus. Very picturesque location by the riverside.
• Memon (5/5): Passable -
• Claude (6/5): Pleasant -
• Rene (4/5): - Is not to clean!is very poor. Sory
• Brigitte (4/5): - Site charmant avec du potentiel extraordinaire mais tristement devenu MITEUX au fil des décennies. Donc correct malgré le prix. Minimum de serviettes, un petit savon en shampoo., raiseaux internet non fonctionnel
• Michelle (2/5): Very poor - Price was ok The room smelled bad was dirty and moist in room air conditioner wasn't working
• Kim (8/5): - Grass needed cutting and access to river was limited
• Romanita (1/5): Beyond disappointing - The motel is in a very very very poor state. The bed was not clean, the sheets were not changed, they had hair and stains. Everything seemed to fall apart. There was dust. I was shocked with the level of hygiene and wanted to leave but it was too late that day to drive in the night. Cleanliness
• Michael (5/5): Ghetto charm - nice location by the water Rundown and needs a good cleaning. Not family friendly.
• Timothy (1/5): Too filthy and dangerous to stay we left. - NOTHING - Filthy, wires exposed, cracked floors, bad odour, stains, unreasonable pricing for quality of installation and no professionalism. We paid went to the room and left. Everything.
• Geneviève (10/5): - Belle emplacement sur le bord du fleuve. Chambre vieillot mais propre et confortable. Belle piscine et tranquille.
• Cayleigh (4/5): - Unfortunately I would not stay here again. The property is tired and not kept up. We arrived after 4pm and they were still cleaning our room, so we had to wait and then the floor was wet when we got in. Key jammed in the door, room smelled of smoke, pool is so murky you can’t see the bottom and has weeds growing around the sides. You can hardly get in the gate to the pool because it is so overgrown. I don’t mind the dated decor- that is as expected- but the general sense of dilapidation- and the smoke smell- left me googling to see if there were any other hotels we could move to.
• Lynn (6/5): Needs TLC. - We had read prior reviews of the motel before booking it, so we had an idea what to expect. The motel in general, including the room, is rundown, and is in need of a lot of TLC. Quite outdated.It does allow dogs, which is why we chose it. In the Hotels.com website that we booked through, it stated the room had a kitchenette,but we were told, no, the room does not. The neighborhood surrounding the motel is very nice, with lovely, well-kept homes and gardens, so we enjoyed walking the dog around there.
• Robert (1/5): I wouldn’t stay there again if you paid me to. - Nothing. It was old, dirty, and poorly equipped. At first, I was offered a room but the sink and the toilet didn’t work - staff asked if that would be a problem?! I had to insist before I was offered another room - this one with half the lightbulbs missing, no towels, and no soap; it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks.
• Joana Marie (10/5): - The overall experience is great considering the price. The owners are very welcoming and helpful. The place looks a bit old fashioned but what I love best is the hospitality , feel safe that I can sleep good at night because of the nice neighbourhood. There is a clean and nice swimming pool available and the lake view is amazing!
• Soliman (6/5): Needs deep cleaning to be habitable - All appliances were so old but they were working fine. not clean. I found 2 spiders and a cockroach hanging out in the tub the first day . The ceiling and walls were covered with cobwebs. Pretty sure the bedsheets were last changed ages before my check in.
• Steve (1/5): A Total Disgrace and Ripoff - Nothing. The booking was shady! The advertisement totally wrong and misleading! The host very ghoulish. The room dirty, the bedsheets had crumbs and dirt between the sheets. No coffee/ tea/ glasses/ condiments. The tv did not work. A dog was barking mistreated and left tied up outside a neighbouring room. The shampoo bottle had been used. Continued below All of the above, plus we selled smoke from other rooms. There seemed like drug deals going around the building. People running around here and there through the night. We had to leave at 330 a.m. because we couldnt sleep there. Too hot and dirty and a shady atmosphere. This was the worst way to complete our vacation. We would like a full refund of our money as soon as possible as we were royally ripped off. Thank you. You should stop advertising this place. It is false advertising.
• Bonnie (2/5): - The window was broken. The bathroom had no door and in place a filthy fabric curtain. There was filth and mould under the bathroom sink. The shampoo had already been used. And the facility was generally very poorly maintained. I would never recommend this, in fact, believe I should receive a refund
• Chenna (1/5): Bad -
• LIANG (10/5): - The owners of the motel are a couple and they are very nice, kind, helpful. The motel is located very well. It is just on the bank of the Lourence river and has beautiful views. It is good option of accommodation between Montreal and quebec City. It is recommended.
• Pierrette (2/5): - Ça ne vaut pas le prix
• Michael (1/5): This chalet is a slum on a fabulous site in an upmarket residential area. Avoid it! - The location Thé stairs lack a handrail, making them a safety hazard. The window screens were torn or missing, thus mosquitoes were plentiful. A noisy air conditioner in just one bedroom. The fridge was filthy, and I mean really filthy! No glasses, cups, or cutlery. Awful lighting. No curtains in bedrooms. This property should not be listed by Booking.com.
• Athul (7/5): Good -
• Olivier (2/5): - Lieu mal entretenu avec des cheveux sur les draps, des fils d’araignée sur le plafond, toilette mal laver, détecteur de fumée manquant…
• Clarke (7/5): Good - It was a fine example of rustic accomodation. I enjoyed being close to the St. Lawrence
• Wayne (1/5): this facility / motel should be removed from Booking,com - Worst place we have ever stayed. There were no towels, soap or toilet tissue in the room when we arrived , the floor had not been cleaned and the screens were broke or missing. There were no smoke detectors. there was nothing to like about the physical building!
• Stefano (1/5): Bad - Nothing this structure cannot be on booking
• Peter (1/5): Nothing worked and owner has no idea what he is doing. - Nothing. This place should be condemned. Everything. This place should have been shut down years ago.
• Stéphane (4/5): Fair for a 1 night stay - The room was very big with high ceiling and clean...All I needed for one night stay and close to the golf course I was playing early. The missing towels that the staff never gave us abd the faint smell of smoke in the non-smoking room
• Jacobs (1/5): Bad - The view This property needs to be investigated by public health and safety in quebec.
• Andre (1/5): I would never book a room there again. First and last time - Nothing It was dirty
• Francois (1/5): FEAR OF DEATH - That was by far the worst hotel I have ever rented. I leterally had to leave the place upon check-in being worried about my safety. There was drug dealer/hooker is the next room. I could see that man looming around me everything!
• Mezyan (1/5): Bad -
• Stephan (4/5): - Service was difficult and slow. The kitchen stove was dirty. The wall are not sound proof at all you can hear people talking in other room.
• Bikash (2/5): - The room was not cleaned for a very long time and it is full of cobwebs, spiders, flies, and more. The floor and tables were covered in dust and the water smelled bad. There were no amenities; no towels, barely any soap, nothing. The bed is creaky and on rolling wheels which causes it to move. The windowsills are full of dead flies and further cobwebs. Everyone that was in the motel all seemed to be crazy. The only good thing is that the owner tried his best and was respectful. Outside View was nice and quiet.
• Carole (2/5): - We found a dirty sock next to the bed. Shower curtain had black mold at the bottom. Lamp shade had stains, A/C was dirty, shower wall had some hair. Spiders webs at the door and in side of the room ceiling. Bedroom curtains were barely holding on. It must have been a nice place years ago. Can barely see the motel from the road , when you see the sign you think it’s close for a long time
• FALGUNKUMAR (2/5): - I won't recommend this Motel, We are booked for 4 people and they provided only 1 towel. Cat hairs on bed. Expedia please don't consider this Motel as Family Friendly.
• robert (8/5): - bathroom floor has one foot square hole with missing tiles , 2 inches deep
• Andre (2/5): - Everything
• Marie-Josée (2/5): - Draps sales avec déchets,toiles d'araignée,fenêtres-air climatisé-abats jour sales. Brassières traînant dans le stationnement. Aucunes serviettes ou debarnouillettes
• Coralie (4/5): - Nous sommes reconnaissants d’avoir pu trouver une chambre vu la température extérieure, par contre ce n’est pas très propre, les installations sont vieilles aussi ce qui ne donnent pas de chance. Le propriétaire fait son mieux avec ce qu’il a clairement😅 gentil monsieur qui nous a acceuillis!
• Yvon (2/5): - Salle de bain avec plancher pourri et une belle trappe à est.La moitié des lumières non fonctionnelles.Lit pas confortable ,avec des draps tachés.Aucune vitre dans la porte d, entré secondaire. Senteurs d, humidité.
• Sonia (2/5): - Accueil en anglais; très mauvaise odeur dans la chambre. Pas de serviettes, papier de toilette, shampoing, savon pour le corps. Toiles d'araignée un peu partout dans la chambre. Draps tachés ou pas lavés. Clientèle douteuse. Môtel vraiment médiocre. Je ne comprends pas comment le site expedia peut oser proposer ce môtel. Sous aucun prétexte je retournerai dans cet établissement.
• Peter (4/5): - …
• LILIA (6/5): - The personnel was really nice , but the place wasn’t clean and the room smells like cigarettes but it worth the price for one night :)
• jomon (4/5): - Not worth for the money
• Sarah (2/5): - The check in office smelled of cat urine, several stray cats wandering around, two large loose dogs. Leaking faucet which left the only towel soaking wet, cobwebs and bugs throughout. I was in the room less than an hour before I had bugs crawling on me so I decided I could not sleep there and was denied any refund and was only spoken to through a door.
• Holly (5/5): Passable - Good location and value for money. Could be cleaner.
• Choonho (2/5): - The bed was not cleaned(hair and dirty spot were still there) and the light of toilet was gone. I explained the above and thus asked the owner to refund. But he gave me its half only. It was nightmare. I do not recommend this motel at all. Never, ever.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The bed was not cleaned(hair and dirty spot were still there) and the light of toilet was gone. I explained the above and thus asked the owner to refund. But he gave me its half only. It was nightmare. I do not recommend this motel at all. Never, ever.
• Hugh (2/5): - You get what you pay for, sometimes less. Some rooms were in worse shape than others but all needed repairs and cleaning. With a lot of work and better services this could deliver as advertised. As is, it is not worth it at any price. First room had missing screen in outer door, sticking inner door, missing tiles in floor and ceiling, lots of bugs and cobwebs inside, missing lighbulbs. Towels were delivered eventually after multiple requests. Did come with left behind dirty clothes from a previous occupant as a bonus. The person working there was nice, and there were lots of cats around. Good view of the river from nearby, but not pleasant, nor sanitary, nor safe in the rooms and on the property.
• Jacques (2/5): Mal propre et pas service mais merci quand même - Je m’excuse mais pour moi j’ai passé une belle nuit la seule chose que je n’es pas aimé ses le service pas de serviettes pour se sécher après une douche pas de débarbouiller pour se laver j’ai trouvé ça bien ordinaire et en plus pas de papier de toilette de rechange un demie rouleau pour 4 personne pas fort falaise conter les carrés de papier pour pas en manquer en plus plein de file d’arreigner dans les coin de la chambre lava beau plein rouille roulée pratiquement percé par la rouille la douche est pas si pire mais tu te dépêches de te laver peut d’attraper des maladies ça pas l’air désinfecté plus qu’il faut pour les personnes qui n’on pas énormément d’argent ça peut faire mais m’ois j’ai passer une nuit mais pas deux j’aurais changé de place pour la deuxième nuit pour les matelas ses bien mais pas d’ure très m’ois j’ai mal aux dos je peux vous dire une nuit ses bien assez je m’excuse pour les gens qui travaille là mais ci je serai à leur place je serai très gêner de louer ce genre de chambre aux gens ci j’étais à votre place je serai gêner de loué ses chambres d’hôtel comme ça vous regardez l’extérieur et ça dit tout les mauvais herbes prenne le dessus sur les arbres la piscine la toile est tout déchirée il as assez de movais herbes que il faut que tu le saches qu’il avait une piscine je comprends pas pourquoi vous pouvez être encore ouvert avec le service que vous donner soit que vous êtes inconscient du service que vous donner et la mal propreté qu’il it as présentemen.
