J’ai choisi vue sur la piscine et c’était une grosse erreur. Malgré que l’école n’était pas fini encore, il y avait beaucoup beaucoup de monde et c’était très très bruyant et ça aurait été désagréable aller se baigner. Même dans les couloirs beaucoup d’enfants courraient. Sûrement plus tranquille dans une autre aile. Mais oubliez une baignade tranquille

Bump in the head

The hotel is quite nice, and I'd return. However, it's hard to believe that of all the places I've stayed (motels, hotels, Airbnbs in various countries), it was here (in a renown 4 * hotel) that I harshly struck my head on a surprisingly low, unregulated ceiling (I am 6ft2) . The impact was severe—I ended up with a bump and a slight break in the skin that bled a bit, as well as a sore neck, all from a ceiling that shouldn't have been that low, from the gym to the elevator. Hopefully the hotel will correct that situation.

Love staying here as the halfway point between Ottawa and Moncton. Le Boreal (restaurant) is amazing. Including very fair prices for the quality. My only issue was the huge amount of unchaperoned kids. In the pool rendering it useless and up and down the hallway shouting. That’s more on the parents than the hotel, but advertising a water slide in the pool, that’s what you’re going to get. Accomodating for our dog. Walkout room. $35 for the dog extra, unless service animal. All in all a good stay. Oh and room service was quick and very professional.
