Motel Derfal

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Motel Derfal is consistently described as a quiet, clean, well-kept older motel with friendly staff, comfortable basics, and pleasant outdoor areas, making it a reliable stop for short stays near the St. Lawrence River.

Rooms are small but usually comfortable, with some renovated bathrooms, strong hot water, and useful in-room amenities like fridge, microwave, and coffee makers. The scenic riverside setting offers shaded gardens and seating, plus easy driving access to restaurants and highways, and some guests find it convenient for work near Montréal. Recurring drawbacks include occasional noise from older air conditioners, temperature or insulation issues, sporadic maintenance problems such as non-working jetted tubs or TV placement/channel limitations, and a few comments about higher-than-expected prices. Expect a simple, no-frills stay.

Le système d’air climatisé bruyant empêchant le sommeil. Sur le terrain de l’hôtel il y a une table a pique-nique et une balançoire vraiment sales. Si on veut utiliser le mobilier extérieur il le nettoyer. Un point positif la chaleur et la quantité d’eau nécessaire pour prendre une douche.

For a roadside motel, I think this is a great place. - The staff was extremely helpful whenever I need something. - The outside sitting area was nice. - I really enjoyed relaxing in my jetted bathtub after a long bike ride!

La propreté des lieux est A1. Le service également, nous avions chaque jour de nouvelles serviettes et nos poubelles étaient changées. L’air climatisé est silencieuse (thermopompe). De plus, le motel se trouve dans un quartier très tranquille avec vue sur le fleuve. Nous recommandons vivement l’endroit pour un séjour paisible.

Les jardins entourant le motel sont vraiment très beaux. Le personnel est gentil et courtois. Impeccable côté propreté. Tarif bas, donc chambre petite. Salle de bain rénovée, mais pas le mobilier. Matelas très confortable. Climatiseur vieux et bruyant, ce qui n'aide pas pour dormir.

Lorsque nous avons réservé notre chambre sur expédia le prix était de 120.$ sur place le propriétaire nous a charger 179.50$ . Sinon c’est une belle petite place

This motel was cute and quiet. The man running the front was very nice and check in was fast and easy. We were able to drop the key in the drop box for checkout because we left earlier than they opened. We couldn’t hear anyone in other rooms. I was impressed by the bathroom, if you are a tub person, their tub was deep and long enough to sit in comfortably. It was clean, and the area felt safe. It was a little out of the way from food, but driving 10-20 minutes, you were near a bunch of restaurants.
