Had a wonderful stay with the family at Motel de l'Anse à l'Eau. We were impressed by how clean everything was—we’ve never seen a bathroom so gleaming at a motel before. Clearly the staff take great pride and care in their hotel. The front desk staff were kind and supportive as well, they spoke with Expedia directly to modify our booking and provide a refund for the last day when we had to depart earlier than expected. The location is great too, walking distance to restaurants, boulangeries, and the waterfront. We would happily return to Motel de l'Anse à l'Eau on our next trip to Tadoussac and recommend it heartily!

The room was fine: clean, comfortable and generally quiet. Front desk was friendly and helpful, though with limited hours. However, during our three day stay, there was no maid/room- cleaning service. The last night- St Jean Baptiste Day- was extremely noisy.

I found that the bed sheets were not changed. When I opened the blankets to air the bed I found hair from the previous guests. It was disgusting and anti-hygienic.

Motel propre mais très vieux. Chambre très petite, propre mais difficile a bouger pour deux personnes si la valise et ouvert. Salle de bain propre mais très petite, ventilateur extrêmement bruyant et il démarre toujours quand on allume la lumière , on ne peut pas allume la lumière durant la nuit, on réveille tout le monde. Attention pour ceux qui voyage en été , IL N’Y A PAS DE CLIMATISEUR! On a trouvé le prix un peu élevé 150$ la nuit.

Property was within easy walking distance to local businesses / attractions. Lady at reception was very welcoming. Room was quite small but that didn't bother me. Very noisy though. I don't mind road noise as I was expecting th at but you can hear people next door. Floor was quite squeaky so I felt bad for people below my room. Overall a nice stay but property could use some updating

Bien situé mais un peu bruyant puisque la 138 est collée sur les chambres côté Ouest. Personnel accueillant et très gentil. Chambre avec cuisinette bien pratique. L'hôtel est un peu vieux mais super bien entretenu et propre. Parfait pour un voyageur solo qui ne va pas passer beaucoup de temps dans sa chambre.
