What guests think

At Motel au Vieux Piloteux, travelers describe a simple, budget‑friendly stop with comfortable beds, friendly service, and a convenient location near the highway and river, suitable for an overnight stay when passing through.

Many units are renovated and well equipped, and amenities like a heated outdoor pool, parking outside the door, pet‑friendly rooms, and a Tesla charger are appreciated. Common drawbacks include some small or dated rooms, thin walls and noise, occasional lukewarm or limited hot water, inconsistent Wi‑Fi, and a few pest reports. There is no on‑site breakfast, and prices can feel high in peak season. Expect a straightforward, comfortable roadside stop best for short stays.

Older building, but the room and bathroom has been updated. Very clean. Nice and quiet. Beautiful area. We enjoyed the fact that there was a Tesla destination charger on site.

We stayed here for an overnight. The parking was right outside the door; pet friendly (with a surcharge); room was spotlessly clean and the bonus was “adequate lighting for reading”! The only thing I’d change is a minor one — we were provided with only 2 paper cups. Inexpensive price … we’d definitely stay here again.

Really liked the family feel of the operation. The staff were helpful and the room was what we needed for our toddler and dog. Everything in the room seemed clean and was operable. The pool area needed a little love but the water was clean and warm and there was plenty of seating. Great little stop on our roadtrip.

HONEST REVIEW: If you're looking for a fancy hotel for a family vacation or treat your sweetheart...head to Quebec City. However, if you are looking for an affordable, spotless room with all the amenities and a super comfortable bed after a long drive...this is the perfect place. Staff was super friendly and checking in/out was simple. Will come back in the future.

There was a bad smell inside the room. The worst thing is that I was bit by bed bugs, I didn’t notice it was bed bugs until I went to see a pharmacist. I drove home directly after I stayed at this motel and I didn’t go anywhere else. It must happen in the motel room.Nine places all over my body. Infection started on the most serious part yesterday.

Bed was terrible, sheets not comfortable. The most positive was the heated outdoor pool. There was a smell in the room of old furniture and humidity. The place is clean, but I felt like I was in the 70's when I entered the room.

Did not even stay. We left and went to a different Motel. I was contacted while driving to the motel, harassed about needing my credit card because it was declined. I explained my lodging was booked through hotels.com and that it doesn't make sense. He demanded my info now. I hung up. When I arrived at the Motel, I witnessed a person demanding their money back because the room was filthy. When the worker ignored the customer, they threw their room keys on the counter and left. I followed suit.

Clean, parking in front of my door, office opened only between 1 PM and 9 PM... making things slightly difficult. No conditioner available, so I went to the grocery store and bought some. The fan is always on in the bathroom, and very noisy. I guess they had problems with humidity and needed to make it permanently, but the fan grill was clogged and very dirty... so pretty useless
