Belle chambre propre et lit confortable. Nous sommes allés au bar et l'ambiance était super. Tout le monde se connaissait et même si nous n'étions pas du coin, on s'est senti super bien acceuilli. La bouffe est super bonne et les employés sont vraiment gentils. Marie-Ève et son chum forment une super belle équipe. C'est certain qu'on aimerait y retourner.
Bar et motel supers ! Les serveuses sont au top et le rapport qualité-prix est incroyable (bons plats avec des portions généreuses pour des prix dérisoires), également pour le motel dont le prix est très intéressant par rapport aux alentours !
Great service and clean rooms the take out restaurant is very affordable and generous portions of excellent food
J'y suis allée pour le casse croute rétro lavio et j'ai été satisfaite chaques fois autant pour la nourriture que pour les prix très raisonnables.
Nous n'avons pas été à l'hôtel, mais au casse-croûte rétro-Lavio. Presque à toutes les jeudis Nous allons chercher le spécial comptoir, 10 ailes frites pour 10$ On est accro ben raide. Très très bon!
Motel bien situé. Le personnel est sympa. Sinon les points à améliorer : - Chambre à rénover/réparer : la 1ere chambre n'a pas de lumière. La deuxième chambre a une fuite au niveau de la cuve. - La personne qui gère la location est également au service dans le bar/restaurant. Donc n'attendez vous pas à un service rapide si vous arrivez à l'heure de repas. Je mets quand même 4* pour le prix et ainsi pour encourager le commerce local.
We just want a comfy bed and clean room,no frills.this fulfilled our needs.also had microwave and fridge,big plus.tub was clean and had a stopper,can't believe how many motels bathtub don't have stoppers,so was happy for that.Friendly management,bar and diner attached.Nice breakfast and dinner available at restaurant across the street.was very content with Hotel Laviolette.
On a passé une nuit au motel et 2 repas au bar. Une super équipe, tous souriant et très sympathiques. Les prix sont dérisoires quant à la qualité des plats. Je vous conseilles le burger Lavio !

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
