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 !

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.

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 !
