I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located for accessing the autoroute and is surrounded by nice scenery. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making my sleep enjoyable. However, the noise from nearby rooms was a bit unsettling at times. The staff was welcoming and friendly, which added to the overall positive vibe. While the price was reasonable, I think they could improve the overall dining options.
