Very nice staff and professional! Was very impressed with how clean and neat everything was. Breakfast was very good as well. Very comfy beds and very clean rooms and place in general! I recommend this place for sure!
From when we entered Auberge Pique nique we felt very welcomed. The young man at reception was so friendly and helpful and explained all that was included in our stay.
Rooms very clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was good, was pre determined breakfast. Everyone received 2 eggs
, bacon some fruit all the toast you want and very good coffee.
Over all enjoyed our stay reasonably priced and will return if in the area again.
This was a surprise. It was a bit of detour for us. Unbeatable price, a sense of elegance, very friendly staff and hot breakfast. We like it. Also recommend the Restaurant Palace and the other one by the river and iron bridge(forgot the name ).

We stayed here last minute and, while we’re used to higher-end hotels, we were pleasantly surprised. For the price, it was really not that bad. The staff were very friendly, and we’d most likely return in the future. If they were to invest a bit in the property, it could really become a great place. Also, there were quite a few good restaurants not too far from the motel, which was a nice bonus

The staff was very hospitable however the place is a bit old.The mattress needs to be changed .They do offer a hot breakfast ($), although we left early and did not eat there. It was okay for a night.
At first we tried to cancel our reservation (after arrival) because from the outside the Auberge MOTEL looks like an ordinary run-down Motel. Then we saw the room it was clean. The breakfast is poor I asked for cereals and got them for small Kids with chocolate. The air conditioner is loud. Its good for one night stay-overs. But we will never go back there. We are both old age 82 and 86. We travelled the world and stayed most in much better places. The garden view is near the Highway 55 one can hear the cars. Some garden stairs are broken.

The check in was simple. The attendant was very nice. Easy to find. Lots of dining in the area.
However the outlets were limited, the toilet paper roll was empty (had to replace myself), I had to plug in the window shaker television myself, the grounds around the building need some clean up and the parking lot was rough.
The place is spotless, the room clean, king bed very comportable, lininig and towels changed and housekeeping made every morning The manager was awesome. He cared about the guest and the cleaniness of the rooms and amenities. He offred himself a coffee that was not even included in the price. Good job young boss!

It was fine, but the first night horrible there was a couple fighting not manners at all… the worst was that the problem was not handle at all until the next day. So not resting at all.
Nice homey breakfast included, very appreciated and front desk lady helpful and gentle.
Room clean bed comfortable view to the garden. Parking outside the room. 2 doors access to the room. 1 interior and de other to the parking lot / garden.
They must pay attention having the boiling water machine clean and the microwave.

I arrived to the property at 10pm and there was no one on site. I had to book another place at time at that time then come back the next day. It says that check in time was available until 11:30pm. Besides that, staff was good when I arrived

Simple but good value
It was an older style Auberge but it was clean, easy parking and good breakfast. All with very friendly service at excellent prices. It’s certainly not luxury but it did its job well and we were very satisfied.
