Welcome to Motel des Mariniers

The motel operates a straightforward service model with no on-site restaurant, breakfast, pool, or fitness center.

Cutest room! It was very clean and smelled very nice. The owners/workers were very friendly. We liked how there was a sliding screen door to the back and was private. The beds and pillows were comfortable and you can tell they were freshly washed. Another plus, It is pet friendly, so our fur baby had a great sleep in his first motel stay! Also, bring your own shampoo/conditioner and body wash. They do have shampoo, but if you’re a woman, you know what I’m talking about.

We received the best possible welcome with room upgrade for no charge. We slept in 3-room apartment and enjoyed a beer in motel’s pub. Nice place with nice view. If you have a way around, stop for a night.

We had a great time staying here! Arrived quite late with no reservation, got the best room at a good price and spent some good time with the locals in the pub next door. Highly recommended!

We were just passing through on a road trip and got in late but were surprised with how nice the little town was. They left a key for us which was great. We got in and found a great room with two double beds. Lots of blankets and pillows and had a stunning view of the st Lawrence river. Room was very very clean and would definitely come back again!

We were traveling from Nova Scotia and stopped here for the night. The motel was good, clean, and comfortable. For $100, the room was definitely worth it. A great place to rest during a long trip.

I was afraid this might be a neglected out of the way place, but was i WRONG. I came by snowmobile on a trans Québec trip. The trail leads right to the door. Safe snowmobile parking, and the rooms are clean, cute, and stocked with everything you need. The innkeeper is the friendliest guy and speaks English better than I speak French. There is a cozy bar/restaurant that is packed on a Saturday afternoon
