Great little hotel. Nice, clean modern rooms a short walk from downtown and the beach. As a family of five, we enjoyed the apartment style room so that we all had our own bed and lots of space. Highly recommend.

If you are coming by snowmobile, this place is almost impossible to find. There are no signs on the trail like other hotels in the area and a lot of main road running. Other than that, it's a clean, new, lovely place that has everything you need

This motel is super good, clean, spacious and well located. The mini kitchen is very functional and the bedroom is super comfortable. The owner, Dominique, is very kind and prompltly helped us with a small incident in the middle of the night. This is definitely my option when coming back to Carleton.

Stayed here for a few nights while visiting family in Gaspesie. This motel is beautiful! Quiet! Very well priced. Each room is newly renovated- very comfortable bed. You can sit on the balcony and enjoy your coffee and have a sea and mountain view. Do not hesitate. Loved this motel! Will stay again.
