The motel is a very close walk to the beach which is nice. But the motel is old and crusty. Basically a bed to sleep in while in Magog, if NOTHING else is available. The owner accused me of fraud when he saw my in laws in the room because they were eating dinner with us and threatened to call Expedia because he thought they were staying overnight. I explained to him they were just there to eat. Who in their right mind wants to be crammed into a tiny “2 star” motel room with four adults and two children?? I went searching for the supposed “private beach” but all I could find was overgrown forest. I don’t think it’s been maintained and has been reclaimed by the trees.
Great stay! We called ahead because we weren't sure if we would arrive late, and the response was very helpful and pleasant. Friendly service throughout our stay. The room was cozy, quiet and clean. Comfortable bed, reliable wifi, fridge and cutlery provided. We would definitely go back.

Very reasonable rates and great service! Away from the road, so very quiet.
The kitchenette is great to have, otherwise, you pay what you get.

Runned down, weird smell to room gave me a massive headache. Tissue box was empty and toilet paper was like barely a roll and the extra roll was 1/4 gone. Had to use napkins to blow my nose. The damm alarm went off at 5:45 am even if I never ser it. Will not be going back

Hello
We don't make late departures.
Check out is before 11am for everyone, we can't do it because our cleaning team only works in the morning.
Thank you for your understanding
This is our third time staying in this lovely motel. We had an amazing weekend, weather, location, perfect. The grounds are beautiful. There are tables and lawn chairs set up all around. You can have meals outside and enjoy nature. This little motel is a real gem. It is close to bike paths, great restaurants and shopping. Many activities near by. We look forward to returning very soon!!
It is rustic (like going to a cottage) but the kitchenette made it! Great to prepare breakfast before skiing as well as enjoy beautiful dinner (picked up at the Magog Metro, GOURMET pickings!)
Great location, right near the water and downtown, not a lot of traffic getting there and easy to find. Staff was very friendly and rooms were very clean and comfy.

thank you very much to the pleasure of seeing you again
This little motel is very charming and perfectly located. There is a great bike adjacent to the motel. You can park your car and use your bike to tour all the surrounding areas. Many places to see and great little shops and restaurants. Looking forward to visiting again.
Check in closes at 7:00 PM.
Hotel staff (helpfully) sent an email to let us know, but we didn't have email access, so didn't get it in time. They (again, helpfully) called us when we didn't arrive before 7 because the traffic out of Montreal was terrible, but were quite abrupt on the phone.

the recording ends at 20hh0 and not 19h00, this proves that you are very attentive to what you are told and also to the messages that are sent to you to indicate the hours of check in.
Quiet room that was quite clean. The owner seems a bit more preoccupied with his phone and online bookings than a customer standing before him. He also recites the rules of the place as if he were a sergeant at boot camp. A little more savoir vivre wouldn't hurt him. Also the picture of the front of the motel on Expedia does not do justice to the building. It is in reality rather quaint and pretty. Also it is right on the bike and pedestrian path and thus a short and beautiful walk into town.

customer is a customer, whether in front of me or on the phone, the first come is first served and it seems quite normal even if it displeases you.
Regarding the so-called rules, it seems normal to inform guests of the opening hours of the reception, check out time and the services offered such as lunches, non-smoking room etc etc
This is the first time that I am reproached for something like this, but it takes everything to make a world seem ...
We arrived after hours and the receptionist was nice to leave the door open for us with the key. We only stayed to the night so it was the perfect little cozy room. The bed was not the best... It was snowing and it was quiet -2 of my favorite things. I would totally recommend.

Myself and two friends stayed here while on a snowboard trip where we wanted to hit different locations. It is very close to Orford, 32 km from Owl's Head and 50 km or less to both Bromont and Sutton. The room was cozy, clean and out kitchenette had everything we needed. I realize that everybody has different expectations and all 3 of us had zero complaints and are already talking about coming back.
Nice and comfortable easy walk to town. The owner are very friendly

small but ok, Make sure you can lock your room
The room was well decorated. It was a bit small, no closets. Two beds were nice but a bit squeaky. The door to my room could not lock. We went out to dinner and we had to leave our room open so we packed everything and took it with us in the car. There is no one there after 8 pm so there was nobody to talk to. the location is great. The receptionist was nice but barely spoke any English.

Thank you for your comments, concerning the closing of the rooms, they close all without any problems and fortunately for the customers as for us besides, it would have been wise for you to prevent us because more being anonymous we can not know of what room are you talking about.
But no door closing problem has been brought to my attention by customers or the housekeeping service

thank you for your comments, about the check out, at 11:00 it seems very honorable, the check in being from 14:00, we must leave time to do the housework to give you satisfaction on the cleanliness of the rooms.
It’s close to town and just mins to the lake . Friendly host. Room is clean. The bed is too soft though.

thank you for your comments about the bed is too soft for you but is very good for others, it is impossible to satisfy everyone on this subject, too soft, too hard etc ... it will be necessary to change the mattresses according to the desires of the customers but that does not seem to me realizable in any way.
The owner was friendly and the place was exactly as advertised.

merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires et si je pouvais vous rendre ce service, je le ferais , mais malheureusement nous ne pouvons accordé ce privilege a une personne seulement sans l'accorder aux autres et cela est impossible pour nous.
A privately run hotel near the lake and walking and bicycle nearby. The rooms were as the photos show---super clean and individualised. The bed was very comfortable and the room had a fridge. Its fun and interesting to stay in privately managed hotels like this (i.e., not a chain). The manager was very friendly and accommodating. Lots of parking----super value.
A nice little road side motel, good location near the major highway, and short drive to Magog. Nice location for skiing the resorts of owl head, orford and bromont. clean and the beds were very comfortable. A nice owner. He doesn't speak a lot English though. Room decor and bathroom were pretty dated and could use some updating if you're picky about those kinds of things. Overall a good value and nice place to stay, and would stay again when in the area.

Great view and great atmosphere, the employees are very friendly and if you love maple syrup like I do,
you'll be in heaven. The breakfast is totally worth the price ,we had the waffles fruit breakfast both days we were there
It was fresh and delicious. We will for sure go back but this time maybe when the snow is gone and we can swim in the lake.
Loved this place so much. Such unexpected loveliness in the details, so close to a beautiful walking path, such a kind and accommodating host. Thank you, Thiery!

Our second time staying here and another really good experience. As my two year old said it is " nice and cozy!" The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The rooms although smallish are impeccably clean and big enough to fit a pack n play and a play yard (for kids to sleep in). Also really close to a great beachside playground. They have also just renovated their reception and cafe area and it looks great. The rooms all have a back door that opens onto a lovely lush treed backyard area with seating ( and a trampoline which was a huge hit with my toddler) All in all a really good experience for a fantastic price

We booked for 2 nights was very quiet area just outside Magog, If you are looking for a small room with a kitchenette it is for you. The bed is soft way to small for 2 adults.Wifi was not working if you need internet.
