This review is for the boat tour portion of this tour. For the bus tour, please look up " Tours…read moreAventures Fjord et Monde Inc. " This boat ride was part of our trip to know more about the region. We just got off a great bus tour and we were waiting for our boat to arrive. The good: Very informative. Saw a seal in the water. The view is simply stunning. Little snack bar on boat. Was not that full when we went in, which made it easier for us to access. Very cool but not cold. The bad: NOT wheelchair accessible (there is a few steps to get on the boat). After a while, can be a little boring to look at similar landscape for over an hour. French only. Bathroom had NO lights in it, and finding the flush handle was quite a challenge. Although terrific, l was a little disappointed about the tour, especially after we had such a wonderful bus tour. But it was still entertaining. Just be sure you go to the bathroom BEFORE going on the boat.

This was one of the activities we have planned for ouf trip in the region, and we were happy with our choice. We discovered a lot about the region, and visited some great places during our four-stops bus ride. The good: Host was not only very informative about the region and it's history, but she was passionate about it, which made it even more enjoyable. Nice view of chapels, waterfalls, landscape, etc. We even had a taste of local cheese on the tour. Four stops includes road of creches, first habitants, hungover bridge, and landscape point ox view. The bad: Focuses a lot on first habitants and the flood of 1996. Two of the four stops are not recommended for people with limited walking, or wheelchairs (but you can stay on the bus). Ride is VERY bumpy. French only (but understandable). But the bad does not outweigh the good at all. This tour is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to learn about the region.

So on Thursday the wife and I decided to head up north of Quebec City to hopefully see the Northern…read moreLights. So in looking for a good price with good reviews I found this hotel. In further looking at the pictures I saw the beautiful view of the fjord and was sold. So we booked it and Saturday morning we did the 8+ hour drive from Boston to get there. Upon entering we were greeted with a nice warm smile and a meaningful Bonjour! and something more which I couldn't understand as my conversational French is minimal. Upon my returning the Bonjour and asking to check in in English our friend quickly switched to English and we had a pleasant chat. As we were tired from the drive just wanted to get something to eat and take a quick nap before venturing out for a late night of gazing at the heavens we accepted the offer to eat in the hotels restaurant. Mind you as a rule I don't usually eat in a hotel restaurant as the food is usually pretty mediocre but we made an exception in this case. Boy oh boy am I glad we did. That night you had two options - ordering off the regular menu or the Chef had made up a table d'hote that you could order from. So the wife and I did the table d'hote - 4 courses each. We had escargot in a cream type sauce and smoked salmon mousse for appetizers. The next course was a beef consume based soup. The entrees were turkey with mashed potatoes with cranberry sauce, and duck stuffed cannelloni with a salad. Desert was Black Forest Cake. To say the least we were blown away with the quality of the food. Everything was so delicious not one bad thing to say about the meal at all. Everything was just incredibly delicious! Talk about your hidden gems this is definitely one of them and the price was under priced in my opinion for what you got. We were so impressed we did brunch the next day with very good results as well. As for the hotel, as others have mentioned it is been completely remodeled as far as we can tell very recently. Everything was clean, neat, smelled nice, an was warm and inviting. We had a room with a view of the fjord and that was a beautiful sight to wake up to after a long night. All the staff we encountered were very helpful spoke English well enough so we could be comfortable in talking with them and were just very friendly. I can't recommend this please highly enough to anyone that would like a nice quiet romantic get a away for a weekend! It is an awesome place and I wish them the best of luck they deserve it. The wife and I would definitely stay here again without any hesitation.

Top quality hotel in the Saguenay-Chicoutimi-Jonquière area. I was concerned about being in the…read moreback woods, but this place is as good as any other full service hotel I've stayed in anywhere. Quiet and clean room with a nice workspace, a large flat-screen TV, free wifi, a mini-fridge, coffee/tea service, a nice washroom with the usual supplies, and in the lobby area, laundry, computers, gym, pool and free parking. Bed is plenty comfortable and the curtains do a decent job of blocking the bright morning sunlight (depending on what time of year you're here, of course). Free parking. There is a Tim Horton's within walking distance, as well as Mike's and a Subway, plus a supermarket that is accessible without having to go outside in the weather.

Assuming everything is perfect with what someone would expect from a hotel like this I will list…read moreoff the negatives from our visit to this location and why my review dropped from 5 to 3. 1. The AC unit is one of those units mounted to the wall under the window, something I would expect from an older outdated hotel. 2. The shower had very little water pressure, I think I've felt rain with more pressure. 3. Although the hotel looks generally updated with modern features, none of there power outlets have USB ports. There was not one USB charging port in the room, and a quick scan of the common area meeting room in the lobby seemed to also have the same old non-USB outlets. 4. The english translation written in the rooms information booklet could use a good rewrite, some of the translation just doesn't make sense. (This is very minor and I wouldn't even mention it if I wasn't making a list with other items) 5. There isn't a change room for the pool or exercise room. 6. We were told the outdoor pool is heated, but clearly they meant "not heated" or "heated by the sun only". Thankfully it was a very nice day and the cool water was refreshing. 7. The toilet in our room would not flush correctly and would constantly get stuck and keep running unless the handle was jiggled just the right way. (If home I'd fix it myself, but when paying for a hotel room like things I won't be touching that. Its vacation for a reason after all) 8. Multiple lights were out in the elevator buttons so you could never be sure of a successful floor selection until the doors reopened. On the plus side, the hotel is very clean, mostly current updates and very friendly staff. I would have no problem staying here again and if most of the issues from my list we fixed my review would easily be a 5.
