My husband spent hours looking for a motel that would be near the south shore of Mtl. He was…read moredelighted to find Motel du Fleuve, as it was around 15 minutes away from where we go every year to a family BBQ. From the outside, it looks adorable, and the price was good. They told us at the beginning that this was a non-smoking room, and we both were very very happy to hear that. Also, the motel's proximity to the river was excellent, so we could have a grand vista upon opening up our door. As soon as we approached our room, and opened the door, the stench of cigarettes was so thick, I thought we'd get cancer sleeping there. Also, I am disabled, and there were no bars in the shower, nor near the toilet. While the bed seemed ok, we could not get rid of the stench of the cigarettes. There were not enough towels for us to bathe. It took a few phone calls to finally get some. There were these series of hooks on the wall, and so since there were no closets, my husband took one of his linen summer shirts that was on a wire hanger, and hung it on a hook. What happend next? That little light shirt on a wire hanger pulled all those hooks down. We were hysterical, that something so minute could do something like that. Lucky I didn't have to hang up any underwear!
I need a desk, chair and a lamp to put on makeup. I always bring a magnifying mirror with me. I set up my makeup mirror, and take out all my makeup, went to turn on the desk lamp, and what do you think? It didn't work! had no light to get dressed. We were supposed to stay three nights, had to leave after two. I do not recommend this motel for anything at all. It could have been a very pleasant stay, but it was not. I think these people that own the place do not care about it whatsoever. If I could have given it a half a star, I would have.
