Auberge Motel La Référence

Trois-Rivieres

We stayed overnight with friends. It was too much: no reservation made! no fare as advertised, very poor room, hygiene to be reviewed!

Not recommended

The price paid is twice the price offered on the internet. Room 2 beds on the ground floor, dark with an unpleasant smell. Tiny bathroom for 4. Clean towels are placed on the toilet. The fridge hasn't been cleaned. A small table with a huge stain. Even for sleeping I don't recommend the smell so bad.

The requested confirmation never reached us.

I paid $161 more than the advertised rate for two rooms.Tariff seen on a website,but we had booked live!!.Managing bad faith.Passing cleanliness,bad smell..quiet neighborhood.

surprise of the rate

Be careful, even if you book there, you may be told that when you arrive there are no more available and they are full. It's not nice to have to look elsewhere at 10pm when you're tired. Fortunately, the very kind receptionist was understanding with me and moved me to a motel suite because I was very tired and I didn't have the strength to find another place. This apartment was okay except for the bathroom which didn't really seem to have been washed since the last user (hair in the bathroom) and the shower that left me wanting to shower. I would take my bag in the bathroom because I didn't have to get into the basement of the general bathroom because I didn't need to get into the bathroom.

mismanagement of reservations

didn’t like that the man on the desk was in his bare feet and smelled of alcohol. friendly but kind of unprofessional. he also attempted to try and get hair from my dog (i think he was trying to see if she sheds). this made me feel unwelcome with my dog, and wondering why they advertise themselves if pet friendly. if my dog was shedding, would we have been charged more, or turned away?

the room was also not cleaned properly. i found hair in the bed and on the extra pillow. the extra pillow was also stained. the floor wasn’t clean. there was minor, but unfinished wall repair in progress. the bed was like sleeping on a box spring instead of a mattress. the outside entrance area was also cluttered with random refuse. it appeared like people live in some of the rooms, so the outside of their entrances seemed to be treated that way, with ‘household’ garbage, stacks of newspapers/magazines, stuff like that. was just an okay stay. 

i liked that i could book last minute. the neighbourhood was also very lovely to walk my dog around. lawns are meticulously manicured and properties are very neat and tidy.

5/10 at best. an okay stay at best.

I was on vacation in Montreal in August 2016 (the date was no longer available on the menu below), and the last night I had to vacate my friends' place and find a motel - everyplace in Montreal was booked, and this was the closest place I could afford.  I booked the room on another site and paid for it and drove the two hours to Trois-Rivieres, but when I got there around midnight, the office was closed for the night. I rang the bell repeatedly and no answer. They had gone to bed. I called the office number and kept getting voice mail. I called and called and rang and rang, but no response. If they are going to be so irresponsible, they need to check their reservations before going to bed - I was completely stranded. Fortunately I found a very nice place across the street that had an open room. When I went back the next morning to get my money back, the owner didn't even apologize and claimed he did nothing wrong! Fortunately I was able to cancel my charge. They are not to be trusted!

Left me stranded

Located in a business area, the setting is far from idyllic, wifi ok, parking ok, the room is equipped with something to cook, decoration aging, in our room a piece of the ceiling left to appear insulation, a stage yes a stay no

well to make a step

Booked here because of price and I found it first of the list of 3 places I was going to try in the area. Was a bit of a drive from the highways, but not difficult to find. 

Outside the motel looked pretty standard, nothing special, but the rooms inside had everything. I found a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee maker, hot plate and enough utensils to make just about anything I would have wanted. 

Staff were not bilingual, but basic french and a bit of effort will get you by there. Aside from that they were very welcoming and friendly. 

I'd say this was excellent value given the cheap price, and would work well for people looking for a few nights where they can prepare food themselves. Downsides were overall small size of room (two people might feel cramped after a long stay there).

Other things: Wifi was good, parking was free

Very good value

Though it did not look too inviting from teh outside, the rooms were large, modern, and very clean. Came with a toaster oven, microwavee, and coffee maker,plus dishes... and there is a grocery store a 2 minute walk away. No breakfast, but good clean room. Tub only suitable for children, not adult... too small.
