Motel de l'Anse à l'Eau

Parc National du Fjord-du-Saguenay

This motel is very well located in Tadoussac (almost all tourist spots accessible on foot in less than 15 minutes) and free parking is a huge asset. Very friendly accommodation and service with all the information to guide us. The bedroom and bathroom (very clean) were right for us but a few are not very expensive for this type of motel. Simple recommendation, Owners should partner with the neighboring restaurant (La Bolée (which is excellent)) to offer breakfast with the price of the room.

Perfect for a first visit to Tadoussac

The rooms are clean on arrival but housekeeping is not done during the stay, no soap is available, the rooms are noisy (everything is heard in the next room and on the street), no breakfast is possible (but coffee is available gracefully). The staff is particularly unpleasant and arrogant as soon as a negative opinion is left, and refuses to provide an invoice.

Motels to Avoid

My husband jokes that he likes motels for their colour TVs but, even with lower expectations, this one was a disappointment. We would recommend it only if there are no other affordable options.

The cost for a standard room for two nights was more than $400. The bed was just OK, the pillows cheap -- what you might find in the spare room of someone who doesn't want you to get too comfortable. 

The bathroom fan was loud, the toilet ran and the  bathroom light only worked if you took it apart and played with the flourescent tube. And noisy! OMG. A previous reviewer commented that truck traffic started at 4:30 a.m. He didn't mention that street noise doesn't stop until 2:30. 

Worst was the smell of mould in the carpets. With no air conditioning, we had to keep the patio screen open day and night. What's more, the rooms aren't cleaned during a stay, but an envelope on the bedside table invites a gratuity for room cleaning!

Still, we really wanted to go whale watching. Seeing the whales was wonderful, and we were grateful to find a place to stay. As well, the nearby bakery, which opens at 6:30 a.m., was a delight.

When There's No Room at Other Inns

This motel is very well located in Tadoussac and the free parking is a huge asset. The staff is friendly and the room is frankly correct. A bit of a bemoal: soundproofing. We were awakened early by noises in the hallway and in the next room. For the rest, nothing to report.

It's a good motel.

Spent two nights in a standard room recently which had a 'private' patio on the ground floor. Front desk service was very helpful and recognized my French was poor. Our room was very clean and the only drawback was we had to move the fridge to reach the only accessible power outlet; no big deal. Ceiling fan was a bit noisy - no aircon and no windows that can be opened. Ground floor patio door ensured we had to keep curtains closed for privacy at all times. Lashings of hot water, possibly scaldingly hot. Bed was a standard mattress, no pillow top, but quite comfortable. TV only offered French channels. The booking service commented on road noise in the Economy Rooms but not in the room we booked, but bc the building is only one room deep, road noise from the trucks heading to and from the ferry is inevitable for all rooms; perhaps the ground floor rooms experience less noise than the upper rooms - whatever, it starts around 4.30am; bring earplugs if you think it will be an annoyance. The motel is one of the first establishments you come across in the village, therefore is the furthest from the viewing rocks, maybe 1 1/2km. Parking is often at a premium around town so be prepared to walk up and down a couple of steep hills.

Very Clean

We had a room in the front, away from the the highway traffic in the back, so it was quiet, except for the portable room A/C which was much appreciated because of the intense heat (35 centigrade) but was inevitably noisy. The kitchenette was very convenient and well equipped. The location on the main street was perfect as it was 10 minutes from the harbour and less than 5 for the restaurants and shops. Parking is free. 

Great host and clean, comfortable room...

When we were booking, the gentleman helped us pack our suitcases on the second floor. Very courteous. The room was very nice, very clean. But the walls are not soundproofed... the people who work at this hotel are friendly. I really appreciated their explanations in the area for tourist attractions. I would love to go back there.

Very welcome.

I think it's a good thing that I found the price (to be in Canada) and the impeccable cleanliness of the rooms. But the really small size of the room doesn't even allow you to place your suitcases so you can get in and out of the room without overstepping.

2.5 the right vote in my opinion

Nice cosy clean room.  Parking was available front and back.  We had a room on the end of the block downstairs, so could hear people going up the stairs.  Check-in was quick and they spoke English well.  Motel located at the end of the main road running through the town.  Conveniently located next to the AML office and opposite the pick up point.  Room had a small kitchenette which was well equipped.  We didn't opt for the breakfast option.  Enough restaurants also were down the road along with a supermarket.  Harbour was a 10-15 minute walk away.

Nice Motel

A little worried at the sight of the road passing behind the motel, we had the chance to occupy a room facing forward. This one is large, quiet, clean. We enjoyed the welcome of the owner who runs a shop on the ground floor. A few tens of meters from the center of the village, the place is ideal. Just opposite the very good restaurant La Bolée.
