Please read the reviews of this hotel carefully before booking. A closer review of their 4.4 overall rating will reveal that many of the 5 star reviews have no comments (presumably friends or bots), while many other 5 star reviews with comments are merely about the food. Comments about the actual accomodations seem to vary between 1 and 3 stars. That being said, please take the time as to avoid being disappointed. We've already expressed concerns directly with fellow guides and friends. My reccomendations: spend the extra $25 and get a cozy hotel in Perce. If you do decide to continue and book a room here if your confirmation tells you, you have room 7 promptly cancel your booking. Not worth it. Not cozy, not rusty, simply disrepair and lazy. After 4 days of hiking and camping in Gaspesie, our final day being a 17km trail run du Mont-Albert, it was only fitting that my wife and I stayed somewhere cozy but with a "camp feel". For the price of $139 (price with taxes) this is the room advertised for the Hebergement+ section (see picture 1) Making for a lovely, cozy end to our Gaspesie trip. Immediately upon our arrival it was apparent the website pictures were dated. One side of the hotel was underconstruction, while I can't fault them for constructions and repairs, the one side of the yard appeared generally unkept, trailers, campers, toys...they knew their angles when they took website pictures For, from the road I could see the three cozy cottages which all had rusty roofs. Rust will happen, but it didnt set a good first impression as seeing that the website had made everything so look pristine. A potemkin village. We were shown to our room, number 7, which was not at all what was advertised as the Hebergement+. These two rooms were the same price yet vastly and clearly different. Upon our arrival we were so tired I didn't mention anything, but after a half hour walk on the beach we decided to return to talk to the manager. I asked if there were any other rooms and she said they were booked until the Fall. I showed her a picture of the advertised room and expressed that I wasnt happy with what we had, these were two vastly different rooms for the same price. She then said I had booked room 7, i can assure you there wasnt an option to book a specific room. When have you ever had an option to book.a.specific room number? And I can assure you if I had the option betwee room number 7 or the one advertised I would have booked the latter. Then she said we had received an email with the square footage of the room...nope, hadnt received that either. She wasn't willing to accept that this had been grossly misadvertised and there was no effort to reconcile. We were disappointed in our arrival and first impressions, with the management, and their advertisement. Now, to save you time with the laundry list of problems and to avoid writting a novel, here is a brief bullet point synopsys of room number 7 and the Camp de Base: Upon our arrival the window had been left open while it rained so bedding was wet and room was damp. The one selling point of this romantic cozy room for my wife was a clawfoot bathtub. Unfortunately bathtub drain cover was the wrong size so the water slowly drained out. When we decided to not bathe but to shower, the shower head screached a high pitched kettle boiling sound when the water was on Flushing toilet, sink, or bathtub and the room would smell like a septic tank. While the manager told me that the 'perk' of our room included our own private bathroom, our room was one door down from the public floor toilet. This meant foot traffic outside our door all night on creaky "rustic" floors. 730am wake up call with the sound of someone whose dinner obviously didnt sit well.

(Translated) Wow! Welcoming staff, hearty and delicious dinner and breakfast, what about the view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence! We were camping and had access to toilets and showers in the hostel. The place is perfect to stay there for a while and go "play outside" around: in the water, on the water, in the mountains or to go and do the tourists in Percé! Thank you Jf for the welcome! ❤ (Original) Wow! Staff Accueillant, souper et déjeuner copieux et délicieux, que dire de la vue sur le golfe du St-Laurent ! Nous étions en camping et avions accès aux toilettes et aux douches dans l'auberge. Le lieu est parfait pour y séjourner un moment et aller "jouer dehors" autour : dans l'eau, sur l'eau, dans les montagnes ou aller faire les touristes à Percé ! Merci Jf pour l'accueil ! ❤
