Great stop to/from QC south shore or Maritimes

Great swimming pool and hot tub and access to the spa at reduced rates. Parking was tight with some rooms having reserved spots and others not. Our room faced the swimming pool, but I wasn’t able to open the patio door so I’m not sure what the point of having it is and it was very dark they could improve on the lighting in the rooms other than that no complaints really.
