Great location, great staff, a good seaside stay!

Good location, friendly staff, a bit noisy, would benefit from sound proof insulation in the floor over the bar downstair. Since bed was not the most comfortable, don’t be afraid to ask for extra pillows. Staff was amazing!

The picture shown of the property is not the property I stayed in. Very misleading!!! The property is not on the beach. It's in a residual/business area a couple of blocks from the waterfront. I chose a private room which I liked but it was above the outdoor dining area of the pub below so noisy & cigarette smoke until 11 p.m. I couldn't open my windows which was very uncomfortable since there's no air conditioning & my stay was in July. Staff was nice (men only). Breakfast was included-continential.

Je ne vous conseille vraiment pas de considérer cette option sauf si le prix est de moins de 100$. Nous avons été très déçu pour une chambre dans une auberge que nous avons payé 350$. C'est du vol pour ce qui est offert. Deplus les fenêtres était bloqué et il n'y avait aucune air climatisé. Le service des incendies interdit ce genre de pratique. Les employés se plaignaient de différentes situations concernant les clients. Le déjeuner est fait le plus cheap possible. Il faisait plus de 30 degrés dans la chambre et nous attendions la musique du bistro.

Ce n’est pas mon premier arrêt à La Secousse et je dois dire que je suis généralement satisferaite de mon court séjour mais l’an dernier l’accueil avait été exceptionnel, le dejeuner avait été copieux (muffins biscuits, oeufs et toasts) et l’ambiance etait imcroyable. Cette année le staff était plutôt malpoli… une personne tuait les mouches autour de ous tandisqu’on mangeait dans la cuisine principale en plus qu’il ait manqué tact avec mon chum la veille. Je ne crois pas y retourner, mais je garde de bons souvenirs de l’an dernier.
