Everything was super clean. Place was old, but pretty well renovated. Great breakfast! Staff was really friendly even though there is a slight language barrier issue.
Our stay was decent. Breakfast was nice and the room was clean.
Points for improvement: One bedside lamp is broken and requires fixing. The bathtub is very slippery, please add a non‑slip mat. The duvet and pillows had an unpleasant smell. More thorough washing of bedding is recommended for upcoming guests.
Very old property, but once you get past that, great service and breakfast.

The place was a bit of a surprise in that it was much bigger than anticipated, and very dated, and somewhat run down. The carpets and furniture in the room were vintage as was the decor, and I could not figure out how to work the television to get any programming. In addition, I was quite surprised that the staff on hand, did not speak French and only a bit of English. That said, the place seemed very clean and the bed was very comfortable and the surrounding relatively quiet.
Very nice staff and professional! Was very impressed with how clean and neat everything was. Breakfast was very good as well. Very comfy beds and very clean rooms and place in general! I recommend this place for sure!
From when we entered Auberge Pique nique we felt very welcomed. The young man at reception was so friendly and helpful and explained all that was included in our stay.
Rooms very clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was good, was pre determined breakfast. Everyone received 2 eggs
, bacon some fruit all the toast you want and very good coffee.
Over all enjoyed our stay reasonably priced and will return if in the area again.

Good plce for a one night, but i wouldn’t stay here longer.
This was a surprise. It was a bit of detour for us. Unbeatable price, a sense of elegance, very friendly staff and hot breakfast. We like it. Also recommend the Restaurant Palace and the other one by the river and iron bridge(forgot the name ).
Full hiking breakfast was good.
Bed was comfortable.
New decorations were cute.
Staff were friendly and bilingual.
For the price, I would return.

We stayed here last minute and, while we’re used to higher-end hotels, we were pleasantly surprised. For the price, it was really not that bad. The staff were very friendly, and we’d most likely return in the future. If they were to invest a bit in the property, it could really become a great place. Also, there were quite a few good restaurants not too far from the motel, which was a nice bonus

Simple but good value
It was an older style Auberge but it was clean, easy parking and good breakfast. All with very friendly service at excellent prices. It’s certainly not luxury but it did its job well and we were very satisfied.

The check in was simple. The attendant was very nice. Easy to find. Lots of dining in the area.
However the outlets were limited, the toilet paper roll was empty (had to replace myself), I had to plug in the window shaker television myself, the grounds around the building need some clean up and the parking lot was rough.
The place is spotless, the room clean, king bed very comportable, lininig and towels changed and housekeeping made every morning The manager was awesome. He cared about the guest and the cleaniness of the rooms and amenities. He offred himself a coffee that was not even included in the price. Good job young boss!

I arrived to the property at 10pm and there was no one on site. I had to book another place at time at that time then come back the next day. It says that check in time was available until 11:30pm. Besides that, staff was good when I arrived
