Friendly staff & beautiful views

Motel le Vacancier is a great place to stay to explore the Tadoussac area. The staff are friendly and the location provides uninterrupted views of Baie Saint-Catherine and private beach access just a short drive & ferry ride from Tadoussac. We enjoyed our stay here.

Love this location. Motel is outdated but clean. The view from the back of the motel is absolutely breathtaking. They have a fire pit and chairs for your viewing of the ocean around the back. They also have steps taking you down to the beach. The restaurant is located at the first building which serves great breakfast. The only downside is that there is no air conditioning.

Room overlooked the waterfront. Very clean and friendly staff. Decorating is a bit dated but pleasant enough. Door locks are stiff and maybe should be updated.

Great location, hotel staff was nice, and the room was clean. My only complaint was that the walls were a bit thin so I could hear the neighbor's TV really easily through the wall. There is not much to do in Baie Sainte-Catherine so we would go to Tadoussac during the day, but it was nice to stay right on the water. We watched whales and seals right from our porch.

Average Motel on the beach with good restaurant

As far as motels go this was the best one on our eastern Canada trip. Great location if you want to catch a whale watching your and the food at the restaurant was pretty good. You can stroll the beach and there is a general store across the road. Rooms are very basic but all you need for a road trip stop.
