Such a fun stay! Charming location, and the food was amazing. Great staff who worked hard to overcome our language barriers. We appreciated the fact that we came to their home, having a limited grasp on their language, but they still worked hard to accommodate us. Hopefully we get to stay here again.

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.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à l’Auberge La Secousse ! Nous avons été très bien accueillis dès notre arrivée à 15 h. En arrivant, nous avons rencontré les deux chiens de l’auberge, qui étaient adorables, affectueux et très gentils. L’auberge est bien équipée avec un beau bar, une terrasse et un foyer extérieur (accessible moyennant un frais de 10 $). Notre chambre disposait d’un lavabo et d’une douche privés, ainsi que d’une terrasse offrant une vue partielle sur le fleuve. La salle de bain partagée avec quelques autres chambres était toujours propre et nous n’avons jamais eu à attendre pour l’utiliser. Les espaces communs et les chambres étaient propres, confortables et bien entretenus. Les oreillers étaient un peu trop épais à notre goût, mais après une simple demande, le personnel nous a fourni des oreillers plus minces qui étaient parfaits. Une couverture supplémentaire était également disponible dans le placard. Le bar propose plusieurs bières locales ainsi qu’un bon choix de cocktails. La jeune barmaid nous a offert un service exceptionnel tout au long de notre séjour. Nous avons également soupé sur place et la nourriture était excellente ! Des jeux de société sont mis à la disposition des clients. Notre favori a été sans aucun doute le jeu « Trou du cochon », qui nous a bien fait rire. L’emplacement est parfait, avec une magnifique vue sur le fleuve. Il y a un stationnement sur place ainsi que beaucoup d’espace de stationnement gratuit dans la rue à proximité.

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.
