it was incredibly noisy when we were there. there were a lot of skimobilers and parties happening on the floor. we heard people running around all night. when I mentioned it to the front desk the next day they said I should have said somethign at the time and couldnt offer any discount other than breakfast. Dissapointed as we are recurring customers.

Stayed in an upgraded room. Nothing really stood out for it to be classified as an upgrade. The window looked out to the wall of the indoor swimming pool building and a bright light was on all night so we had no other choice but to have drapes closed tight all night. It was still visible as the curtains don't close tightly. As a one night stay option I wouldn't really recommend. Would be best as a multi-night stay to use amenities.

Chambre intéressante et propre. Toutefois, le chauffage est à perfectionner. Il monte la chaleur très haute et ne redémarre qu’une fois que la température a beaucoup diminuée. De plus, la salle de bain est exigue et la toilette est très petite… genre toilette pour enfant.

We have always stayed at Universel when driving from Shediac to Ottawa. Pretty close to halfway point. They accept our dog but with a $35 fee. Easy and quick checkin. The restaurant is fantastic (Le Boreal), highly recommend the sous-vide beef or pork cheeks. So freaking good and not overly expensive. Our only issue is the room heater would not shutoff no matter how I set it. So room was very warm. I’m sure they would’ve moved us but we were exhausted and didn’t want to repack.
