Hôtels Gouverneur Trois-Rivières — Hotel in Trois-Rivières

As of today, as I write this review, average price of local ARBNBs 1 bedroom apartements are between 150-250/night during the week, off season, and other hotel rooms between 160-220.

Mid April (off season)

I would have loved to be more generous as the staff is so nice, and my mom, who has worked for the gvt for years, have sworn by these hotels for years. Unfortunately, yes this hotel is getting old. Old rooms partly renovated. Well chosen colours to adapt to today’s styles. But you can see the “partly renovated” efforts through details: patching between toilet tiles, stains on old rugs, old wood furniture from the 90s, paint peeling off in the bathroom.

The look, I could have passed by personally, but I chose an hotel room cause I told myself, this will be quieter from sure and there is service. Like I said, staff amazing. On day 1, my card did not work after remagnezing it, but the manager came himself as his handyman had already left. It took him 15 minutes to change te batteries(complicated system) of door knob and all was fine afterward. Had to get a new card the day after, as it got again unmagnetized.

But unfortunately it is not well isolated sound wise. Could hear slightly my neighbours tv and hear him coughing. I thought, a new couple on their honeymoon, we hear them for sure.

It has also one of these communicating double doors between rooms. Though this is practical for events -Like I said my mom used to work for the gvt and sometimes they’d use adjacent bedrooms to have a 5-7 room for their guests (one room to prep food and drink and one for the party) - kind of weird feeling when I first saw it, as we’re not used to it anymore.

It is absolutely well situated though. Right between old Trois-Rivieres and downtown. Loved it. Did everything by foot.

The heating: one of those old wheel ones…when after the click it gets too hot, and below it, you freeze.

The scent: I actually loved it as it was a memory of my youth, joining my mom in such hotels. Like a powdery - clean odour.

The lighting is horrible. Nothing on the ceiling and at night, aside for the entrance and bathroom, the room is softly lit. I love this option for when needed, but not practical when you look into your thing’s. They could have opted fir at least a 3 level lamp in that table corner. Also above the bed, they are neons…so noisy it was aggravating !

The beds are clean from what we can tell. and slept well.

The parking is included and enough space.

No breakfast but this is mentioned.

I was by myself and had 2 queens bedroom. They don’t seem to have one bed rooms. Which they should rethink and give more space. If we would have been two or more…we would have lacked wardrobe and counter space.

In general, great cheap option if you are looking to save some bucks. Personally I’d would have paid the 40$ extra to get an apt in a rental website for the space and feeling more at home option.

But this is perfect for people who want to save, youngsters or anyone who is also in and out of the city or looking just for a room to sleep at night and explore this cute city.

Voilà...

Very nice people working the front desk. The hotel offers interior parking which comes in handy especially for snowy nights. We came here for a tournament then had to book again because of a snow storm passing through. Our first night was spent in room 420 then the second night we stayed in room 437. Both rooms were identical except for room 420 had mirrored closet doors while the other did not--not have those doors made the sink area roomier. But both rooms were spacious: two beds, tv, and a small fridge. Room 437 was located next to the ice machine and drink dispenser. We could hear the ice machine but it wasn't enough to keep us from sleeping well. The beds were comfortable and it seemed to me that there were two types of pillows; so you could pick which one was more comfortable for you. Yes there was a fitness room as well as swimming pool, but we didn't go to either so I couldn't tell you what condition they were in. We enjoyed our stay here,...

Desk service was fine, polite well spoken . The room how ever was a nightmare. It was my son and my first time at a hotel and we were so disappointed. Everything from loose tiles in the shower to mold in the ventilation. The in room coffee machine was so nasty .the water section was full of idk but it can not be safe .cigarette burn home in a none smoking room. My sons cat and dog allergies were acting up when I requested a no pet room .the refrigerator in the room was so loud and there was loud music all night . Again my first time so next time I will inspect and complain before accepting a room .the price on the site was lower then the group rate we got as well .we stayed in room 234 on Feb 15/16 . 177$ it cost for 1 night in a nasty room .the pics will show I'm not...
