Sainte-Thècle, Quebec hotel rooms at the Independent

"Helpful staff. Posted address for hotel reservation showed Shawinigan but motel was located in Grand mere, a sector of Shawinigan but confusing for Google maps which should help find the place easier. Signage could be improved especially at night to find the motel."

"Everything very nice!"

"Room was perfect"

"I have travelled numerous times to different places and this by far is the worst hotel I have been to. The sheets were dirty, there is no hot water, it feels unsafe, some of the bathrooms were shared that we did not know upon reserving (you have to pay extra for a private bathroom), lack of staff, you can here other guests talking outside the hallway to your bedroom. I don’t mind a hotel being old, I think it gives it a character, but was expecting it to be a little bit more well managed or at least clean and safe for a more pleasant experience. For some reason, I can feel a negative energy in this place and it looks so gloomy. If we had a choice, we would have left the place in a heartbeat even without refund but everywhere else around the area was either sold out or $1000 a night at Quebec City. Like what the other review had said, it feels like a Ghost hotel. Reminds me of The Nun movie. 😁 Goodluck. "
