Motel de la Gare

Richmond

We had a nice stay. Two things to correct: the douche on the bed was stained and the fridge would have needed cleaning. Perfect for a night.

Perfect for a night out.

This is the former CN railway station that has been turned into a motel.  The room we stayed in was actually the bunkroom kitchen when I travelled there on the railroad.  The motel is clean and quiet but there is no elevator to take one to the second floor.  The only drawback.

Nostalgia

I have stayed at this location twice before.  I have had the pleasure of staying in the same room each time.  This time I stayed in this same room.  The room was large enough for one person.  The bed was comfortable and the room was clean.  If the tiles in the tub area could be cleaned better it would present better. This stay was with a new Owner.  He was very patient and kind.  I had been driving for many hours and it was late.  He charged me mistakenly.  It was a bit of a ordeal for both of us but it was corrected and all was well.  Due to the Motel's location it is not warm.  It would help if the Motel put on the heat in the rooms before the guest came so it would not take so long to become comfortable.  I have stayed here in the warmer weather and the air conditioning was fine.

Anice stay again

I have stayed at this motel on 2 occasions.  One was for a Family Funeral.  The second was for a visit.  I stayed in the same room both times.  I was happy with the size and it was exceptionally clean.  The owner was very accommodating and I felt as though I was staying with a Family Member as opposed to staying in a Motel.  The restaurant next door is good but not great but there are nice places in the town.  I like the fact there is the restaurant next door because I come from the USA and I don't feel like traveling to eat.  They also serve breakfast.

Very comfortable stay

We spent two nights here on a weekend getaway.   The motel is in a historic old train station...charming idea.  My friend and I shared a room with one double bed.  The room was tiny....really tiny, but was very  clean.  The double bed took up most of the space.  There was a mini fridge which was appreciated.   There is no phone in the room, no clock, no bedside table, minimal amount of towels in the bathroom. ..really not much there...bring your own hairdryer .  It is really bare bones.  What was alarming to us was the door lock system...the only lock was a "push-turn" lock like a typical home bathroom. ..no chain lock...no deadbolt. ..a tad scary.  The walls are thin and every sound from the hallway is very audible....foot steps, voices, doors closing. ..at all hours.  The front door to the building is locked at all times...and there is no one on duty after 9:30 pm.   It is over priced for what is offered.  We plan to be in the area again next year.  We will stay elsewhere. 

Not what was expected

We went to Richmond's old train station for lunch on a Sunday. My daughter and I served very quickly. It was very good. Prices are affordable. Lunch is good. Plates are well filled. The site is historic. It's all over the St. Francis River.
