We stayed at the Auberge Objectif Sante for a couple of nights last week. It is in a very much French speaking part of Canada and is run by a Chinese couple where the husband speaks very little English of French. I found using google translate on the phone was an effective means of communication. The lady appears to speak passable English and French. When we checked in we were asked for payment before being sent to our room. The room itself was very small but we had expected this. It was okay for two nights but the lack of bedside tables was a bit of negative. The bed itself was the fold down type that could be folded up against the wall. It was quite comfortable. They asked if we wanted the housekeeping service on our middle night and we said that we did not need this. Despite being small, the room was quite adequate for cleanliness but one single very small bit of soap in the bathroom was not quite enough. They offer breakfast at extra cost and I would recommend taking this. The breakfasts were very good and set us up for the remainder of the day. Chambly is the nearby town which styles itself as a suburb of Montreal. We ate there on our first evening and were pleasantly surprised by it's vibrancy and nightlife. Sadly there are very few places to stay in the vicinity and Chambly is too far to walk from The Auberge Objectif Sante. We also took a day trip to Montreal and found that we were well placed to drive to the metro station at Longeuil. A tip is to park in the public parking at Hotel Sandeman. The Metro station is immediately adjacent. So would I recommend the Hotel Auberge Objectif Sante? If you are looking for a full hotel, then definitely not. If you are looking for a modest motel that is well kept, clean and you don't mind having to drive everywhere, then it is okay . For the price, there were no real problems.

I have to say that this stay has been one of the worst and most frustrating experiences I've had at a hotel. Short version is that we booked a week with 2 rooms at this hotel at the end of July/early August 2023. We did the same last year at pretty much the same time (mid-August). Last year, rates were about 65% cheaper. I understand that everything has increased in price across the industry and I knew the rate when I booked. The issue I had, other that the rooms smelling like mildew and old stinky feet, is that there was a laminated notice in the room upon our arrival stating that no one would be cleaning the room, due to ”staffing issues”. For our entire stay, no one entered to room to clean, or replace towels, soap, or even refill the coffee/sugar etc. If we needed anything, we had to go to the front desk to ask or chase down the cleaning staff cleaning the rooms for new arrivals for clean towels. This may sound petty, but when you pay premium prices, you expect better. Nowhere did they advise that we would have to fend for yourself when booking, and by the time we found out, it was too late to cancel or move to another hotel. In my opinion, this is unacceptable. You raise your rates by 65% and can't find staff? Maybe offer a 65% better wage and I'm sure you will find staff to fill the position. Having a laminated sign in the room looks like the exception has become the policy to save/make more money from unsuspecting guests. Read the past reviews like I should have; this laminated sign has been in the rooms since May 2023 at least! Sounds like they are focused on saving money by cutting corners. What’s next, recycling the bed sheets without washing them?? After all, this isn't a vacation rental... Also, not all rooms are the same. There is a renovated side which looks much better. They gave us a king room on the ground floor which was obviously on the older side. It smelled of mildew and was infested with ants. It looked nothing like the pictures on the website which are from the newer side. They reluctantly switched us to a better room on the newer side after getting approval from the manager, but this one smelled of stinky feet. We stayed there and just kept the patio doors open for the remainder of our stay to try and air out the place. I recommend you stay away from this hotel until they get new management...

We stayed here for two nights, to attend a wedding nearby. This motel is right off the highway, so is convenient for taking a break from driving a long distance. We found the beds to be comfortable, the rooms were clean, the towels were nice and fluffy. We brought our own pillows so cannot comment on theirs. There is coffee in the lobby in the mornings. You have your choice of going to McDonald's (to the right) or La Belle Province (walking distance on the left) which has a varied menu.

Nice hotel.

Resident in this motel for one night, I got a room, barely opened the door, a smell of mold appeared, traces of non-cleaning are evident, traces of dust also. The toilets and the bathroom have been cleaned ”in a hurry”, the door as well as the air conditioning and the bathroom part have visible traces of mold. I greatly doubt the hygiene of the place and the risks that this could bring for visitors.

The hotel was very comfortable and wasteful in the courtyard and in the pool. The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable. Waste in front of the door, drawings on the walls, floating floor lifting, water all over the floor of the room, chair eaten by something, squeezed bathroom towel, dirty dishes, not washed boards because smell of cigarettes, Gondolling ceiling, sticks stick on the tape, hole in the door of the bathroom, dirt on the plate of current and moreover, there was no electricity and we see outside when the door was closed. The hotel was very comfortable and the hotel was very comfortable. The answer I got was ”It's only the owner who can repay you and he is not there.” At the same time, another client pulls the keys on the account and wants to be repaid too. To date I have still not been repaid. The weekend employee admitted to me outside that he would not sleep in this hotel. The hotel is in a lamentable and unhealthy state. Don't get by the photos taken very long ago !!!

I had a family event to attend and was in Boucherville for only one night. Everything just worked well for my needs. Great staff, great room and great location. Although brief, my stay was very pleasant. I would highly recommend this as a hotel.

We stayed at the hotel October 14-15, 2023. The hotel experienced a power outage that resulted in us not having power for 13 of the 16 hours we were guests. The power went out at ~10pm when we were still awake, we woke up at midnight because our room was very warm due to the air condition being out as a result of the power still being out. When we spoke with the front desk staff, the staff member did not share our concern and said someone would be coming in the morning to deal with an electrical issue. We explained since the outage was localized to our side of the hotel on the first floor, we thought the problem was a breaker that literally just needed to be switched off and on again. We were told no staff member on site had a key to the breaker room, which is a concern in case of emergency. We felt like we were held hostage in our room because the staff member also told us that if we left the room locked (we'd propped the door open to go talk to them), we might not be able to get back in, since there's no manual way to open the door if the key pad is not working. We couldn't leave because we couldn't pack in the dark. We also couldn't do anything in our room due to the power outage and were unable to sleep because the room was so hot without A.C., we sat in the dark for hours. Finally, the breakfast at the hotel was awful. The dishes were dirty, the cream for the coffee expired and became all chunky when poured in, and my wife got sick from what she ate. When we explained the above at checkout, we were informed that the front desk staff couldn't do anything about the above issues and were unable to compensate us for the very poor experience. The staff took no initiative at all to try and contact a manager or come up with any solutions. When we asked to speak to a manager, they took our information and told us that management would reach out. No manger contacted us, despite our repeated attempts to contact them by phone and email. We reached out to both the Sales Manager (Sabra) and the General Manager (Lucie Bergeron) repeatedly, as well as the general email for the hotel and received no reply. Over two months later, through our persistence, we were put through to Sabra Rezigue who was quite rude and was in a hurry to get us off the phone. Sabra said that our multiple emails had ended up in her spam folder and she did not receive them (despite our cc'ing multiple emails at the hotel). She did not have any good explanation for staff that were successfully emailed not making any attempt to contact us back or forward our complaint to a manager. She attempted to blame Hydro Quebec for the power outage despite our explaining that the problem was only in our wing of the hotel and the rest of the hotel had power. Ultimately, Sabra told us that she had to deal with another client and cut the call short. We were not contacted by Sabra again despite her assurance that she would get back to us same day and were only compensated a refund of half t

When I booked this hotel it did not mention it was being renovated. It also said there was free hot breakfast included... When I arrived I found the hotel is under major renovation. The front entrance was closed and you had to navigate around construction barriers to find the temporary registration doors at the back of the hotel. Check-in was easy. However I was informed that the free hot breakfast was not available and instead given a brown paper bag containing a bagel, small orange juice and a fruit cup. I assumed to was because of the construction going on. I was not told that is was due to the COVID pandemic, nor was I told there are no room service for more than 1 night stays... In the room, there was no water pressure coming from the shower head and there was no dish or ledge to put the soap and cloth. I complained about this water pressure and no shelf for soap to front counter. I don’t think they understood me as nothing was done about it. ( I was speaking English...they were limited in English, spoke mainly French) The pillows supplied are small and square. THey are very soft too. I needed 4-5 of these pillows to fall asleep. In the morning I tried the shower again and still no pressure. I left for my business meetings that day without showering beforehand, but before I left, I spoke with the front desk clerk about the water issues and expected them to fix by the time I came back to the room that evening... To no avail, there was still no water pressure. I packed my bags and checked out 1 day early. The hotel refused to issue me a refund for the 2nd night, even though I did not sleep there. They said I needed to give them 24hrs notice!! Also the location isn’t ideal as there is no restaurant on-site. So I had a cold breakfast in a bag and no shower before a few very important business meetings. Very disappointing stay at Comfort Inn. My company will be staying elsewhere from now on when travelling to Quebec.
