The picture shown of the property is not the property I stayed in. Very misleading!!! The property is not on the beach. It's in a residual/business area a couple of blocks from the waterfront. I chose a private room which I liked but it was above the outdoor dining area of the pub below so noisy & cigarette smoke until 11 p.m. I couldn't open my windows which was very uncomfortable since there's no air conditioning & my stay was in July. Staff was nice (men only). Breakfast was included-continential.

Ce n’est pas mon premier arrêt à La Secousse et je dois dire que je suis généralement satisferaite de mon court séjour mais l’an dernier l’accueil avait été exceptionnel, le dejeuner avait été copieux (muffins biscuits, oeufs et toasts) et l’ambiance etait imcroyable. Cette année le staff était plutôt malpoli… une personne tuait les mouches autour de ous tandisqu’on mangeait dans la cuisine principale en plus qu’il ait manqué tact avec mon chum la veille. Je ne crois pas y retourner, mais je garde de bons souvenirs de l’an dernier.

Great location, great staff, a good seaside stay!

Good location, friendly staff, a bit noisy, would benefit from sound proof insulation in the floor over the bar downstair. Since bed was not the most comfortable, don’t be afraid to ask for extra pillows. Staff was amazing!

Nous avons passé un moment absolument fantastique dns cette auberge ,accueil,commodité,services ,connexions et emplacement chambre avec super vue sur le St Laurent. J avais fortement souhaité depuis Quebec de retrouver un piano quelque part afin de jouer ….a ma plus grande surprise on retrouve un super piano dns le grand bar salon ,resto de la Secousse ou j ai donc pu en profiter. Ainsi puisque mon reve pianissimo est devenu realité je donne les 5 étoiles…sns oublier le cherry on the top …Wifii fonctionnait parfaitement ainsi qu un tres confortable lit …Merci a tout le personel de la Secousse !
