Super chambre très grande et tranquille! La salle de bain manque un peu d’amour mais ça ne nous a pas dérangé. Le fait d’avoir un extérieur est vraiment génial, avec un espace de pit à feu face a la mer…c’est sublime! Un gros plus dont on a bien profité :)
Excellent service de la part de Chantal qui nous a dépanné pour un séjour de 3 jours à la dernière minute. Nous avons resté dans un joli appartement à un prix raisonnable avec une vue incroyable sur la mer. Les lieux étaient très propre et sécuritaire et un coin à l’extérieur avec feu sont disponibles pour les clients du motel ainsi qu’une buanderie. Je recommande fortement Le Motel camping des Ancêtres et je vais certainement revenir aux prochaines vacances en Gaspésie.
Je vois de mauvais commentaire et je ne suis pas d'accord, d'abord nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement, nous avions un petit appartement en haut avec cuisinette et chambre a coucher, les armoires complètes il ne manque rien et c'est très propre partout. La vie est magnifique. Si nous repassons dans le coin on y reviendra et je le recommande. Merci Madame pour votre bon accueil
Camping in a tent, and this was a pretty nice surprise. That being said, having to pay 25c for a shower felt a bit much.
Perfect location on top of the hill, you will see the ocean. Very friendly owner. Room was good, standard equipped. Close to the Forillon National Park and several beaches where we swam.
I certainly don't want to mislead anyone to think that this place is a 4 star by any standards, but this review is based on the experience, price, convenience and location. We rented a 2 bedroom apartment for a group of 4 which was very affordable compared to anything else in the area. I must say the place is a bit outdated and needs a bit of TLC, but for our purpose, it was totally fine. Not meant for fancy people but if you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay, get some rest and enjoy the trails in the area, it's totally fine. The owners are very nice, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They're knowledgeable about the area and will help you with anything you require to make your stay more comfortable.
Located in front of a small scenic pond up the hill, host is very helpful and friendly
Quiet little chalet which is very conveniant for anyone wanting to visit forillon national park and its surrounding areas. For anyone who is complaining about renovations, the place is not a 5 star hotel and it should be obvious before renting. The staff is very honest, good prices and just all around very comfortable place. Chantal and her husband's service was a 10/10 and i recommend anyone to stop by here for a quiet stay or for any last minute reservations as they do their best to give out a helping hand to visitors.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
