I live in Canada and I am used to the cold winter conditions. The hotel was cold everywhere I went including the lobby and restaurant. The shower was just luke warm. The room was clean and service was ok.

The hotel is new and everything is top notch. My only issue was the limited amount of English speaking staff !! We had issues in the restaurant both the evening we arrived as well as breakfast. There were no menu’s in English and no one there who could explain the French menu to us. We both ended up with meals that weren’t what we thought we were having at dinner and breakfast. I guess that is our problem for traveling to Quebec to vacation. It’s rarely an issue anywhere else in Quebec and we stayed at another Hotel Universal just south of the St Lawrence and English was commonly spoken.
