Motel Bellefeuille (Trois-Rivières, Canada)

If you're looking for a place to stay where staff take the time to chat with you and come out and help you with your bags when you look like you're struggling then this motel will undoubtedly appeal to you. Plenty of old-school hospitality here.

Any traveller who is bored of staying in the generic, IKEA-inspired accommodations that have become so synonymous with modern budget hotels will surely appreciate the warm, almost quaint appeal of the guest rooms here.

Being so close to Autoroute 40 means this hotel is a very easy place to find when you're travelling by car. Indeed, many visitors have found it to be an ideal overnight stopping-off spot whilst driving to/from Toronto.

With no restaurant on-site and very few restaurants around within easy strolling distance, you're not exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to eating locally when staying here. If you get a hankering for a hot meal then chances are you'll have to drive or tuck into a delicious microwave meal...

You'd better hope that guests staying in neighbouring rooms are the shy and retiring types who enjoy early nights: the walls that separate the accommodations aren't that great at stopping noise from travelling...

...It comes and it goes, then it comes back and goes again. Sometimes it even sticks around for a while, more so when you sit out on the balcony.
