Hôtel Du Fjord

The hotel has an interesting history. It was clean, the bathroom had a bath and not just a shower, the room was mostly quiet, and all the staff were very pleasant. Plenty of parking.

Maybe we should have done more research and only stayed for one night, but the Hotel du Fjord is nowhere near the Saguenay Fjord and while we could lean over the balcony for a very distant sideways view of the river, ours actually overlooked a large car park and waste bins. Apart from very nice sourdough bread, the breakfast was of poor quality despite the friendly waitress, and was served in the nightclub bar that had its bar furniture rather crudely moved aside and the blinds opened for breakfast. Apart from the nice ensuite, the decor of the rooms is drab and uninviting. The hotel management needs to improve its breakfasts, modernise its rooms, re-claim the nightclub/bar as a proper hotel public room, and stop overselling itself online ... or it'll get more disappointed visitors like us. Saguenay itself was a disappointment apart from the La Pulperie complex, which has a great exhibition of Arthur Villeneuve's life, work ... and his house!
