Pros:

Very comfortable, good bathroom and bed, good panorama, nice staffs.

Cons:

Inside the room, bathroom and room itself are in good condition. But, the room entrance door and window to balcony are too old and door handle are coming off - although there is radiator (heater) but since window and door are old the room is just warm (during the day) - not warm enough, especially this time of year where lots of rain, wind and temperature goes down suddenly during the night.

Hôtel nickel, au calme tout en étant au centre
Pros:

Dans le centre, proche des festivités, ce qui permet de tout faire à pied. L’hôtel est propre, bien entretenu, le personnel super agréable. Notre chambre très simple pour le prix (mais c’était durant le week-end consacré à Freddie), mais nickel au niveau propreté, très bonne literie, au calme tout en étant au centre. Le parking payant est à réserver à l’avance.

Hotel should start to do reno soon. Lobby is ok but room is rather old
Pros:

walking distance to the seaside with great views. Bus stop is very near and there is a Chinese rest nearby which serve great chinese food

Cons:

Book a family room but light switch not working and have to sleep with lights "on". Offer to change us to 2 rooms but not connected and 1 of the room has 2 doors (meaning have to open 2 doors before you can go inside). So we decided to sleep in 1 room but they offer us a bigger room but only 1 queen size bed.
