Rawdon Golf Resort

La grandeur de la chambre et sa cheminée !

Le sol un peu froid ( béton )

Bien situé et personnelle très gentilles et accommodantes

Well the place was very clean and I would absolutely stay here again and again

Here is what we liked: 1) The parking is free, on the private grounds of the resort and only a few steps away from the stairs. The hotel mentions that it is ''Street parking'' but it is actually better. 2) The room was clean and comfortable with quality bed-sheets; there was a small refrigrator, a coffee maker, a toaster and a microwave, all practical items along with dishes and cutlery. The bathroom was quite spacious with a nice walk-in shower. 3) The view of the lake that we had in our unit (No. 3), was enjoyable; the hotel mentions ''View - Lake view'' which seems to indicate that all rooms have a similar view but only the rooms facing the back have it and none of those have a balcony. Other rooms, facing the front, have a view of the road and very little of the ''far away'' golf course. 4) The location across from the golf course is great, especially for golfers. 5) The television was big with a good selection of cable-channels, mostly in French. 6) The WI-FI was free and adequate. 6) The check-out being at 12:00 PM is a real treat.

We always liked Rawdon as a getaway from Montreal and this time, we stayed at the Rawdon Golf Resort but we were disappointed. Here is why: 1) The stairs to go up to the room; they are very steep with a ramp that is very rough that can give you splinters. Difficult to imagine having to go up in a winter snowstorm, in the summer heat or during freezing rain with absolutely no help with the luggage. The description stipulates: ''Accessibility-Upper floors accessible by stairs only'' but ALL TEN ROOMS are on the second floor and reached by the stairway as the ground floor is utilized for conferences or as a venue for weddings or other special events. 2) There is no one on the premises; we got the access code by text to open the door but only about 20 minutes before 3:00 PM so we were a bit worried. We did meet, by pure chance, someone that confirmed the access code. 3) There was no information in the room; we were told that there would be a booklet but there was none in our unit; maybe it would have explained how to use the fireplace. 4) There was nowhere to eat although the resort writes ''1 restaurant on site'' and ''there is a restaurant serving American cuisine'', the restaurant Gordie's, located in the Club House of the golf-course, closed Sunday at 4:00 PM and did not open at all on Monday, so we had to take the car and drive all the way into town to eat. 5) The grounds of the hotel are more like a construction site, and a dangerous one, with doors of the space being worked on, not even closed or locked. We were expecting greenery and clean surrounding, not so. 6) The resort writes:: ''The nearest airport is Montréal/St-Hubert Airport, 82 km from Rawdon Golf Resort'' and then ''Closest airports Montréal/St-Hubert Airport-63.5 km''. Although this was of no concern to us, why such disparity in the information given? Details are important.
