Where to Stay Near Lac Simon: A Guide to Choosing Your Lodging in Duhamel

Rooms, suites or an apartment: here is how to choose where to stay near Lac Simon based on your group size, budget and plans.

Planning a getaway in the Petite-Nation and wondering where to stay near Lac Simon? In Duhamel, the Motel du Lac Simon offers three types of lodging, open year-round: rooms, suites and an apartment. Here is how to choose the one that fits your group, your budget and your travel style.

Lodging at Lac Simon at a Glance

  • Classic Rooms (12): from $140 / night. The essentials, done well.
  • Comfort Suites (4): from $225 / night. More space and a full kitchen.
  • Signature Apartment (1): from $850 for 2 nights. Sleeps up to 9.

These are “from” prices: the exact amount depends on your dates and is shown when you book.

Classic Rooms: For a Night on the Road or a Weekend at the Lake

If you want a simple, comfortable place to land, this is your option. Each room has one bedroom and a bathroom with a tub-shower, towels and a hair dryer. You will also find:

  • a 43-inch smart TV (no cable);
  • a small work desk;
  • a small fridge, a microwave and a drip coffee maker;
  • a wall-mounted air conditioner and bed linens.

Choosing the right room comes down to the beds:

  • Room 1: one queen bed, for 2 guests. Ideal for a couple or a solo traveller. It also has grab bars at the toilet and the tub-shower.
  • Rooms 2, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 11: two queen beds, up to 4 guests. Handy for two couples or a family.
  • Rooms 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12: one queen bed and a sofa bed, up to 4 guests. A good fit for parents with kids.

Most rooms also have an outdoor bistro table with two chairs, perfect for morning coffee. For a detailed comparison, see the Classic Rooms page.

Comfort Suites: More Room to Slow Down

Four suites, A to D, sleep up to 5 guests with two queen beds and a sofa bed in the living room. Their big advantage is a fully equipped kitchen (stove, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and coffee maker), plus a dining room. You cook your own meals, stretch out in the living room, and the stay takes on the pace of a real home.

Suites A and B each have two large 65-inch smart TVs. Suites C and D have one. Choose this option for a family, a stay of a few nights or a group that wants to eat together. All the details are on the Comfort Suites page.

The Signature Apartment: For Stays That Matter

One apartment only (No. 17), designed for larger groups: up to 9 guests, 3 closed bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The sleeping arrangement includes a king bed, two queen beds and a double-over-single bunk bed with a trundle bed.

The kitchen is fully equipped, with a dining room and a large table. The spacious, window-filled living room has a 75-inch smart TV. The four-season sunroom holds a foosball table and a games table. A washer and dryer are in the apartment, a real plus for longer stays. See the photos and details on the Signature Apartment page.

Travelling with a Pet

Pets are accepted in certain units only:

  • Accepted: Classic Rooms 1 to 6, Comfort Suites A and B.
  • Not accepted: Classic Rooms 7 to 12, Comfort Suites C and D, Signature Apartment.

Fees apply, and the details are shown when you book. If your companion is coming along, reserve a unit from the first list.
