About this property

Welcome to Motel Royal

Located on the shores of Lac Témiscouata in Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, Motel Royal offers straightforward accommodations with a focus on relaxation and natural surroundings. The property features low-key, air-conditioned rooms, some equipped with kitchenettes, and provides free Wi-Fi and parking. It welcomes both families and pets, catering to guests seeking a quiet, smoke-free environment.

A key benefit of staying here is the motel’s waterside setting, which guests frequently praise for its peacefulness and scenic views. Many rooms overlook the lake, providing a tranquil atmosphere appreciated by visitors. While amenities are modest—there is no pool or fitness center—onsite dining options are available, and the ferry service offers convenient access to the nearby Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata, known for its hiking, biking, and boating opportunities.

Guests generally describe the rooms as clean and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches such as coffee machines and microwaves. Some reviews note that noise travels between rooms, reflecting the building’s simple construction, but this does not outweigh the overall positive experience reported by most visitors. Friendly and helpful staff contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, making Motel Royal a practical choice for travelers passing through or exploring the Lac Témiscouata area.

Its location places it roughly 12 kilometers from the Musee du Temiscouata and about 45 kilometers from the national park, while the nearest airport, Aéroport régional de Mont-Joli, is approximately an hour and 40 minutes away by car. Close by, Motel Cabano Relais offers an alternative lodging option, located less than a mile from this property.

A great spot to lay your head after a long day of driving. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Basic but clean. Note you hear your neighbours a lot. But would definitely stay here again.

So far, so good. The room is very clean with lots of towels. The beds are comfortable, and the sheets are adequate. There's a coffee machine with pods,a microwave, and a bar fridge. There aren't any utensils. However, I'm sure some could be available if requested. Good for the 4 days I'm here for work. The view is what sells the place; right on Lac Temiscouata, you wake up to nature at its finest!

Very good motel for a stopover travelling in winter. Basic, but super clean, with nice details like a coffee machine with pods and friendly innkeepers. Would come back here in the summer as well. Just too bad the pub wasn't open!

This is our favourite hotel to stop at while travelling from Ontario to the east coast. The rooms are nice, clean and most have a really nice view. The owners speak English and are always friendly and welcoming. Love this place and I would recommend it to anyone.

Room was clean, well serviced, view was amazing from lake side during summer. Little beach and dock within walking distance, would definitely come back! Beautiful gem of a place.

Overall nothing fancy but clean, well priced and very helpful staff. The view from the lake facing balconies is stunning.. I stayed there on my way to and from PEI and even though it made for a longer drive on one of days from southwestern Ontario I will stay there again the next time I vacation down east. :)

Great spot, friendly staff, room was spotless and surprisingly spacious. I got there when it was dark and was so pleasantly surprised to wake up to the nice lake view. :) An enjoyable stopover on route to Ontario.
