The Adams Motel is located in downtown Gaspe. This hotel is part of the Rodeway Inn banner, member of the Choice Hotels group. So stays at the Adams Motel gives you Choice Privileges points. The property This motel being located in the heart of the town, there are many restaurants around at a walking distance, such as a Tim Horton’s restaurant next to the hotel. This property has three main buildings detached from one another, around a large free parking lot. In high season, like during my stay, it can be difficult to find a space to park your car next to your room. Independently from the room you will get, there is no view on the sea or on the York River basin. There is not real lobby in this hotel, but a reception desk, which is also used as the counter for the bus terminal. We are really in a typical motel configuration from the ‘50 and ‘60. The room My room is medium in size and has the basic accommodations. There is a working desk, quite large, but without rolling chair. There is a power outlet accessible from the desk, useful to connect a computer. The floor is covered with a carpet. There is also a Keurig capsules coffee machine, a fridge, as well as a small round table with two chairs. The coffee machine is very dirty and I had to rinse it many times to remove the old coffee residues from the water. The air conditioning is very noisy. On the night stand there is a very useful charging module pour electronic devices (power outlet and USB connections). The closet doesn’t have any door. There is no ironing board or iron. There is a plastic platter to put boots in. Useful to keep the floor clean mostly in winter. The room is badly soundproof. My room is located on the ground floor and I can hear the steps and the voices of people on the second floor. The bathroom The bathroom is tiny and divided in two. The toilet and the bath are in a very small closed room and the counter and the sink are in a small alcove in the room. All is clean and well maintained. Services Not a lot of services are available on site, no gym and no pool. The breakfast is not included in the room fare. But there are many restaurants nearby from walking distances that offers breakfast. The internet access (Wi-Fi) is free and extremely slow. Don’t count on this connection to watch streaming TV or to work online. It is very long to simply open a web page. The connection at the Tim Horton’s restaurant next door is much better. The hotel personnel told us that they were having technical issue and that the connection quality was usually much better. The devil is in the details: - Noisy air conditioning Pros - Right in downtown Gaspe - Choice Privilege points Cons - Very bad internet connection (technical issue) - Bad soundproofing - Very small bathroom
