About this property
Welcome to Motel des Pays d'en Haut
Motel des Pays d'en Haut is a low-rise property located on Highway 117 in Val-David, Quebec, offering straightforward accommodations with essential amenities. Guests can enjoy free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast, free parking, and an outdoor pool, while the pet-friendly and kid-friendly environment adds to its practical appeal. The motel also features air-conditioned rooms and accessibility options, alongside a bar and hot tub for added convenience. Despite the absence of an on-site restaurant or fitness center, the presence of a golf course nearby complements a stay focused on relaxation and easy access to outdoor activities.
The rooms are basic and clean, though somewhat dated, reflecting guest comments about the property's older style. While the décor might feel reminiscent of past decades, reviewers generally appreciate the cleanliness and comfort, as well as attentive management. Some guests note dim lighting in rooms or occasional issues with hot water, suggesting that the experience may vary slightly.
Positioned just 1.4 km from the Vallée Bleue ski area and within a short drive of regional parks and downtown Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, the motel is well-suited for visitors exploring the Laurentians. Popular nearby ski resorts such as Sommet Saint Sauveur and Belle Neige enhance the location's appeal for winter sports enthusiasts. The proximity to Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, approximately 57 minutes by car, makes it accessible for travelers arriving by air.
While the property’s modest rating and mixed reviews indicate it is not a luxury destination, Motel des Pays d'en Haut offers practical accommodation primarily geared toward budget-conscious visitors or those seeking a convenient base for outdoor activities. The friendly staff and straightforward services may appeal to guests prioritizing cleanliness and location over upscale amenities.

When I first opened the door to my room I noticed the whirlpool and mirror above the bed, and figured this is where they filmed francophone porn in the early 80's. Yes, the place is dated but it does the important stuff right: 1.The rooms and bathrooms are clean. 2.The coffee with breakfast is excellent. 3.The family who run the place are very nice. Because of the above, four stars. I've stayed at so called boutique hotels who can't get those 3 all spot on.

Nous avions la chambre #35.Très bien comme motel.On s’entend pour que le nom de l’établissement :les pays d’en hauts ça date de loin donc la place est vieille mais propre.Le propriétaire très sympathique et courtois.Ce n’est pas le luxe mais c’est correct. L’importance c’est que les lits étaient confortables et proche de tout.

A good place to spend the night up North. Close to restaurants, hiking trails and spas. Very clean and carefully maintained. Price in range with other motels in the area.

8.0
stayed there a few days ago: new management I guess: no dog or cat to meet you but room was clean, bathroom and toilet very clean and I guess the water supply comes from the top of Mont Tremblant because the water pressure in the shower or bathtub is incredible. Small fridge in room: sorry no flat screen but tv with cable. It was a hot weekend and the small pool was cold but clean with a bbq at your disposal Breakfast included was fine (coffee, tea or milk, cereal, bagels and toast, juice and so on) No complaints: its not the Fairmont but my cost single was $104.00 with tx No complaints
