The host was very friendly, the food was excelent. The room was well furnished and very comfortable. It was a great find! I can only imagine how nice it would be in the summer by the lake when all local merchants are open.

It's okay.
The hotel is set in the most beautiful picturesque North Hatley village. The hotel has been updated, and very quaint. The TV is very small, and the outlets aren't very reliable, but the tech shortcomings are more than made up with by the food, and the customer service. The bed is unfortunately very uncomfortable, but again, it does get made up by proximity to really great food.

Belle escapade en Estrie
L’auberge la chocolatière nous a charmé. La propreté des lieux, la vue sur le lac, le choix de déjeuner le lendemain, et bien sûr la boutique de chocolat font de cette destination un séjour inoubliable. Merci! Langis et Manon

Just spent a couple of nights at the auberge. Room was clean, the place was nice and quiet (note: during the off season). Staff were friendly and attentive. Everything went well up until checkout. We wanted to pay with our credit card and were told that we could not pay with a credit card. The gentleman told us that we had to pay with debit. We were never advised of their payment method at the time on their website nor at the time of booking. Since this is the only method of payment that they accept, it should be clearly specified, in advance. Just thought that any future clients should be aware of their lack of flexibility regarding methods of payment.

Reception whas poor and bossy: do this, don't do that. Handicapped persons facilities where inexistant: the room was on the second floor, no lift, no help for bagages. The advertised restaurant on site was closed. The overall price after add-ons was far too high for such a place.

Room was great. Would be a 5 star except for:* not friendly staff, hidden charges (significant breakfast gratuity which they don’t mention until checkout), paper cups instead of glasses in the room and the tiniest ‘bar’ of hard soap I had ever seen (no liquid soap). No sign of daily room service - not even garbage removal. A fine property that goes cheap on the small details.

The property is in an excellent location in this tourist town. The rooms are clean but the signs of hard times are evident (a miniscule soap, paper cups, leave your shoes outside the door) No reserved parking for guests. Menus intentionally in French only.

Hello, what you are saying is terrible; signs of hard times... What do you know about business to say something like this! for soap: do you know that 99% of all the soaps are not used by guests; Paper cups: don't you thing it is important to offer recycle cups instead of plastic cups??? Your shoes in the cabaret: we don't have carpet in the room so it's normal to take off your shoes before entering the room (I imagine you do the same at your house); There is a lot of parking on the street for everybody, guests or not, so what is the problem? Menu intentionally? in French... You judge us without knowing anything... Poor you... You maybe are a very unhappy person in life. Not able to see all the positif little attention you've got here! Sorry, your comment is not credible.

Auberge Chocolatiere room was clean and modern. Building is quiet and very accommodating with common sitting area. Delectible chocolate desserts! Only one small complaint - the digital display on the air conditioner is so bright it lights up the room at night, makes the room to light. This stay was a definate 9.5 / 10. We would return.

Disliked: Amenities
this place is the first one we ever encounter price cheating in Canada. We , 3 adults, booked 2 nights family room through Expedia with $647.36 after tax. However, business owner charged us $710.26. Asked why, the owner given some ridiculous excuses like, $3.5 person charge on breakfast, tips, our room is a kingbed room upgrade, etc. These numbers cannot match. This place people are dishonest, taking every possible chance stealing money from visitors.
Response from Team of the Auberge la Chocolatière on 6 Sept 2023
Sir, why didn't you say that you booked for 2 people but you arrived 3. It's not the same price for 3 people! especially that breakfast is included for all. On all confirmation email, it is written that we charge 3.50/person for breakfast tip (you were served by waiters in our Restaurant so it is normal to give tip. Our price is better than many other establisment and just read all the comments to understand how we are good people (a family of 7 kids who work to our Inn). Everybody tell us how they love to come to our inn and how the service is impeccable. You judge badly.

Place charmante et tranquille. Bel accueuil. Par contre, pas de frigo ou café dans la chambre et la TV est tres petite et tres haut sur le mur. Il y a un petit salon au 1er avec un frigo et une machine a café par contre. Portez attention. Pas de cartes de credit accepté et frais de service ajoutés a ton séjour pour le dejeuner meme si dejeuner inclu. Portez attention au courriel qui vous seras envoyé car ce n'est pas detaillee sur Expedia.

Bonjour, Tout d'abord, vous avez réservé une chambre sur un site au lieu de nous appeler pour avoir des infos de nos différentes catégories de chambres (avec frigo dans la chambre). Aussi, est-ce que déjeuner inclus veut dire automatiquement service inclus? Non. Vous avez été servi dans notre restaurant Bistro par des serveurs/serveuses qui payent leurs études avec le pourboire. Des gens comme vous pensent que le déjeuner inclus veut dire service inclus car vous avez dit ne pas savoir que vous seriez chargée pour ce 3.50 pour le pourboire déjeuner lors de votre check-out, (très clairement écrit dans le courriel de confirmation des sites), et pourtant, vous n'avez rien laissé sur la table comme pourboire après avoir été servi d'un déjeuner d'une valeur de 25/personne. Alors c'est pourquoi nous devons le charger automatiquement sur la facture . Vous mentionnez que l'on ne prend pas de crédit, c'est faux. Nous acceptons carte de débit et argent pour les réservations de chambres seulement et aucun problème pour le restaurant. Et si vous allez dans certains restaurants, et bien ils ajoutent un frais de service de 2% sur la facture (en sus des taxes et pourboire)...

Made a one-night stop on way to Quebec City. Great location near a beautiful lake, with restaurants and brew pubs nearby. Room was on the small side, but very clean and with all the necessary amenities. Staff were friendly and helpful. If you love chocolate, you can't go wrong here, as they sell homemade chocolates and pastries in the front lobby. We enjoyed it.
