The final night of my solo cycle trip was booked  by Equinox into the Motel Lac St. Jean located between Chambord and Desbiens right on the shore of the lake and directly accessible from the Veloroute des Bluets. As other reviewers have noted, the location is beautiful with the rooms looking out over the lake. I got in around 1 pm, was able to get into my room right away and bring my bike inside. The manager was very helpful, offered me a Smile Cookie and lent me a kettle so that I could boil water for my tea. He also gave me a breakfast box since, with the COVID-19 precautions, this would be my only interaction with him during my stay (barring an emergency).  In the fridge in my room was a bottle of orange juice, an apple and a bottle of water. On the table were a coffee maker, toaster, paper plates and cups, three slices of fresh bread along with packets of butter, jams, and peanut butter. The breakfast box included yogurt, blueberries, granola, a large muffin and cheese. I should also note that the room was very clean, quiet and had a TV and internet. This was one of my favourite overnight stops during my five day cycle around Lac St. Jean.

Cycling during pandemic

We were cycling around Lac St. Jean and this was our day four stopover. The gentleman at the reception desk could not have been more pleasant upon our arrival. Our room was large and very clean. We had a bistro table and two chairs in our room, which is very important as you must bring your food with you. The patio at the back of our motel room was 50 feet from Lac St. Jean. Each room has a patio table with 4 chairs to sit and relax while you enjoy this incredible view. Cyclists, I suggest you stop in Roberval at the Maxi (1 block from the Veloroute des Bleuets), or the Co-op in Chambord and pick up your water, beer, wine and any food you will need for snacks and dinner. This is a must stop for anyone visiting the Lac St. Jean area. Thanks to all the other Trip Advisor reviewers who made certain we stopped for food and drinks before arriving.

A jewel of a find.

Final night of 5 day bike trip around Lac St Jean. Location is excellent, right off bike trail and on the lake. Room was clean, well stocked with towels and had great shower. Breakfast provided as “snack pack” in fridge (COVID 19). Coffee maker provided with Colombian ground coffee. No fresh milk, just powdered.
Stored bikes in room for the night 
At back of room, doors lead to patio, with table and 4 chairs, overlooking lake.
Wood available for fire beside beach
Lake Water was clean and great way to cool off post cycle.
No restaurant/ bar service available but menus provided for take out service from 2 local restaurants. Adequate.
We did stop on way in at the SAQ co-op to buy beer/ wine for dinner but could have ordered with food. In retrospect, it may have been preferable to buy food for dinner there also but there was no way of reheating in motel.

Great location, clean

Typical motel with exceptional view right on the lake shore.
We arrived early and were made very welcome and shown to our room straight away. A pleasant room with a stunning view and well kept gardens between the building and the lake shore. The room was very clean but the bed was not very comfortable. Breakfast is adequate but some hot food would be appreciated.

Lake side stop over

Room is large and from the back you can access a small patio to the lake.  The availability of food and lack of items for breakfast needs to be addressed.  We were on a bike trip and shortly after eating were hungry again.  Need some protein besides peanut butter.   Owner very nice and makes you feel welcome.  We ordered from a local restaurant recommended by the hotel.  When our food arrived we noticed NO dressing for the Cesar salad but I managed to catch our young delivery guy who found it in his car somewhere.  When my wife opened the pizza box we noticed it was not cut, mentioned this again to the driver who told us you have to ask to have it cut.  Have ordered many pizza's and never had to ask to have it cut.  Anyway we managed to cut it with your plastic knife and both pizza and salad were delicious.  If we were in the area again we would stay at this Motel

beautiful view and friendly service

I got here at 8 pm 
Very late to look for anther place 
The room is very dirty 
There are many  pets hair at the floor ( I have allergies with the pet) even there are animals hair on the tv remote control 
There is a sofa at the corner I can’t even touch it 
Very old and dirty 
The bed sheets are clean it the cover is very dirty and old 
I love the view . You can see the Lac perfectly but the room is dirty 
There are no phone in the room 
There are some very old dirty menu 
I scare to touch anything 
But I love the view

Dirty room , old dirty sofa , old dirty bed cover set

The motel is some kilometers outside Chambord  on the shore of the lake. Our room was large and clean,  not different from any motel room, but showed its age. A small patio opened behind the room on the garden separating the motel from the shore of the lake. With few steps you were on the lake where you could take a stroll  along the shore until the end of the small bay (only a few minutes’ walk). At the end of the bay a small fishing pier (illuminated at night) gives you the opportunity to enjoy the lake view. 
Unfortunately you pay a price for the lake view. There was no coffee machine in the room. Breakfast was buffet style but average: no juices, no eggs, ham or cheese and  the breakfast room was not so clean as we would have liked. Consider there are no close restaurants.  
Is this motel worth a stopover? Well its value is just the position on the lake’s shore but some faults are evident.

Its  value is the lake view

First the good - clean but basic rooms and a fantastic view of the lake, right out the back sliding door. Now the not so good - the breakfast was pretty bad (continental with older pastries). We were on a bike trip and there was nowhere nearby to get dinner. We ordered in, but weren't thrilled with the food. Even the soft drink machine had virtually no selection. This place is kind of in the middle of nowhere. So, my advice - if you plan to stay here, bring a cooler. And tons of bug spray.
