Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Spa Watel

If you're looking for a room with a double-size Jacuzzi, a fireplace, and a balcony with a superb view of Lac des Sables, try this white-painted, lodge-style hotel, which is also convenient for the boutiques and cultural activities in Ste-Agathe. Inside, the lounge and restaurant are decorated in a casual country style, and you have a choice of either a basic motel-style room or a larger room with pine or wicker furnishings. The hotel also features a small spa area with two small swimming pools (one indoor, one outdoor), indoor and outdoor hot tubs, a cold bath, a sauna, and massage and esthetician services. It gets especially busy here when there's a show on at the theater, Le Patriote, next door.
