iceman Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Fifty additional rooms at the Gaspésiana in 2023 The JGS Group plans to add 48 rooms to the Le Gaspésiana hotel in Sainte-Flavie. This is an investment of nearly eight million dollars that will create about 20 jobs. The project involves the construction of a three-storey building attached to the current hotel and a swimming pool in the front yard. The other rooms of the Gaspésiana also need to be renovated. The hotel will have nearly a hundred units when the work is completed. This project will partly be carried out in the spring. A phase could also take place in the fall so as not to harm the summer tourist clientele. It is a great project that is coming in the context where we want to increase the accommodation capacity in the tourist sector, which is limited, as we know, in the Rimouski region, indicates one of the shareholders of the Group. JGS, Jean-Francois Fortin. Jean-Guy Sylvain, who submitted the project, received all the necessary authorizations this summer from the Municipality, indicates municipal councilor Agathe Lévesque. For the rest of us, it's a plus in terms of the finances of Sainte-Flavie. [...] Then in more, that will be more modern spaces, she says. A public consultation was conducted in August and no citizen came forward against the project. Jean-François Fortin, who is also mayor of Sainte-Flavie, was not yet a shareholder of Groupe JGS when the public consultations were conducted. Delivery of the project is scheduled for the end of 2023. Florida Snowman, PLAYHARD, P Hardy and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuse6 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Surprised to see an expansion like that with the new (few years old) Quality Inn right there in Mont Joli. Would think there would be a surplus of hotel rooms in that town. Obviously with that type of capital expenditure there must be demand.

mccaffrey Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Our group could not get rooms at any of those two places in Mont Joli last February, and that was trying different time slots. Winter tourists crazy busy. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) I remember when our group of 4 got 2 "adjoining" rooms at the older hotel in downtown Mont Joli. Lots of laughs when we found the adjoining was a narrow T shaped hallway that went between the rooms and was the washroom for both rooms. You had to skirt around the sink when going to the other room and to sit on the toilet you pretty much had to go into the hallway then back down the leg of the T and have a seat. Sled memories, aren't they awesome! Edited November 11, 2022 by PISTON LAKE CRUISER MrGutz, PLAYHARD and P Hardy 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
