GT Rider Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 I haven't parked my truck & trailer in Rimouski. I have stayed at Hotel Rimouski (a ride through town snow coverage hit and miss) and Hotel L'Empress (an easier ride). Both have restaurants. I would call about parking.

GSX800 Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Staged out of Hotel L'Empress a few years back. We have an in line four place trailer and had no problem with parking. Gas station right next door. Tim Hortons across the street if you want a quick coffee and something to eat for breakfast. LaCage sports bar/restaurant in the hotel. Trail right out the back of the parking lot to take you out of town. Grimmer and PLAYHARD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revct1 Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Universal is where most stay in RDL. Its about 135 km from RDL to Rimouski via trail 5. There is also a Quality Inn and Comfort Inn on the other side of town. A note for the Universal is the restaurant is under renovation this winter. Breakfast is served next to the restaurant in what was a conference room that has been converted for this season. Supper is served in the bar which has a few booths and tables. There are also many restaurants in town to choose from. Jack & Sandi jak and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuse6 Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 We start from from Mon Joli Hotel in Mont Joli. Reason being you leave your truck keys with them. If you break down they have a guy that will come rescue you. Had two trips where a machine in the group broke down. Real life saver when your 100’s of km from your truck slomo, MrGutz, PLAYHARD and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
