EastMark Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Saddlebag ride in Matane for a night. Never been there. Looking for a place for a night. More concerned theres decent food and/or a bar than a fancy room...priorities you know. Hopefully something easy on/off trail. Any info is great ! Not sure how many options there is there......

Fuse6 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Haven’t stayed in Matane myself but the Quality Inn is often suggested for its easy trail access. Riotel is very nice place but difficult to access if low snow in town. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 We have stayed at both locations that Fuse has mentioned, both a very comparable. Quality inn is quicker coming from the west, Riotel is quicker from the East. Probably the Quality inn is a bit easier to access imo. Enjoy PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastMark Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Think both have food/bar ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neksledr Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Both have Restaurant and bars. Riotel a little more upscale, but both great spots, can't go wrong either way. Quality Inn definitely easier to get to PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Quality Inn is always my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi Mark, If you are doing the over night from RDL,, also consider Amqui. That is a really nice ride going via Squatech. Been to both Matane and Amqui, but Matane was a lot of years ago and others might comment which is the better ride and better restaurants and bars. mike 16 hours ago, EastMark said: Saddlebag ride in Matane for a night.

EastMark Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I love the trail along the river over that way Mike. I was thinking going to Matane on 5 for overnite then over toward that was and Squatech/Bienville way in the morning and back to RDL. Id be open to either ! What trail is the one that sweeps along a river heading back towards Squatech way ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Leaving Rimouski going to RDL, #35 west goes along the river before you get to Squateck. Going to Amqui your would go the same #35 trail, only going east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Have been on 35 many times and it ranks as one of my favorite trails in quebec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTD0314 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Was at the Riotel a couple of weeks ago. Great place and no issue accessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Hardy Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Ate at this restaurant/motel/bar the other year. https://www.leportagematane.com/ On the same trail as the quality Inn, just before it. Just a small spot, but the food was really good and the place had a real local flavour, I was going to try a night there next time in Matane, but haven't made it back. From what I remember room prices were pretty reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
