Are the prices inclusive of taxes?

Accepted Answer

No,

You must add the tourist accommodation tax (Amount of accommodation per night - included services) x Number of nights x (3.5/100) = Amount of accommodation tax

Formula for calculating GST/QST on accommodation

This formula applies when the portion concerned is registered for GST/QST, or when the specific situation requires the collection of taxes (see the details of the calculation and collection of the accommodation tax from Revenu Québec)(https://www.revenuquebec.ca/en/businesses/taxes/tax-on-lodging/calculation-and-collection-of-the-lodging-tax/). These taxes must be applied to the total amount of accommodation, including additional services and the accommodation tax.

(Amount of accommodation per night + additional services) x Number of nights + Amount of accommodation tax = Amount with accommodation tax Amount with accommodation tax  (GST/100) = Amount of GST Amount with accommodation tax  (QST/100) = Amount of QST

Question 18

What should I bring for my stay?

Accepted Answer

The Pavillon des Mésanges does not provide towels for groups during the weekend. The reason is simple: we have spas and a pool, and white towels don't stay white, requiring a lot of washing and replacement.

Please bring indoor shoes or slippers. The floors are like those in a home, and we don't want to damage them.

Question 19

Are there employees during the weekend?

Accepted Answer

No,

Your group is alone and self-sufficient.

However, the owner resides on-site on the second floor, and you may see her outside. She ensures to preserve your privacy as much as possible.

The owner performs two check-ups per day:
Between 6 am and 7:30 am in the morning to maintain the pool and spas.
Around 11 pm in the evening to ensure that spa covers are closed, windows in the main hall are closed if the air conditioning is in operation, etc. This check-up is especially important during large events.

Question 20

During my stay, I forgot an item. Could you send it to me by mail?

Accepted Answer

It is possible to send lost items by mail. Keep in mind that every weekend someone forgets something they want to find. Also, be aware that the post office is not near the Pavillon des Mésanges.That's why there's a $20 fee to get me to the nearest post office. Then, the package must be paid for in full before it's sent. You must answer the phone when I call to tell you the price, as I'll be at the post office waiting for the price of the box and your payment.Normally I can go to the post office on Tuesday mornings.
