Fermont · Québec border

Hotel near Fermont, Québec

One base for both sides of the border

Fermont, Labrador City and Wabush work as one region. Crews, contractors and families moving between them stay with us and commute — with a full hotel around them instead of a room on its own.

  • A short drive from the Québec border for anyone heading to or from Fermont.
  • Bilingual welcome — our team receives guests from Québec every day.
  • Grenfell Restaurant on site for a hot meal after Route 389.
  • Free on-site parking, with room for trucks and work vehicles.
