Breakfast
The breakfast offerings at Hôtel Énergie Shawinigan have received mixed feedback from guests. Some appreciated the simple yet complete breakfast menu offered at Pacini, the restaurant adjacent to the hotel, noting that it provided a hearty and very good meal at an affordable price. The friendly service at Pacini was also highlighted positively. However, many guests expressed disappointment that breakfast is not included in the room price and felt the separate charge was quite expensive. The set breakfast menu, featuring items like two eggs and a choice between ham or sausage, was deemed not substantial enough with limited variety and no fruit options available. Additionally, it was noted that breakfast is of the Anglo-Saxon type only. Some guests preferred exploring other breakfast options, even though the in-house restaurant had a good menu. Overall, while the breakfast quality received some praise, the lack of inclusion in the room rate and the additional costs were common concerns.
