Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Trois-Rivières, Quebec
Trois-Rivières winters are long enough that an indoor pool changes how a stay feels, and three hotels here list one. The Super 8 by Wyndham off Highway 155 has a pool with a 24-metre waterslide, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Trois Rivieres Ouest has a saltwater indoor pool eight minutes from the airport, and the Delta Hotels by Marriott Trois Rivieres Conference Centre adds a hot tub and sauna downtown. They suit different trips, and the pools are not alike, so I sort them below by the kind of stay each one fits: family fun, a quick airport hop, or a downtown base.
Trois-Rivières is a university and port city, home to the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, and its position halfway between Montreal and Quebec City makes it a common overnight stop on Autoroute 40. With long winters, an indoor pool is useful here well beyond the summer months, for families and road travellers alike. I would stay downtown, close to the riverside park and the restaurants of rue des Forges, when the city itself is the reason for the trip, and nearer the highway for a single night on the road.
Choosing Among Three Indoor Pools
An indoor pool tag covers a waterslide pool, a saltwater pool and a pool paired with a sauna. The three hotels share the label but not the stay, so the best choice depends on whether you travel with children, arrive by air or want the old downtown within walking distance.
The Super 8 by Wyndham Trois-Rivieres is the one I would book for children. Its indoor pool has a 24-metre waterslide, and the hotel adds a hot tub and a fitness centre. It sits off Highway 155, less than 15 minutes' drive from Trois-Rivières Airport, with pet-friendly rooms and a breakfast to go. A score of 8 across 1,886 reviews makes it the most reviewed of the three. It is a car-oriented stop rather than a downtown base, so I would choose it for a practical family overnight, not for a walk around the old streets.
The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Trois Rivieres Ouest has the highest score of the group, 8.6 across 903 reviews, and a saltwater indoor swimming pool. The listing also mentions a fitness centre and a lounge, along with air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms and free WiFi, and it is pet-friendly. It is located eight minutes from the airport, which makes arrivals and departures simple. I would pick it for a short stay built around a flight, or for anyone who prefers a saltwater pool to a heavily chlorinated one, with the caveat that it is not described as downtown.
The Delta Hotels by Marriott Trois Rivieres Conference Centre is the downtown option. Its indoor pool comes with a hot tub and a sauna, and the listing calls the hotel ideal for year-round relaxation. It is five minutes on foot from the St. Lawrence River and close to historic areas, shopping and dining, with city or river views available and pet-friendly rooms that have a 55-inch TV and a coffee maker. It scores 8.4 across 706 reviews. I would choose it when the pool is one part of a stay you want to spend walking around the old town.
The label hides one clear difference, and I would say it plainly. The Super 8 is the waterslide choice, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites is the saltwater and airport choice, and the Delta is the pool, hot tub and sauna choice downtown. None of the listings gives pool dimensions or opening hours, so I would not plan around lap swimming. All three accept pets, and the scores, 8, 8.6 and 8.4, are close enough that I would let the setting decide. If you only remember one thing, it is that the Delta is the only one you can leave on foot for the old town.
A traveler's takeIf I were choosing for a family with children, I would book the Super 8 by Wyndham Trois-Rivieres for its indoor pool with a 24-metre waterslide, accepting that it is a drive from downtown. For an early flight, I would pick the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Trois Rivieres Ouest, eight minutes from the airport, with its saltwater indoor pool and the best score of the three at 8.6. The Delta Hotels by Marriott is my choice when I want the pool, hot tub and sauna plus the old downtown within walking distance.
