"Great place to stay"

Clean and quiet. Staff always available and pleasant. 100% better than the other hotels. Most of all, I felt safe here and will always stay here when in Ottawa.

"Great Stay!"

I received a warm welcome from desk attendant Virginia and found my room to be clean and comfortable with enough outlets for my devices. A nice restaurant is right across the street and coupons are available for other restaurants downtown. This was a trouble free stay. I'll be back!

"Best staff ever."

Property was nice, beds could be a little nicer, carpet in the room needed a cleaning. But the great staff made up for it. We were stranded with a broken down car and the staff was very helpful with unknown checkout time and if another night stay would be needed. When we were ready to leave to pick up our car from the dealer we were unable to get an uber or a taxi and the super sweet maintenance man offered a ride. I have nothing but good to say about everyone at the hotel. Thank you.
