Stayed at Byward Blue Inn and loved it! The staff were so kind and welcoming, the room was cute and cozy (really appreciated having kitchenette area), and the whole place had such a warm, homey atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious with lots of great options. Conveniently located on a quiet street within walking distance to everything Byward Market has to offer. A perfect little spot in Ottawa—I’d happily stay again!
