"Everything about our stay was excellent. The location was fantastic — easy to get around and close to everything we wanted to see in Ottawa. The staff were friendly and welcoming from check-in to check-out, and it made the whole experience even better. Would happily stay here again on our next visit to the city."

"Staff were friendly and responsive. The outdoor area with hot pools and fire pit was very nice. We also really appreciated the bicycle storage as we travelled with our bikes. While our room was clean and had everything we expected it was a bit worn and needed to be updated. Eg. Peeling melamine behind faucet. Towels were very thin and worn. These are minor complaints. Overall we were very happy with our stay"
