8/10 Good
"Disappointments: second night we were there, we had no internet and no TV signal after coming back to our room to relax after a busy day. There is no parking around the area so you must use the pay per day parking but it is not designed for full size truck. Pricey breakfast."

"Excellent hotel, very large rooms/suites, clean, great service. Unfortunately it’s across the street from Mission Services in an area full of vagrancy but that seems unavoidable if you want to be near Byward Market."
