The parking spots are less than the capacity of the hotel. When checking in late and not knowing the area it was a hassle and safety issue to walk from public lots around the hotel. The breakfast staff also close the breakfast area promptly then begin cleaning which rushes those eating breakfast.

The hotel it self was good. It had a good breakfast but the dining area was small for the size of the hotel. I wasn’t expecting the hotel to be beside the local hangout for the bums of Ottawa. We pulled up to the hotel around 7 oclock and it looked like the walking dead outside. People strung out on who knows what stumbling into the street. I would not recommend this hotel if you are travelling with kids just because of that. Also I would not recommend it if you plan on exploring the city on foot.

Hotel located right across from a shelter so as a result the entrance to hotel needed key pass to enter. I get that it’s a safety feature but my key wouldn't work. I notified the male at the front desk but he was quite dismissive and failed to rectify the situation. Security had to open the door each time for us.Had no parking available for guest so had to pay for off site parking and walk back to the hotel. My kids were terrified by the activities they without on the streets. No hot water available during our 2 nights stay. First and last stay at this hotel for sure.
