Classic, no frills motel style accommodation. Spotlessly clean, comfortable for the one night we stayed and the price can’t be beat. Would stay again, no question.

Honestly, it doesn't look like much from the outside (especially the flickering sign), but the rooms are pleasantly clean and comfortable and the price was right - and for us the location (South Ottawa) was good. I would definitely stay there again.

Room was clean, had the necessary items - hair dryer, coffee maker. Beds were comfortable. Lots of towels. Fast and easy check in and check out. Was nice to grab a coffee and muffin when we had to leave at 6:30 this morning. We didn't use the TV. Had power cords attached to the night stand and by the TV which was very useful! Only reason for 4 start was there was a small whole in the bathroom ceiling. And the toilet shifted when getting on or off. But would recommend for location. And if all you want is somewhere to sleep it was perfect

The room needs a microwave. The curtains could be larger to block more of the street lights at night. The bathtub was narrow and shallow. The room has soap dispensers. I bought my own bar of hand soap. Otherwise, the room and facilities were clean and comfortable.

This is a well-kept budget friendly Inn. Good value and great for an overnight stay. the continental breakfast should have been better stocked on Sunday morning but otherwise very happy with the accommodation.
