I enjoy the short walk to Rideau Center, Byward market and Metro supermarket across the street. The room is a bit basic but it has everything I need and wanted, plus fantastic value. Will continue to book here.

No-frills, two-beds room and a continental breakfast were great for a quick overnight stay. Can't beat the price! Student workers were polite and definitely had a lot of patience, especially when other guests used them as tour guides/concierges!

For this price and location, it is not bad at all. The hotel is dated but clean. Parking is confusing.
