Night away
We didn’t want to leave. It was quiet, comfortable, staff was amazing. We made a night out of an event at Landsdowne and stayed for a little get away. The only issue we found was the elevators being so small, it was a little uncomfortable when there were 5 people in it. We are already planning to come back again as soon as we can.

Good location, clean and spacious suite
Desk staff at check-in were very friendly and down to earth. Room/suite was spacious, and while somewhat outdated, it was very clean so I did not mind. Neighbourhood is convenient - restaurants, ATMs, bus routes, etc. I would certainly stay here again!

Like home......almost.....in a good way.
We've stayed at this hotel before, but it was a few years ago. It's old, not really updated but for what it lacks in the modern room, it makes up for in comfort and room efficiency. We did a king bed suite which was amazingly affordable and the room was awesome. The bathroom was good with amenities and the kitchen was perfect. Apartment size fridge for our 3 day stay and stove and microwave which we didn't use much, but was nice to have when we needed it. Balcony was really nice and the big tv being hung from the ceiling was a great space saver! We also had a double lazyboy loveseat in the room, sooooo comfortable and nice after a long day, just like home! The only reason it wasn't a perfect stay is the bed was not great.....but we survived!

Great hotel!
This is my 3rd stay here and I will not stay anywhere else in Ottawa. The rooms are spacious and very clean, everything you need is there or offered. On site free laundry is a great perk as well. Area can’t be beat, lots of small restaurants close by, walking distance to the market, parliament and Rideau center.

I’ll be back.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The continental breakfast was better than any I’ve ever seen before. So many options, choco milk, milk, juice, water etc. they not only had a meat and egg option every day but pre-made breakfast sandwiches bacon/sausage/ham. They have to go snack packs for the day. Unlimited water and juice once the kitchen closes. For lengthier stays you can opt out of housekeeping and save $10 per day. They have carts in the hall to help yourself to toiletries, towels etc. 6 pillows on the bed, and an additional 6 in the closet. I really enjoy not having to ask for things and then wait around for someone to bring them up. More hotels should be like this. Options of above or below ground parking. If they run out, they reimburse you for more expensive parking elsewhere. Large suites for a great price. I’ve never been so impressed. Great customer service, the front desk staff were not only kind but engage with you in friendly conversation.
