8/10 Very good

Close to downtown attractions , you can walk to any of them. Friendly staff and cleanliness room. Also a good night view of the downtown. The only problem is the AC is too loud.
Addison, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall stay was good, location is walking distance to everything that you may need. Only complaint is they need to make sure the little things like toilet paper and Kleenex are stocked in bath room (we ran out). We would stay here again

Jake Robert, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This place is great value. It's basic. Not a hotel. You get a basic room. The price is unbeatable in downtown Ottawa. If you are on a budget, this is the place.
Steven, 1-night trip

Needed a place to lay my head down at night and this worked perfectly for what I needed. Bed was comfortable so that was great!

Central and cheap
Vern, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in was easy and pleasant. The wonderful lady at the front went a bit over and beyond finding us secure parking in the area as this specific hotel does not have its own parking. All the staff seem to be so friendly.
