Large rooms, 2 double beds, working fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Noisy A/C luckily didn't need it, breakfast is in a bag, so don't expect much. Was overall rather ok for the price, compared to other options. It seems to me these days everything is more and more expensive, for offering less and less...

We liked that we were able to get into our room earlier than 3 pm as we arrived in town and were weary from travelling. The staff was friendly and accommodating in that regard. The only things we did not like was the fact that the hotel policy was that they do not come to clean the rooms and give new towels every day unless you specifically request this service. This was not made clear on check-in. We found it out when searching the motel online. Also the ice machine was not working, we had to go offsite to get ice every day. Great location, close to Parliament Hill and lots of shopping and restaurants around.

Better than expected!
Quick work trip with main business near Rideau Centre. The walk from Rideau to EconoLodge was a little sketchy. However, the area immediately north and east of the hotel is beaitiful. 400m walk to the river. The accommodations were great. Better than expected for the price. Service and cleanliness was great. Will staty again

Service personal was good and seems to be helpful, When i showed my IDs and CAA membership card to get 10% discount, i have been informed that, since the internet is down we can not proceed the payment thing now but don't worry we will take care later. At the time of checkout i remind them for the CAA discount, then the girl told me, sorry we can not do this now, SORRY. you should have done this when you arrived, She acknowledge the reason of internet but still said i can not do anything. Since that was not my fault i asked to compensate for something. Thanks Jamil

Not bad
The building was receiving updates while we were there, including the lobby and dining area for the complimentary breakfast. The hotel did its best to accommodate this and provided coffee, tea and a breakfast to go bag in the lobby which contained muffins, yogurt and juice. The motel has an upper level where people appeared to be staying more long term and had children who were quite loud. Otherwise, it’s a decent place to lay your head if you aren’t staying long.

We searched around and only this property had free parking downtown for an affordable price. The location is the best; walking distance to everything a tourist needs. The room is small but has the basics and "hommy" feel with a microwave and a fridge. Breakfast is just the very basics. The staff is friendly and helpful.
