The location was perfect for my meetings. The room was clean and bed was comfortable, it was an extremely spacious suite and good for a longer stay. Lots of hot water in the shower. The included breakfast was very good with lots of options. Staff were very helpful. The only thing less than excellent was my room location wrapped around the elevator which was very busy.

It’s an older property, but is like a diamond in the rough. Free laundry was very appreciated. Great assortment at the breakfast. The room was kind of quirky, but had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. Good location.

The rooms are like a one bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, with coffee maker, toaster, fridge and stove, dining table and large room fully furnished. They are very quiet and I didn’t hear any hallway noise. There’s also a large patio and lots of windows with blackout curtains. . A full breakfast with lots of options including hot food is provided. The staff was very friendly. There are so many restaurants within one block and a 24 hour convenience store across the street. It’s a short 10 to 15 minute walk to Parliament Hill and Rideau shopping centre. I didn’t have a car, so I’m not sure about the parking. I’d definitely stay here again!
