Ottawa escapade

As it is located at the heart of the city, at night seems not safe to roam around. For just a place to rest at the end of the day, the place is suitable enough.

Kawal, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, comfortable and convenient.

The hotel was conveniently located to attractions, shopping and public transit. The room was clean and comfortable. The only problem was that the TV set was not working. But because I was staying overnight and was out most of the time, it didn't make a difference. And the continental breakfast was perfect.
Stuart, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really good overall. The room ambiance could be more appealing for guests considering the rates
Rohit, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall good for location.

Continental breakfast was great. Price good. Private Parking just beside the hotel.though parking is very expensive with weird timings. If you pay for parking in evening, finished at 12am. If you pay 12am finishes at 5am 10$ each. For 3 nights paid 81$
