The location was great and the area was not busy like other parts of Ottawa. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms had all your essentials and then some: (Coffee maker, microwave, fridge, safe, USB-C/HDMI plugins.) Bed was comfy and you had 4 options for pillows. A solid stay overall, would recommend.
