Nice little hotel. Had a room with a balcony which was wonderful. Close to everything, nice breakfast, and clean comfortable room. The only thing i could suggest is the bed was a bit soft for my preference, but not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming inn! The location couldn’t have been better—centrally located in Byward Market and a close walk to everything we wanted to see, yet still quiet and safe. Our room had a private balcony, which was a great bonus! The included breakfast had a variety of fresh and tasty options—one of the best buffets I've had. This inn offers excellent value for money. I would happily stay again and will definitely be recommending it to others.
