For what it is (a motel/Inn), it’s one of the best we’ve been too. Relatively clean and beds are really comfortable. We were just there to sleep and shower, but we do rent a room there 3-4 times a year and always been fine with the staff and accommodations!

The room was very clean, but the smell of bleach was strong. The cleaning staff were very helpful. Air conditioning was old and weak, which didn't help with a daytime temperature of 22C. Breakfast was only good if you like cereal.

Honestly, it doesn't look like much from the outside (especially the flickering sign), but the rooms are pleasantly clean and comfortable and the price was right - and for us the location (South Ottawa) was good. I would definitely stay there again.
