Really good placefor the price. Perfect for budget travelers. Strategic location, near DT Ottawa. However, the beds are really small. Perfect for 2 people, but a bit cramped for 4.

Very clean and spacious rooms. Staff were super helpful and friendly. We arrived early and were able to check our baggage in while we explored. Great views from our room. 10 minute walk to the mall. We only stayed for 1 night but would definitely come back if in town again.

Parking was extra, it was clean, had a good sized fridge freezer and was about what you’d expect considering it’s a dorm. Can’t complain for the price. Would do it again if I needed to.

Onsite parking is great and a fairly reasonable price. If 2 people share a bed you kind of sink in towards each other. The beds are really for one person. Staff was friendly & helpful. We had a great view. You do need to bring kitchen towels, cloth & utensils as there aren’t any in the suite. Nice to have 2 bedrooms to a suite.

Overall, the experience was good. The location is excellent, right in downtown. I deducted one point because the toilet had not been cleaned when I checked in, although the staff addressed the issue after. I also experienced a skin allergy after sleeping in the bed. The overnight parking fee is only $9, which is very affordable.

Overall, we had a good stay and felt it was great value for money. The parking was convenient and comfortable, which made things easier during our trip. Check-in had a few hiccups initially as the key card did not work, and there was a “Do Not Disturb” sign outside the room that caused some confusion. However, the issues were resolved, and the overall experience was pleasant. Would consider staying again.

Amazing price and great location to walk to major sites. Stayed with my family of 4 and our kids loved it as much as any hotel. Parking is right on site and only $9 a day on the weekend. One caution is BRING YOUR OWN kitchen items, as it has nothing. Ie. Coffee machine, mugs, plates, bowls, utensils, kettle etc. The beds definitely leave something to be desired as well, but you get what you pay for. Every hotel in the same area runs $100’s more, and for the difference in cost we were able to cover the rest of our weekend fun.
