Stayed at this inn over the weekend for a wedding. Location is great, close to all restaurants. Friendly staff, clean room. Also probably the least expensive place to stay at around the area. Breakfast included, good bang for buck, recommended!

My absolute favourite place to stay when visiting Ottawa. One of the cleanest and most well maintained properties I’ve stayed at with the added bonus of being reasonably priced. The free breakfast also well exceeded our expectations with a full menu of not just continental breakfast items but a buffet of eggs, bacon, potatoes and even breakfast wraps to take to go! 100% recommend for anyone looking for a well located and comfortable stay in Ottawa!
