8/10 Very good

Great stay! Just wished there was parking at the hotel
Diya, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect downtown spot near Parliament

This place is great. We loved it and had a great stay as a family. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the location was perfect for a quick stay downtown close to Parliament. It was very walkable to everything

Very welcoming staff and modern environment. Great place to stay and centrally located.
Eric, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location for eashy walking to all of downtown Ottawa's sites. Lacking of on-site parking initially seemed like a drawback but the underground lot nearby was safe and secure and we didn't need our vehicle for the time we were there.
Glenn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good property overall. The only downside was the expensive downtown public parking since the hotel doesn’t have a parking right now.
Bationo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and nice rooms, convenient location.
Genevieve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent hotel that is pretty well located. Overnight parking is a hassle and not always easy to find. Overall good experience for the price but there is more going around the byward market which is 20 minutes away by foot.
