I went to Ottawa for the Monet exhibit. Algonquin College offered the best price with free parking and continental breakfast. I was expecting a dorm, and that's exactly what I got. There was plenty of parking, but the lot was hard to find after dark. I almost drove to the bus stop. The room was a nice suite with 2... More

Do not stay here, it is filthy and broken. The staff was unmotivated to say the least. The vertical blinds in one of the bedrooms was missing slats and they never repaired it even after we complained three times. For two mornings there was no sugar and the staff couldn't be bothered to get any. The floors had never been... More

Booked 2 nights. After arriving the night I instantly contacted the booking agent to cancel the 2nd night. Fortunately I did get the refund. Have been to a college dorm but this one seems worn out badly. On arrival there was no clear sign indicating where to park my car. One thing this place has common with many Las Vegas... More

We stayed here during the Canada Day weekend 2012 because we could not find hotel space elsewhere in Ottawa for this very busy long weekend. If you are planning to visit here you should be aware in advance that this is a college dorm and not really a hotel. The facilities are spartan to say the least, although the two-room... More

Overall, it’s a nice stay with the money we paid. There are pros and cons I thought people should know. Pros: Privacy:Inside the room, there are 2 separate rooms both equipped with a double bed, TV, studying desk, internet and open closet. Outside the bedrooms, there is a kitchen with a microwave and big refrigerator, and a roomy bathroom. You... More

Well, this is the place to stay for baseball teams, or if you are attending a swim meet or other athletic event at the college. If you have never been to university then be warned that you are not getting a two room suite like what you might expect at Quality Suites or other chain hotel. We stayed here because... More

Great location near shopping, restaurants, with easy access to the highway. The rooms were very big (they are 2-bedroom apartments with eat-in kitchen), and quiet. Free parking, internet (wired only, which is a little frustrating for electronics that don't have an ethernet port), and air-conditioned. The down-side was that it is cleaned by students who don't have an eye for... More

We were shocked by the prices of lodging in Ottawa and turned off by the poor reviews of any which charged $100 or less per night. Here, you get a two bedroom unit with a nice kitchen and bath for $49 ($55 with taxes). They have internet access (wired only using their supplied Ethernet cable), a large refrigerator/freezer, microwave and... More

Stayed here while on a working weekend in Ottawa. Got a rate of $60/night so it was wallet friendly. The location is near Hwy 417 so getting around the city by car is easy. It is part of the Algonquin College Campus and is within easy walking distance to McD's, Tim Hortons, Subway, and the College Centre Shopping Plaza. The... More

We stayed at this residence for when The Royals visited Ottawa, Canada. We were not sure if we were going, so basically we lost a lot of options and this place seems to be the only decent place. This residence is almost half an hour away from downtown by transit. The beds are semi-horrible. You will second guess yourself if... More
