The room we stayed in is generally clean and good size, and you can't beat the location. It's 1 min from the highway entrance and walkable to the mall across the street. We stayed on the 8th floor and there's a flat screen TV, comfortable mattress, and free wifi internet. The only compliant I would have is the grout in... More

This hotel is pretty basic, nothing fancy, but still great for a quick stay. Not too far from down town Ottawa. Little rough around the edges, but I would still recommend for a one night stay. Breakfast is decent. Not many channels on the TV and the rooms are relatively small but clean. Still a quiet and pleasant stay. More

We went for 2 nights, and booked through Hot wire. For $75/night we got a clean hotel only a 12 min drive to the Parliament buildings. It had free parking and a pool, so after a day of sight seeing, it was nice to come back to the hotel and relax. It is cheaper to stay outside of downtown core,... More

Like most others have said this hotel is average. You can tell it was built in the 70' s or 80's and is in need of a renovation. But with saying that, the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful and were kind enough to put all 3 of our rooms together when... More
