This is a great hotel to stay if you want to be close to Byward Market and other points of interest. Rooms are very clean and the service is great. Full breakfast with eggs, pastries, coffee and tea. I have stayed here multiple times and this hotel has never disappointed. The area around the hotel is noisy and doesn’t look very safe but I have never had any incidents, just like any other downtown area need to be watchful at night

The hotel is in the market area and Parliament. The bedroom and bathoom were renovated, big and clean. The room even included a kitchenette. Breakfast was great with a good variety of food to choose from. Staff was efficient and friendly. I will stay again at the hotel whenever I return to Ottawa.

This hotel is always amazing. Only slight issue we had this time was our room had a smell, we think it may have been painted recently? Other than having to open the windows to air out a bit, all was good. Thanks!
