Excellent stay

Fantastic little hotel right by all the action of the Byward market. We were visiting friends and being centrally located was key. The hotel is well taken care of and rooms are well equipped. This was our first hotel stay with our baby and there was plenty of space for all our belongings for a 4-night stay.

Great location with proximity to food, entertainment parking and the Highway! Customer service was great on check in. Very personable. Only downside was the pillows on the bed. Thin and flat. Other than that, great place.

Amazing place close to Parliament Hill and Byward Market! Wonderful breakfast! Highly recommend and will return next time when in Ottawa. And that I’ll make coffee in the morning and we have stuff.
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable, convenient and quaint.

The ground suite I stayed in has access to a lovely inner courtyard where I enjoyed my morning tea. The room was comfortable and quiet. The little kitchenette was convenient for quiet stay-in meals. The location is perfectly for accessing the local highlights on foot. I will definitely stay here again.
