Great hotel for the price.
This is easily one of the best hotel for the price. You have a spacious room with kitchenette, possibility to have a indoor parking (for winter this is priceless) and a continental breakfast included. It was situated right down town Ottawa and 10 minutes walk from the Rideau canal for staking.

Hessam, 7-night trip

Loved it here!
Great hotel!! Clean, centrally located, excellent breakfast, great staff! 10/10 worth it for the price and what you get - free laundry (24/7), free gym access (24/7), and a free breakfast with a wide variety of both sweet and savoury stuff. The breakfast also has little care packages with a water bottle, cookie, and granola bar - so cute. Would definitely stay again :).
