I booked at this hotel thru HOTWIRE Dec.18, 2011 and I was surprised when I arrive on this hotel. I came in 3 or 4hrs before the check-in time and still the receptionist find a way to get me the "suite" that I booked and let me check inn..
the downside is you need to pay 5$ for the Internet on the room and it's not wifi..
But the room, it's pretty clean and and it has a fully equipped kitchenette. The washroom is 4/5 but yet, it is still clean..

I was planning on returning on this hotel on FEB.4(Saturday but the hotel is already fully booked online)
I hope the management will read this and find a way for me to stay just for one night..

Thumbs up on this HOTEL.
Cheap $$$ for a clean and great location...

We stayed here, on our way to Tremblant from Toronto. Thanks to Priceline, I was able to get a deal for the one night we stayed here ($75 taxes in).

Check-in was very easy, and so was check out. We arrived too late to be able to park at the hotel, however we were able to get (free since we left before 8am) street parking right across from the hotel.

Our room included a fully equipped kitchen. The bathroom was updated and clean. The bed was firm but comfortable.

If you are looking for a clean place to shower and sleep, I'd recommend this place. Otherwise, if you are looking for something fancy look elsewhere.

I stayed their on Oct 14th to Oct 16th 2011. It is an average hotel with acceptable standard. I arrived there earlier than the check in time, the receiption girl helped me to search the available room and let me check in early. That is very nice of her. The hotel has offered free local phone calls, free internet and full kitchen. The location is at heart of downtown Ottawa and very easy to access. The only things I do not like are the construction at the back and drunk people on the street in the mid night, but the hotel can do nothing about this. Overrall, needs a place to stay and sleep, no problem with this hotel, look for something fancy, try somewhere else.

it is an acceptable hotel, in fact, it uses an old apartment and converts it to a hotel. Therefore, each unit is a suite with a bedroom, and a living room. A Full Kitchen is available. the building is old, and the hotel has not really renovated the building, but the carpet or walls being painted. i can testify that the washroom has been upgraded and the shower, tiles, floor and faucets are all like new. the mattresses are terribly soft, so i got back aches from it for the whole 2 days of staying in there. the Aspirins did the job though. In terms of location, it is top notch. it is just 200 yards from the main street Elgin where all the restaurants are located. you can find any type of food three, including Montreal's Dunn's smoked meat. Falafel is the standard fast food in Ottawa and you can be rest assured to find one on the street. There are lots of pubs, italian restaurants. All have their menus listed at the front doors and i find that their prices are no more expensive than any big cities. It is within walkable distance to the parliament. To go to other museums, you will need to drive. Nonetheless, they have in and out privilege for the parking lot if you pay $14 a day for using the hotel parking lot. If they run out of space, you can park your car in the parking lot of the City hall whcih is just located half a block east of the hotel. yo ualso pay just $14 for the city hall parking lot. The hotel is not upscale, 2-1/2 stars is bang on, but its location is truly worth considering if one does not care much about the soft mattresses. I may consider staying there again when i go to the capital city next year. Finally, there is no bed bug, i stayed in Days Inn nearby, my son got bitten by these buggers.
