“Excellant Price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Three of us stayed at this hotel, for a long weekend during This September, yes it is very old and tired,BUT where else can you stay in Ottawa for $33.66 a night per head including breakfast and parking, in a very easy, pleasant, walk away from everything!!!! All of The Staff were outstanding,

After accidentally leaving the Do Not Disturb sign on the door all day we returned to find our Used Towels still in the bath, a quick trip to the front office to apologize, and ask for replacements they were in our room within 5 mins,and with a huge smile.

In our opinion for the price we paid we had way over the top service and this Hotel could not be beat for Location

“bargain basement”

This property is only fair. Rooms are outdated, Room 122, somewhat threadbare, but nice people, great microwave, mini fridge was fine, but no freezer. Very small bathroom. Location is about 20 minutes brisk walk from downtown center (ByWard Market area). Free parking is a perk.

Room Tip: use the ground floor -- no elevator

“Poor hotel, yet great location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Our family of 4 ended up staying in Ottawa for a day. We booked this hotel because of it's close proximity to the Parliament Hill and a reasonable price ($105 with AMA discount). Everything was at a low-scale, except the brakefast. Breakfast was reasonable and staff were very friendly! There were stores in a walking distance (3-5 min.), so you can also buy your own food.

Room Tip: Ask for a room inside the court, not close to the road, because you will hear the traffic.

“For an overnight stay, it was okay”

Stayed here for one night. Friendly staff, and a decent continental breakfast in the morning. Rooms are tired and in need of a renovation. But for an overnight stay, and 80 dollar price tag, it did the trick....

This place is 100 a night. No frills very basic old worn out room.
The bathmat was filthy, the soaps and shampoos are of the lowest quality.
The towels are paper thin and the house keeping don't clean properly.
All the furniture is old and worn out.
The hot water wasn't working.
The ice machine was broken.
