Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Positive: Very good location. Walkable to all attractions. Friendly staff. Good breakfast available.
Neutral: On site parking is very tight but it is still a covered parking with security code to enter.
Subjective negative: The bedding is premium but mattress and pillows were too soft for us side sleepers. We got stiff necks after sleeping.
Important note to Expedia: your phone number of this hotel is incorrect. I tried to contact them a couple of times and it went on an answering machine. I never got a call back. When I went to the hotel, I saw that the staff does pick up the phone. Then I realized the phone number may be wrong and I checked against hotel website. Phone number provided at Expedia is incorrect. Please correct that.
Staff great, if you’re staying there, there should be a policy that at least one spot for each room if you’re bringing a car, increase car park spaces to accommodate so it will be first come first serve
Stayed here for the price point and location. Parking is very limited in the back and not very accommodating for larger vehicles. Small lobby with lots of foot traffic. Good location. Close to Elgin Street, Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal and the Rideau Centre. No view and no microwave in the room we had. We also gotba complimentary upgrade to a King Room because the door lock on our first room wouldn't disengage and we couldn't open the door. Comfortable bed and furniture. Streaks on the mirrors in the tiny elevators. Lobby floors get a lot of dirt brought in from the street.
