Staff are very welcoming and aim to please. Breakfast is very tasty. The only small improvement would be their coffee in the mornings. Not very hot and it is very strong. That is a personal preference though so it would be difficult to please everyone. Cafes close by to choose from. Room was quite nice and we had a higher floor. It is quiet at night so no problem sleeping. Great location. Highly recommended

Spectacular location, literally 2 blocks from Byward Market, 15 mins walk to the Parliament Hills, art museum and Royal Canada Mint Museum. Room is clean, space is decent, tons of renovations done. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is better than majority of hotels

Rooms were basic, but clean. Ours had a large balcony which was a bonus. Location is great. Easy walk to many bars, restaurants, and tourist areas. Note that there is only parking for 8 in the hotel underground lot so pre-book if you have that option! The included breakfast buffet had a decent selection of choices, well stocked, and good quality. Great value all around.
