I liked the details. Rooms were clean and the rooms had everything that a business person would need for a stay, at a very reasonable price. If I'm back in Ottawa, I'm staying here.

Lovely large suite with lots of windows and two balconies. Condition was a bit dated but it’s obviously undergoing renovations and it’s kind of charming that some of the original elements remain. We would stay next time We’re in Ottawa.
