Excellent little hotel in Ottawa!

Excellent boutique hotel in the heart of Byward Market in Ottawa. There a ton of food and drink options nearby and the hotels breakfast was great with really good food and attentive staff. Easily one of my fave hotels in Canada (this being my second time staying there and we will come back for sure).

Room was clean, spacious & very well appointed. Breakfast was good with an adequate selection to start the day. Plenty of dining options close to Byward Market. The street is a little dark if arriving at night. Would highly recommend a stay here.
