We are so grateful for the kindness shown by staff at this location. Our flight out of Ottawa was canceled, so needed to book a last minute stay. The staff offered help in several ways allowing us to return our rental car on time and get to the airport in time for our flight the next day - in addition to a comfortable stay.
