The staff, room and breakfasts were all great. However, there is a homeless shelter close by, and my friends felt unsafe walking in the evening. During the day, however, we were close by a beautiful park on the Rideau River, and we loved that walk.

We had to ask for towels on the third day. Beds were not made up daily, but that doesn’t bother us too much. Room was clean, had plenty of lamps, easy chair with foot stool, good TV and desk. No carpet smell. Came with fridge and microwave. Breakfast area was better than most such establishments.
