Great property. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was delicious. It was super close to parliament and Byward market which we loved. However, we felt too unsafe to walk around the hotel and ended up taking taxis so if defeat the purpose of getting a hotel in downtown.

It’s a horrible location and sometime outlets in our room didn’t work The pool is so tiny and gross. Food was limited, no restaurant. But everything else was clean and I like that all the entrances were locked and the parking garage.

The room was very clean, the shower had decent water pressure too!! The breakfast staff was amazing, we stayed for 2 nights and there was a variety of foods each morning. Lots of sitting area to eat. The pool was fun, it is chlorine, not a Salt water and it was cloudy when we went down both nights around 9pm, but we still made it fun :-)
