What a gem! We loved the neighbourhood feel and the proximity to the market and everything we wanted to do in Ottawa. The room was clean and we were thrilled with a private sitting area in the back patio. Another happy surprise was the quality of the breakfast: real potato wedges, fruit, yogurt, eggs and a variety of toast & cereal options.

The breakfast was amazing. We were on the main floor and had an adorable patio out of our room. The bed was a little too soft for my personal liking but the staff was kind and let us leave our luggage with them before check in and after. I would stay here anytime I visit Ottawa.
