Great staff... had second thoughts due to external appearance, like Motel style; however, rooms were all updated and quite comfortable. Friendly staff. Best Shwarma in town across the street: the Shwarma Palace.

Super clean and very friendly staff. Walking distance from Rideau Hall and Parliament buildings. A lot of restaurants nearby, and an awesome little movie theatre just up the street. Very close to Byward market. Quite a few street people, but it doesn’t feel unsafe.

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. My sister and I both felt the same way. I apologized to her because I was the one that booked it. We were afraid of bed bugs because of the condition of the bedding. We couldn’t wait to leave in the morning to drive to Quebec where we’re spend 5 nights in a fantastic hotel. I travel a lot within and outside Canada. Everyone says I am an easygoing person but, this hotel should be closed. I have booked many holidays with Expedia without a bad experience.

When i booked this room days ago i called to ensure i could pay at the property. My boyfriend would be putting it on his credit card. The morning of the reservation I recieved a voicemail stating that my card.has been declined and if I didnt pay by 130PM (2 hours before checkin) my reservation would be cancelled. So I called again explained the situation and i was advised that I was required to pay by credit card while on the call, and my boyfriend wasnt here yet so.after telling this again i finally gave upandn told them to cancel the booking. We ended up going to another hotel and having an amazing time.
