All good as per the basic level accommodations—without complaints due to low fee. Also great complimentary breakfast on the Tamarack run weekend.
Be aware, downtown Ottawa is now populated with homeless, dangerous, mostly high people. Too bad it was a beautiful city 10+ years ago.

It was cozy and neat. Very simple and tidy. The only thing i have to fix is the smell. There is a distinct smell like sweat. I have to spray too much of febreze before the smell gone from my sense of smell🤗, but overall we’re all happy.

Overall stay was good, location is walking distance to everything that you may need. Only complaint is they need to make sure the little things like toilet paper and Kleenex are stocked in bath room (we ran out).
We would stay here again

Close to downtown attractions , you can walk to any of them. Friendly staff and cleanliness room. Also a good night view of the downtown. The only problem is the AC is too loud.
