TV in unit didn't work, beds uncomfortable.. Breakfast was good.

8/10

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.

8/10

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

1-night trip

2/10

This was the worst "hotel" I've stayed in my life. Our bed (mattress) and pillows were so awful that I've been dealing with neck/shoulder pain for a week. It started during my stay, and for two days, I couldn't move my arm due to the shooting pain traveling from the neck to my elbow. Bedroom's access card didnt work, even immediately after checking-in, which was annoying to go back to the front desk to have it fixed more than once. Bathroom is very outdated, towels were awful. I stayed for 5 nights and not once housekeeping came in to clean/refresh towels, despite the website inform they would after 3 days. I'm very dissatisfied, dealing with excruciating pain, and missing work because of it. Do not invest your time or money at this property, specially if you're going to Ottawa for tourism and wishes to spend more than 48 hours in the city.
