A little tired looking from the outside but rooms have been updated and were so clean. The mini fridge is huge and the beds were very comfortable. Staff and service was fantastic. There is no breakfast included, just a brown bag with yogurt, muffin and juice box. It's in a good location and is within walking distance to downtown. Free parking was a great surprise too.

Large rooms, 2 double beds, working fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Noisy A/C luckily didn't need it, breakfast is in a bag, so don't expect much. Was overall rather ok for the price, compared to other options. It seems to me these days everything is more and more expensive, for offering less and less...

We liked that we were able to get into our room earlier than 3 pm as we arrived in town and were weary from travelling. The staff was friendly and accommodating in that regard. The only things we did not like was the fact that the hotel policy was that they do not come to clean the rooms and give new towels every day unless you specifically request this service. This was not made clear on check-in. We found it out when searching the motel online. Also the ice machine was not working, we had to go offsite to get ice every day. Great location, close to Parliament Hill and lots of shopping and restaurants around.
