가족들과 1박을 지냈는데 만족합니다. 리뷰만 보고 예약했는데 가격도 위치도 만족스러웠으며 주차도 유료긴 하지만 가격이 합리적이였고 투 더블베드 방은 넓찍하고 깨끗했습니다. 아침식사도 건강식은 아니지만 나름 종류도 다양하고 기대이상이였어요. 팬시한 호텔은 아니지만 짧게 머무르거나 가족끼리 머무르기 좋아서 추천합니다. 아 오타와 시내의 한식당들과 거리도 멀지않아서 좋았어요.

Great location. Easy parking (for a fee). Well stocked rooms. Everything you need inside and then some. Convenient cabinets in hallways stocking extra coffee, shampoo, cups, etc. so you don't have to call the front desk or go downstairs. The only issues were kind of a skimpy breakfast (and not very good tbh) and tiny bars of soap in the rooms. But they were Dove brand so while too small for the shower, it's a high quality soap brand. All in all, I'd go back if visiting Ottawa again.
