Joyce, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice stay overall. Staffs are nice and willing to help, but the amenities in the room are poor, such as noisy air condition, a poorly functioning faucet.
Alice, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

We have a good stay. The AC is a bit noisy, breakfast is just bread n cereal, other than that, it s a good choice.
Joyce, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I enjoy the short walk to Rideau Center, Byward market and Metro supermarket across the street. The room is a bit basic but it has everything I need and wanted, plus fantastic value. Will continue to book here.
Denny, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great views and affordable prices. Just a few things, you need to request a hair dryer. Housekeeping is dependent on how long your stay is. Bed is springs based sags. Good AC and very roomy.
