You don’t get the room you book. The windows let in cold air and are covered in ice when you get up in morning. Curtains do not cover street lights. Breakfast was good.

Stayed here for a quick overnight in Ottawa, and it met my expectations for a budget hotel. I arrived late, and check-in was easy and painless—no hassle, which I appreciate. The room itself was basic but clean, and it was quiet, which is really all I needed. I didn’t get a chance to check out the amenities, but they do have a gym and a breakfast service, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s not a fancy place, but if you’re just looking for an affordable, no-frills stay, it does the job. No complaints—just set your expectations accordingly based on the price.
