We had a pleasant stayed at Byward Blue Inn this past weekend. It’s conveniently located in the City with walking distance to almost everything. The only downside was the hot water in the bathtub was really weak in the room we stayed. Last but not least front staffs are very helpful. Thank you.

A great apartment style hotel in a great location, close to all the major attractions and restaurants. Having a kitchenette was a bonus as it allowed us to self cater our evening meal instead of going out every night for dinner. Having under cover parking was a blessing as we had heavy snowfalls overnight. Parking an SUV was a challenge, but manageable.
