A great place to stay in Ottawa

My room was comfortable and exceptionally clean. A nespresso machine provided morning and evening coffees. The owner is a wonderful lady who is very helpful. There is both an indoor and outdoor sitting area, and she will make you a great latte to enjoy in either if you ask. The hotel is very conveniently located near to the Rogers Conference Centre (10 min walk straight to it) and the ByWard Market and its many eateries.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel is super clean, nicely renovated, the bed is comfortable. The owner didn't unlock the door for us bc we were too early for check-in, we got there around 12 pm and the check-in is at 3 pm. I do understand we have to wait if the room is not ready. But we parked at the property and i didn't want to leave the car there without any note. I literally sneaked in behind some guests who had the buzz code. When we asked about a CAA discount she was all passive aggressive about it, telling us that they pay fee for 3rd party booking and since we know now, we will never ask again. If you have a 'child' who's 18 they are not allowed in their hotel. Only ppl over 18.

The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The room is cozy and nice, and television is small. There is no body lotion or hair conditioner in room. One important thing to recognize is that their lobby hour is 8am to 10pm, and this is strictly kept. If you arrive by an early morning flight or somehow ended up arriving late at night, you will be in deep trouble. Perhaps this can cause some difficulty for time-sensitive business travels.
