Enjoyable stay.

It was a very nice room and the view off of the balcony was very nice. The breakfast selection was good. Wife loved the automatic pancake maker.

The stafff was attentive and responsive to our needs. The facilities are in a poor state of repair and the location is not very pleasant except for the proximity to the river. The view from the rooms is nice, since they all look over the river

Upon arrival the front entrance had huge spiders and cobwebs all over as if the spiders have grown by the generation. Upon entering, there was no one at the front entrance. A regular saw me waiting for a while and yelled the staffs name which made her appear from a dining hall. Upon entering my room it REAKED of body odour. Everything was covered in dust. The ceiling has water damage and was falling apart the walls shedding. When approaching the staff with these concerns of smell, and uncleanliness they said “I know, I wouldn’t book here again if I were you”. When trying to cancel the booking unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a refund offered and they changed my room but it wasn’t much better than the first resulting in barely any sleep. I had better sleep in my car that night. Worst experience ever. Definitely would NOT RECOMMEND.

Beautiful view of the Rideau from our balcony, but no other positives. Room was clean, but not maintained. Floor lamp not working, lampshades had obvious stains. Cover on outlet behind bed was smashed, leaving the plugs exposed. Continental breakfast was a joke. Pancake machine was only hot option. Very minimal selection. No fresh fruit, only white bread for toast, three tiny chocolate muffins in pastry section. Would not go again.
