Our stay

Overall it's still passable, but the bedspread was not very clean, the bathroom fan made a hell of a noise and the bathroom door didn't close. On the other hand, we had a very large TV with lots of channels and applications. It's really rare in hotels.

Good for a economy stay. It snowed all night and no attempt to shovel sidewalks and left room at 9:00 am and went to double check the room for belongings and keycards were already deactivated and the manager couldn't care less. Still enjoyed our stay.

I didn’t get to stay at this property. My flight was late into Ottawa, luggage was an hour to get and my the time I was to head to Gananoque it was dark and snowing. I made the decision to be safe and stay in Ottawa. Called the Hotel and was told I could reschedule through Expedia. On the booking area it said I wasn’t entitled to reschedule as it was past my check in time. I had no control over my flight and luggage delay but have now lost my nights booking. Is there anything that can be done?
