For what it is (a motel/Inn), it’s one of the best we’ve been too. Relatively clean and beds are really comfortable. We were just there to sleep and shower, but we do rent a room there 3-4 times a year and always been fine with the staff and accommodations!

Close to Carleton University so we always stay here for a night when we visit our son. The place is decent, clean, and price is reasonable. Lots of parking and has parking for a trailer which is great for when we travel with a trailer to haul our son's stuff in and out of his camous residence.
