Everything was very good with the apartment. It was very, great location, amenities, but our main issue was the air conditioning that wasn’t working properly. The control panel was malfunctioning and the vents sounded very loud and noisy. A young man helped us the first day we arrived, but the second night it wasn’t working.

This is an office building that was gutted and converted into apartments, which have full kitchens, a living and dining area and a large bedroom. Furnishings are mid-century modern and sparse but comfortable, it's really all you need. If I was staying in central Ottawa for an extended period of time I would definitely stay here. According to my adult son, the mattress of the pullout couch in the living room is not great, he felt every spring - you are warned!

I’m not a fan of digital check-ins. I’ve been left outside w faulty codes in the past. Exercise w care. It’s convenient for the hotel not for me. Doing an online checkin verification process from Europe was painful. Time consuming and the customer service were of no use what do ever.

There were renovations underway and the “mild” paint smell in the lobby made it up to our room on the upper floors and was nauseating. We left a day early and the staff did not accommodate the change in itinerary as I had not booked directly. Also, the toilet did not always work - it would not refill the water in the upper basin without manual intervention.

Excellent stay. The hotel is clean and offers all the amenities you need. Easy to replenish supplies if needed. The fitness and games room were a bonus. Located in the heart of downtown within walking distance to parliament buildings, Ottawa River, Chateau Laurier, Byward Market, Rideau Center and lots of restaurants.

This low frills accommodation was perfect for my needs. Apartment style units, cleaned upon request, extra coffee/tea etc. for the early mornings available at a ‘help yourself’ stand. The separate living area really was perfect for winding down at the end of a long day, felt like home!
