Property was okay-ish. Certainly adequate for the price. However, signage regarding parking within and around the main lot is abysmal and the need for a permit was not even mentioned at check-in. Received an $80 ticket that could have been avoided if the accommodation asked the question literally every hotel I've ever been to has asked: "will you be parking a vehicle during your stay?". The property and Expedia were both no help in resolving the situation. Overall, a terrible end to a merely okay stay.

This place is more than adequate for our family. It was clean, the parking was available and cheap, and it's walking distance from Parliament Hill. The mattress was not the most comfortable but it was acceptable. If I'm in Ottawa again in the summer, I'd like to stay here again.

Very close to LRT. Walking distance to canal, downtown Ottawa. The university grounds are open and pleasant to walk through. Room is typical of a student dormitory. There is an odour in the room that might be from fabric/air freshener which is not good for people with sensitivities or allergies.

The two bedroom suite is very spacious for the price. It was pretty quiet during our stay. Since we went to Ottawa during a heatwave week, we were worried about the AC but turns out the building has centralized AC and each room has AC outlet and the strength was great. It actually felt a bit too cold during the night so we needed to ask for more blankets, which the staff kindly provided. The residence is located near a few good bus stops and terminals so exploring the city has economic transportation options, plus the Uber and Lyft service in Ottawa are surprisingly affordable, just make sure you call Uber / Lyft with the correct pickup spot as the residence maybe a bit hard to find for new drivers. What I think they could improve, is providing a bit more amenities, such as paper towel, water kettle, hair dryer. Especially hair dryer seems to be a necessity for any room that has proper shower (which this residence have and pretty decent). I was reading lots of review on expedia and called beforehand to inquire what are and arenot available, and brought with me many things to make the week easier. I was told the frontdesk has hairdryer to rent but turns out to be not true. The bed, although officially double, is thin and not really made for sleeping two adults. One adult and a child is passable but you can't be picky about comfort otherwise will be disappointed. Overall, for this price, this residence is a very good option for economic traveling to the heart of Ottawa.

Seperate 2 clean rooms for this price is amazing. No frills but the basic necessities are there. The bed matress was not comfortable for 2 woman to share as it sinks in the middle. But it's tolerable for one night for us. Would be fine if you use it alone.
