There wasn't a clock in the room or hooks in the bathroom to hang a robe or towel. The refrigerator took a long time to cool things.

Decent stay for the price, clean room, and fairly quiet at night. Breakfast was good as well. Great location. There is a lemon cucumber water cooler in the lobby which is a nice treat. The parking is not attached to the building, it's not too far but a little annoying.

Hotel itself is great. Close to transit options and landmarks if visiting Ottawa as a tourist. Room was excellent and staff were also amazing. Only downside is that area nearby doesn't have much in terms of late-night food options so if arriving in Ottawa late, will want to head towards Byward Market for dining.
