The room was very clean with plenty of plugs for recharging devices. We loved the easy access to our vehicle, excellent water pressure, comfortable bed, the free parking & simple breakfast. Due to poor communication with Expedia, we accidentally overstayed by 1 day, but when we returned to our room that evening, hotel staff were only kind and understanding. I was dubious when we first arrived to check-in as the pot-holes and flickering “office” sign made me wonder if the place was a dive. But we would absolutely stay here again and recommend it with enthusiasm.

We liked that our room was an end unit, it was very quiet even though we were on a flight path. Room was spacious, bed was very comfortable. Only suggestion: would be nice if they provided trays to take your juice, coffee, cereal, muffin and yogurt back to your room. Hard to juggle. They do not have a breakfast area to eat in.

Area is perfectly quiet. Older building, don't expected too much. There is not much of other facilities or if, there is any, the front desk didn't mention. It's clean that's all you can expected. Pricing compare with the others, I'll still pick here for short stay in Ottawa. Front desk in the morning is not professional, most the answers that provided "I don't know?" WiFi connections was bad. Most of the time, I can't connect.

The facility reminded me of those that predominantly existed up until 25 years ago, for example using a key rather than a swipe card for room entry/exit. Single floor and double floor; very tidy room. Nutshell? Pretty well everything good!

If you are looking for a property with good value look no more. The rooms are comfortable, clean, plenty of extra seating and lighting. It’s in a pleasant setting with open landscaping in front of it and available lawn seating in the warmer months. Breakfast is small continental but all you really need to get started. I will come back again and recommend it to friends.

Okey Dokey Stay

The room was nice (though the toilet roll holder was broken). Better inside than outside. Exterior needs maintenance. "Breakfast" was minimal. We unfortunately did not realize part of the inn was two storey - two of us with mobility limitations had a real struggle getting to our 2nd floor room which we were told could not be changed.
