Very good

The price versus quality was AMAZING! I was not expecting too much but layout was spacious with 2 closed rooms & a closed bathroom. There was a fridge, and microwave in the kitchen area & a tv with roku in each room!.There were also vending machines in the lobby (though the drink one wasnt accepting coins). Parking was easy although l it filled up at night and there were maybe 3-4 spots left. My only issues: the shower pressure was very high and the water came out pretty hard. Also the metal bed frames are very sharp & my 5 year old scraped her leg pretty badly walking around the bed 😞 I ended up putting face clothes on the corners of the frame. I would still suggest this place hands down as its one of the best prices in town!
Close to Parliament and major attractions
If you drive, park and pay for the parking, then you can walk to all the major attractions
room is clean
friendly service
depending on your luck, you might be able to get a nice view of the canal and parliament building
No hair dryer
some electrical outlets (holdes) are too loose to connect to my electrical devices
For family, it's a good deal
The mattresses is supported by a basic metal frame with sharp corners. Because there was too little space between the bedframe and the wall, I hit my knee with the metal frame corner and got a bloody scratch from a, what I could see under further inspection was a RUSTED bed corner.
Basic furnishings but functional, clean and spacious.
Liked the fact that there are two separate bedrooms.
A toaster in the kitchen would be nice to have!
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.
