I stayed in a single room, and it was quiet and the washrooms were accessible when I needed them. This area of Ottawa feels a bit unsafe, so I'd caution backpackers to be cautious when walking around at night, and always have a companion. I was fine during my stay, but I wouldn't want anyone else to have a negative experience. ##### Jenn Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If your expectations are hotel styled probably not formyou!
