Nicolas, Sep 2019

Pros. The location is incredible, I couldn't ask for better in the heart of the Byward Market. Indigo parking is cheap too $11/Day... I've seen over $20/day in ottawa. We had a room with a balcony, and I loved it. The room's are clean, and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons. if the chairs on the balcony could have been better quality, thats it. Everything was excellent here. Very safe, and secure
