Parking onsite full of massive pot holes. Easy quick check in. Area leaves much to be desired but there is an excellant Iranian restaurant across the street. The hotel hallways and rooml had a strong odour like stale sour cooking. Bed covers and curtains had stains, carpet looked clean. Bed was comfortable and shower worked well. Large gap in front door at the bottom we had to put our coats up against. Bathroom was pretty run down, walls stained. "Breakfast included" was a brown bag with a yogurt, muffin and juice box. Coffee and tea in lobby.

Good: -Great location downtown with free parking and easy walking distances to main attraction. -Not too expansive considering other options, the free parking and the central location. -The room are large and well furnished. Bad: -The exterior of the hotel is really in a big state of disrepair. It does not feel welcoming and inviting. The parking lot is unclean and with potholes. -Although not horrible, the cleanliness of the room was not great. Some part of the floor felt unclean and sticky. -Some people in the area seem a little sketchy. There are a lots of cannabis shops. I think its a poorer neighborhood. I did not felt unsafe though since the hotel is on a main road. -My room was ok after inspecting it, but I checked the review after arriving and saw some critics about bugs (bedbugs and cockroach). You better watch out for these and take precaution. Don't leave your luggages on the floor or on the furnitures.

Don’t stay at this hotel! The rooms are not cleaned, Evan the garbage is not removed daily. There was a gap between the door and the frame. When I told the desk clerk I was told her could give me a towel to put in front of the door. Not helpful. My credit card was charged an extra $100 for what, I don’t know. I called to complain and just said he sent the number to me to complain then hung up. How could he send a number when he did ask any questions. Stay away from the hotel.

if you badly want to stay downtown, this is not a good option, building and parking are in bad shape, need renovation, looks like people live in there or sort of government help, saw lots of women with young kids, kids sometime crying or screaming early morning which can disturb your sleep. breakfast offer is a joke in a paper bag you have 1 muffin 1 yogurt and 1 juice that's it tea and coffee a on table, pretty much take the bag and go back in your room, no seating room there. inside the room is basic beds were comfortable but the blanket is very old, fridge and microwave works fine , AC is very loud have to put it off.their price is way off, better go somewhere else for better services. the staffs were nice and helpful but the place is ruined down. along Rideau street there are other better hotels. Will not come back here specially at this price.

Very good location so we were able to walk to Parliament Hill without bringing the car (22 min walk one way). There was free parking in the inner courtyard. Very near restaurants and shops along Rideau Street.The room was clean with toiletries provided, the queen beds were comfy and there was a microwave oven and a small fridge for heating & storing food. However, we had to ask for more towels at check-in since there were only 2 sets in the room for our party of 4. These were brought by housekeeping immediately. Breakfast was bagged (yogourt, juice box, muffin) with coffee or tea for pick-up at reception. Hotel Staff very polite and helpful. There was no internet or maybe we forgot to ask for it. The walls were not so soundproofed so we could hear voices from the other room(s) if the volume were really loud. It was a very basic hotel; good for just sleeping in. We were given additional bagged breakfast for snacks on our early drive back to Toronto.
