The room was spacious and clean. The location perfect and quiet. The bed v comfortable. The in room coffee a challenge, but could have some at breakfast time from the office. Might have been nice to have tea as an option in the room. Will stay here again when I visit Ottawa!

Air conditioning unit or something similar in the room above us came on at around 2am, woke us up and made it virtually impossible to get back to sleep. On the plus side when I told motel staff the next day they were apologetic and said they would have someone look into it.

Property was well kept and staff were friendly but the bed did not have fitted sheet on the mattress and I had to go and ask for bedding for the pull out sleeper sofa. If you advertise the room with a pull out sleeper sofa, you should have the bedding in the room to go with it. Other then that the stay was good.

It was a good area, quiet and peaceful. The room smelled very strongly of bleach, so it must have a had a good cleaning. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing really stood out, good overall basic place to stay.
