Overall a positive experience
Service at front desk was very friendly and accomidating.
Location was great, within walking distance to many downtown attractions.
We were in Ottawa in the middle of a heat wave so the air conditioned room was amazing.
The beds were a little uncomfortable, glad I brought additional pillow.
Overall a positive experience.

Need new bed.
The mattresses need to be replaced with the new one. Very uncomfortable. We can feel the spring and bend in the middle. We couldn’t sleep well.

Good hotel for downtown Ottawa
This hotel is walking distance to Parliament. It's a university dormitory, but guests have private rooms with private bathrooms. Price was decent. Not fancy, but spacious rooms. I would stay again.
