Clean and spacious room. Friendly staff. Breakfast is rather “grab and go” type but enough for the kids. Enjoyed our one night stay.

Classic, no frills motel style accommodation. Spotlessly clean, comfortable for the one night we stayed and the price can’t be beat. Would stay again, no question.

Honestly, it doesn't look like much from the outside (especially the flickering sign), but the rooms are pleasantly clean and comfortable and the price was right - and for us the location (South Ottawa) was good. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was clean and big enough for our family of 4. We had the king bed and to my surprise the extendable couch was great for the two of us adults to sleep in. The weather outside was -19 and bellow but the room was warm and cozy.
For us the hotel was basically next to the basin where our kids had the water polo tournament at Napaean SportsPlex.
The big parking space allows us to have the car park easy accessible right in front of our door.
