As a female solo traveller, the entrance to this property was concerning for me. There were apparent junkies at the entrance every time I was trying to enter and they watched me try to input the door code which made me very uncomfortable.
With that being said, there are lots of security cameras inside the building. It very much feels like an apartment building as well, not a hotel vibe.
The room itself was rundown. The couch had a stain on it, one of the kitchen cupboards was broken, the fan was broken and some of the flooring was not done properly. However, for the price in Ottawa this place is fantastic. I wouldn't recommend staying here for honey moon or anything fancy, but for a quick stay, it has a bed, a functioning kitchen and the location is unbeatable (other than the front door).
Parking is also not included. I parked in the mall overnight and had to pay so factor that into your costs.
Again this is a great stay for the price and I would stay again but as a female solo traveller, I wouldn't want to arrive by night.
