I wish I could give 5 stars to the staff and services. The staffs in breakfast room and room service who greeted and smiled at you. But the front desk not so much. The night when we checked in, the old guy behind the check in counter was rude and impatient when I asked for the parking directions. He shouldn’t be in hospitality business.

Location, location, location. Two blocks to the National Art Gallery, right next to Byward Market. Walking distance to to pretty much all the venues. Major Hill park, Rideau Canal and locks. The breakfast was good, plentiful, simple and well made. Staff were friendly and excellent. There was no down side to this hotel. Public parking garage right next door and reasonable about 34 dollars for two half days and one full day.
