“Hopefully will be back!”
+I liked how the first experienced visitor in Ottawa only for the second time, I really liked how low key but hosting a very much needed and delightful breakfast. It was always refreshing to speak with the staff and the people there as it’s more like a great value fairly downtown and the prince was much worth the amount including tax. :)
−The only thing I would have done differently was to get a different room but honestly it was a former jail so I would be totally already familiar with my own situation previously but much comfortable.

+Location, staff, the 'quaintness', very unusual character
−Not quite enough toilets, one really has to be prepared for how snall a single 'cell' really is- but that's no criticism , just to be realistic

“Great place, great value, excellent location, the staff werewolf cool.”
+Its a historic building that offers a different experience from other hotels I’ve been to. The showers and the bathrooms were clean both times that I went. The breakfast options were solid for me. There’s plenty of restaurants within walking distance plus the mall across the street. The staff definitely seem like they care.
−Movie night needs a projector screen. The parking lot scanner and code are don’t work sometimes. It needs a new system.

+The location was perfect,within walking distance of most attractions! The staff were very helpful and kind, and the room was clean. Thanks to the team for their hospitality!
−The only downside was the gaps above and below the room door, which let noise through and reduced privacy.

+Séjour bref car une nuit, mais j’ai tout de même pris beaucoup de plaisir à être passée par là. Le petit déjeuner très varié et copieux. Je m’en voudrais de ne pas mentionner la visite guidée, très instructive, des lieux, avec Taf. Très très apprécié.
