Very capable and accommodating staff, easy access on foot to downtown, clean facility and rooms with more than adequate air conditioning, plenty of parking directly adjacent to the facility. Overall good value.
Staff was friendly, location was great. Affordable! Everything went very smooth. I guess my only complaint would be the building and room didnt smell very nice. It was tolerable though and I would still stay here again.

Location and the price are great. Simple accommodations. Staffs are very friendly and helpful.
Really good placefor the price. Perfect for budget travelers. Strategic location, near DT Ottawa. However, the beds are really small. Perfect for 2 people, but a bit cramped for 4.
Helpful staff and clean and comfortable accommodation.
Well located with LRT stop on campus.
Easy walk to Byward Market and NAC
For extended stay bring kitchen utensils
Very clean and spacious rooms. Staff were super helpful and friendly. We arrived early and were able to check our baggage in while we explored. Great views from our room. 10 minute walk to the mall. We only stayed for 1 night but would definitely come back if in town again.
The stay was nice and very clean rooms however our toilet was clogged before we arrived and did not work unfortunately during our stay

Everything was fine, very good shower, clean rooms, it is a university residence so we knew it would be well used. Beds were more like hammocks, new mattresses needed!
Parking was extra, it was clean, had a good sized fridge freezer and was about what you’d expect considering it’s a dorm. Can’t complain for the price. Would do it again if I needed to.
Onsite parking is great and a fairly reasonable price. If 2 people share a bed you kind of sink in towards each other. The beds are really for one person. Staff was friendly & helpful. We had a great view. You do need to bring kitchen towels, cloth & utensils as there aren’t any in the suite. Nice to have 2 bedrooms to a suite.
