Great location but that’s about it.

The location is great however the condition of the room was a little sad. I had to chase down my check in information the morning of my stay. Even though they say they’ll send an e-mail 24hours prior. The bedding had stains on it. The flooring in the room was in very poor condition. The bathroom was very pokey and not exceptionally clean. Overall the property has potential but at the moment it’s falling short of value for money.

Not so suite

When you think of a suite, you think of an elegant room. This was far from it. The floor looked like it had water damage and was very uneven, with appliances propped up on their corners. The sheets were dirty, stains were on the curtains and it just had an overall unpleasant odor and vibe. The screaming outside and homeless people blocking the door didn't help. The location was fantastic and check-in was easy..but I wouldn't come back. It might be okay for a night but nothing long term.

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.

It was a good stay for the price. great location for not having a vehicle and walking around the market. We stayed in room 9 which was up 2 flights of stairs and had a baby so tricky to haul the stroller up and down when coming and going. No elevator. A bit noisy with the street traffic while in the room but otherwise was pretty clean and comfy bed. Also prompt responses from the host via text access which was nice. Would stay again if needed.

Convenient Location

Safe, clean, and location is great with walking distance to foods, groceries, shopping. The unit has basic needs covered, like dishes, utensils, basic cookware. Giant Tiger, Dollarama and the shopping mall is very nearby for most anything else. Small basket of snacks was a lovely touch. Small bathroom but there is lots of space in the living area. And good wi-fi signal. the few times I needed to contact (via text) I received very prompt replies.
