“What strikes me is the rare combination of apartment-style living with hotel-like service, right in the heart of Ottawa. I appreciate that it is remarkably well-equipped, down to free laundry, and the staff seem genuinely keen to help. A solid choice, especially for longer stays where a bit more space and self-sufficiency make all the difference.”

comfy couches convenient luggage safe space
I really liked that i could access the games room even after checkout. it had comfortable couches, tables, and restrooms! i was able to store my luggage there until my departure. my kid enjoyed the space to play. It was very convenient and safe.
The walls seemed a little thin. I could hear sounds from the hallways sometimes.
