Really a 3.5 rating, it took 4-5 minutes to get hot water and the room was hot with no ac to cool it down. Thankfully could open the window. Breakfast had bacon... so 3 stars for that alone

Great little Euro style hotel. Had 2 twin beds. Balcony, really nice washroom. Tiny kitchenette which was beautifully finished. Newly renovated small location. Seemed very private right in Byward market. Walk to everything even with a foot of snow. Breakfast was decent, bacon eggs has browns and all the breads etc you would want for a quick out the door morning snack. Reasonable underground parking in downtown. Will definitely return.
