Overall, the room was excellent - very clean and spacious for 2 beds. Lots of choices for breakfast. The check in and check out process needs improvement since it is only handled by 1 person at a desk, and you have to wait in line which can waste a lot of time. The area was walkable with lots of food choices around. The street is busy so it can be noisy at night. Parking is horrible. The garage beside this residence was under construction and poorly lit and never had parking spots available. Finding parking was a challenge every night of our stay until we found a garage around the corner at another hotel. For the cost per night, this is an excellent choice!

It was a super comfortable stay. The accommodation is spacious and the location is pristine. Without paying top tier prices, you can’t find a better location. I’d stay in UOttawa Residence again.

The best aspect of this stay is its convenient location downtown—easy walking distance to By-ward market, the Capital buildings & galleries. The room wasn’t serviced once in our four-night stay. Not at all comfortable—the towels, blankets, mattresses & pillows were very low quality.

It was very convenient, a few minutes walk to the university building we were going to. I was very thankful for the easy parking lot right outside of the residence. Full sized fridge with freezer was great. I realize it is residence, well used, but I thought the price was high for the condition of the rooms; in comparison to some nice hotels I stayed in recently, only about $20-30 more for higher end. Each of the 2 rooms was supposed to have a smart tv but 1 room had an old tv with nothing on it. The tv in the other room was Roku with lots to watch so I had to invade the other guest’s room. Not the end of the world, just not what we expected with the info we had. We also received a notification that Rogers was going into all the rooms one day whether you answered your door or not between 10-6. I didn’t love the idea of someone coming in while I was away but assumed they would be escorted by university staff. I happened to be there when they showed up, he was less than a minute but the Rogers employee was alone, unescorted. They only offer room cleaning every 3 days and I believe you have to request it as there is no do not disturb doorknob hanger which was fine as I prefer my privacy and I clean up after myself. The beds are a little sad looking but surprisingly comfortable. Great option if you get a good deal and aren’t particular about aesthetics.
