Great property. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was delicious. It was super close to parliament and Byward market which we loved. However, we felt too unsafe to walk around the hotel and ended up taking taxis so if defeat the purpose of getting a hotel in downtown.

The room was very clean, the shower had decent water pressure too!! The breakfast staff was amazing, we stayed for 2 nights and there was a variety of foods each morning. Lots of sitting area to eat. The pool was fun, it is chlorine, not a Salt water and it was cloudy when we went down both nights around 9pm, but we still made it fun :-)
