Lovely hotel.

I loved this hotel/motel. The building is surrounded by lush trees and grass and feels a bit like your in a garden. The man at the desk was very nice. I love that you have an actually metal key and not plastic. The tv worked. There was space for a bed and a little sitting area. As a single female i felt safe. This hotel was perfect for me!

Love their beds

Beds are comfortable! We like that it’s pretty quiet here and not a high rise building. You can park for free outside of your room.

Amazing property! Family owned business that really cares about the place. The muffins at the included continental breakfast are homemade and delicious! I loved my extended stay here. They also had a place for some family that came to visit during my stay. They also loved it and extended there stay also.

Great little place to stay while we got our son settled in at university. My one and only disppointment with the room itself was the amount of fruit flies in the room. We captured many in a home made fruit fly trap. Minor thing, but icky nonetheless.

A nice place to stay and rest

For my first time in this motel, I was really satisfied by the welcoming attitude of the people at the lobby desk, the clean and comfortable room, the location in Nepean very near of my places of personal interest, the very good price. Only a little disappointment: the poor breakfast. But I'll come back there next time I'll be in Ottawa for its excellent value for money. We spent five great days there.

The room was spacious and clean. The location perfect and quiet. The bed v comfortable. The in room coffee a challenge, but could have some at breakfast time from the office. Might have been nice to have tea as an option in the room. Will stay here again when I visit Ottawa!

Air conditioning unit or something similar in the room above us came on at around 2am, woke us up and made it virtually impossible to get back to sleep. On the plus side when I told motel staff the next day they were apologetic and said they would have someone look into it.

Property was well kept and staff were friendly but the bed did not have fitted sheet on the mattress and I had to go and ask for bedding for the pull out sleeper sofa. If you advertise the room with a pull out sleeper sofa, you should have the bedding in the room to go with it. Other then that the stay was good.
