I had an issue with the shower head that feel off. The first person we spoke too sent maintnance but offered nothing else. I spoke to another dront desk clerk the following day and she was fantastic, offered a partial discount and was incredibly friendly. Sadly, the balcony from our roo. was basically unusable do to all the pigeons, their droppings and the resulting smell. Hallways and elevator were not well cleaned, but the room was in a good state and the bed was very comfy. All of downtown was withjn walking distance and there was places to eat all around.
This picture was taken a 3 minute walk from the hotel.

Nice view of the Rideau Canal. Other than that, this property is awful, smelly and extremely dated. The room didn't seem clean, and smelled of urine. The shower grout was black with mildew. There was unrepaired damage all over the place, from worn-out carpet to marks on the walls. What repairs had been made appeared perfunctory and improvised. The elevator was tiny for a building its size, only big enough for 3 people max. The breakfast offerings were unappealing, consisting of bagels, bread, cereal and yogurt. A pancake machine was there, but the batter bag wasn't installed; evidently, the staff didn't want to clean the machine unless a patron took the time to figure out how to put the bag in and operate it on their own. Avoid.

Convenient location

Room was old but clean. Bed comfortable, towels nice and soft, air conditioner worked very well. Location was convenient for what we needed and canal behind the hotel makes a pretty view from rooms. Staff not friendly or helpful. Building is old—doors stick and carpet needs to be replaced. Pub next door was excellent!

Only hotel with rooms

Older business in need of alot of renovation. It was the last options in our budget. Non smoking rooms smelled like smoke from guests smoking on balcony, carpets where old and questionably clean, bathroom needed a deep cleaning. What was good, lovely view if no one was smoking on neighbouring balcony, A/C worked and the sheets where clean.

The stafff was attentive and responsive to our needs. The facilities are in a poor state of repair and the location is not very pleasant except for the proximity to the river. The view from the rooms is nice, since they all look over the river
