Nice and clean place, especially the washrooms are kept really clean. The breakfast offered in the morning is good as well. All in all, a really nice place to spend the night with so much of history involved.

Cool place to stay while in Ottawa. Some of the individual rooms appear to be cells that have been split in two, and not the original size of the cells. I stayed in one of these, which are quite small.
