We has such a comfortable stay here! Check-in was seamless and the room was very well equipped with everything we needed: toaster, dishwasher, fridge, basic cutlery, dishes, etc. There were plenty of towels, the beds were clean, and shortly after we checked in to the room, the front desk called us to ensure we had everything we needed. The only tricky part was limited parking; there were parking spaces but most were full. Besides that, we had a wonderful time and will definitely return!!

This nice little hotel was on a main road (Carling Ave) leading into the city from the west, with several other options getting there also, about 15 minutes. Also a very convenient bridge over to Gatineau without going all the way into the city. We discovered we were very close to the SW end of the ice skating hub on the famous Rideau Canal, at Dow's Lake, with tons of recreation there summer and winter. Also the street that is Little Italy leads directly away from Carling Ave and Dow's Lake too, so the hotel has some good things going if you don't want to pay daily parking prices at the city hotels (which don't all have parking anyway). Good bus line outside the hotel too. Bed was super comfortable, room was spacious. We had a standard king.

The property is fairly old and not updated. The beds were not comfortable at all. Felt like I was sleeping on springs and they were very squeaky. No breakfast available unless you paid for the attached restaurant.

I didn't like the fact that the doors were locked when I arrived for check-in at 9pm. I stood at the door waiting to and waiting to be allowed in. At this same time my daughter was snug inside going through the process of being checked in to our room.
