We stayed here last summer for four days. The rooms are located a walking distance to everything in the market which is extremely handy. We were on a higher floor facing the market. I must say while it was somewhat noisy on a weekend night that due to this location that is really unavoidable. Great people watching from our balcony though! I always insist on places that have balconies because hotels can be so stuffy and air quality can suffer due to carpets, cleaning products and such. The balcony here was decent size for two people as opposed to some places I've stayed. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Yes, the t.v. is not the most modern in the world yet. That's okay with us as we are not really big t.v. fans anyway.
The mattresses could do with some replacing soon but, they were not bad enough to bother me much at all and I have RA in my spine. So if they were really that bad they would bother me to the point of not being able to sleep at all. That wasn't the case here. As I said, it' is efficient. It's not luxury. I find Ottawa sorely lacking in decent, higher end hotels so I never bother even looking for such places here. I just go with these extended stay apartments of which there are several. None of the others however are in this stellar location. This one is my go to when I have anything I need to get done in or near By Ward.
It is lovely to have the kitchen for mornings, make your coffee then go sit out on the balcony and enjoy the sun coming up over the market. Truly relaxing.
Parking was tight indeed but, doable. It does make me miss the subway type cities I most enjoy such as London and New York though where a car is totally not necessary nor is it wanted.
If you want a place down town with lots of room, clean efficient, apt sized then this is an excellent choice for you.
