Exceeded our expectations. We liked how spacious and clean it was and well stocked with full fridge and kitchen and enough supplies. Nice clean shower and washroom, comfy beds, lovely decor. Super simple check in and out. Absolutely no complaints and definitely would recommend and return!
Check in and check out was fast and easy. Room was spacious. Bed was very low, not easy for someone with bad knees use. No wash cloths were provided. Floors were very dusty and needed vacuuming.
We stayed four nights
And the luxury suite
And it was amazing
The staff are so nice
Chelsea was so responsible
For all our needs
All in all, we had a great stay
And we will be back
Cozy Boutique hotel in a beautiful town on the river. Would recommend for a little weekend getaway or if your looking for something more relaxing in the Ottawa area. Great place to experience French language and culture as well.
Very clean. Very welcoming. Easy check-in and check-out. Holiday decor a very nice touch.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The Hotel is in an old building that looks nicely maintained. There's a pub there, a coffee shop/cafe, and some nice outdoor patio/seating areas. There is no hotel staff on site. We did not receive the check in instructions before our arrival and had to scramble with help from the restaurant staff and a property manger for some apartments attached to the hotel to help us (the mix up may have been by the remote hotel management staff or and issue with Expedia messaging). The room was bleak, very inexpensive furniture and beds, with primer paint patches on a few walls and a 5 cm diameter hole in another. After placing the booking, the hotel had messaged us about street noise, particularly on the weekends. It would be nice if they let you know that before booking as if seems like the agreed upon smoking section was right below our room.
We would not stay there again. It's a shame, because the property (other than the actual room) is pretty nice and it's a cute little town with a nice downtown and some decent restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The lack of staff on site is also an issue for us; one of the advantages of a hotel is having that support. Without it, you might as well find a short term rental.
It is a beautifully designed and constructed historic rehab with great amenities. A great hotel with a fantastic pub, and delicious cafe. A win, win, win. If ever back in the area, we will absolutely stay there again.
