We will return when back in Ottawa
Pros:

Quiet & clean room. Great location for day tripping. Wonderful friendly staff. Liked the refillable options for shampoo etc. Great vibe with modern fixtures and high ceilings!

Cons:

The lights in bathroom should be brighter & the mirror was too high for me to use.
Didn’t know until arriving that parking was offsite and an extra expense. This may have been our fault for not inquiring. Found it hard to regulate the temperature in room.

Pros:

The reception area and cafe were great and my daughter particularly enjoyed playing pool and relaxing inside when it was super hot out or raining. The staff were lovely. Very convenient location. Be sure to check out the binder at reception with restaurant suggestions etc.

Cons:

An in-room safe, interior chain to lock door from inside, and individually controlled lights (when my daughter went to bed before I did, we either had to have all the lights on or all the lights off) would increase the comfort.

Had a great night sleep.
Pros:

The property was in a great location. We were lucky and got packing at the lot very close by. I love how modern looking it was. It was very clean. The beds were very comfy.

Cons:

The hotel itself was clean and well-located, but the bathroom setup was a major disappointment. There was a window in the shower that opened directly into the room, and the bathroom door didn’t close properly — it didn’t latch or provide any real privacy. This design might work for a solo traveler, but for anyone else, especially those who value even a basic level of privacy, it’s a dealbreaker. It’s baffling that such an important detail was overlooked. Would not recommend for couples, friends, or families.
