Very enjoyable and affordable

I went there 4 years ago and my return was not disappointing, it was a wonderful experience for 2 nights. Very spacious room, very clean, comfortable queen size bed. Fridge included, flat screen TV with lots of channels. Shower with very good water pressure. Located near Hunt Club Road, 10 minutes from EY Center. It was perfect. There was a light breakfast included, not very big, with fruits, yogurts, cereals, orange juice and MOST important, lots of coffee. Parking in front of the room is an added bonus, easier for unloading our stuff. Good service, affordable and enjoyable stay. Will return, that's guaranteed.

Its a simple stay, but i personally enjoyed it. The staff was very polite and kind. The location is really amazing. 10min from Walmart, and also 10min from EY centre. However, if you are looking for a fancy hotel with an big breakfast and all that, this one may not be for you. It is very simple, but it was comfy for my short trip.

Lovely hotel.

I loved this hotel/motel. The building is surrounded by lush trees and grass and feels a bit like your in a garden. The man at the desk was very nice. I love that you have an actually metal key and not plastic. The tv worked. There was space for a bed and a little sitting area. As a single female i felt safe. This hotel was perfect for me!

Amazing property! Family owned business that really cares about the place. The muffins at the included continental breakfast are homemade and delicious! I loved my extended stay here. They also had a place for some family that came to visit during my stay. They also loved it and extended there stay also.

Great little place to stay while we got our son settled in at university. My one and only disppointment with the room itself was the amount of fruit flies in the room. We captured many in a home made fruit fly trap. Minor thing, but icky nonetheless.

A nice place to stay and rest

For my first time in this motel, I was really satisfied by the welcoming attitude of the people at the lobby desk, the clean and comfortable room, the location in Nepean very near of my places of personal interest, the very good price. Only a little disappointment: the poor breakfast. But I'll come back there next time I'll be in Ottawa for its excellent value for money. We spent five great days there.

Air conditioning unit or something similar in the room above us came on at around 2am, woke us up and made it virtually impossible to get back to sleep. On the plus side when I told motel staff the next day they were apologetic and said they would have someone look into it.
