Beautiful hotel! My first time experiencing a self check in hotel. It was easy once given introductions. I spoke to staff through messaging them in Expedia. They replied very quick. I loved that. I recommend this hotel. Parking is the issue. Road parking is always full and parking in the garage is limited.

The room was exactly as promised - clean and neat. During the weekdays, the bar downstairs was quiet, which was a bonus. The only minor issue was that the room, which had two queen beds, only had one chair. However, the price was very reasonable, and overall, I highly recommend this property.

The hotel is in a beautiful, quiet area that feels tucked away from the city, yet it’s still close enough for easy visits to downtown and right near the regional park. The room was spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the shower was excellent with great water pressure. One of the best features is that the hotel is truly pet-friendly, with no extra fee. Overall, it’s a wonderful spot for both relaxation and convenience, and I’d happily stay here again.

The room was absolutely stunning and beautifully decorated and made an amazing place to surprise my best friend for her birthday. Although the room and the location was amazing, we did have a couple problems during our stay. We were never able to get connected to the Wifi in the room and also the air conditioning in the room was not working all night so made it hard to sleep because it was hot in the room. But the host was very good at responding to help with our troubles and did let us stay 1 hour longer due to these issues happening. Overall, great time staying there!

We've stayed at this hotel 3 times now and love it. Modern, clean, convenient location to everything with a great pub restaurant right next door. We had one issue this time while staying in room #206 we couldn't connect to the internet. Other than that, another excellent stay!

Great size room, clean, quiet, self check in great. The carpet near the shower was lifted and there was a coffee stain on the lamp which I let the host know. The shower stall was right in the bedroom with glass so if you had children or friends, it would be awkward. Would be good if there was a hook near the shower to hang the bath towels. Also, hand cream would be a great addition. Lastly, the air conditioning was loud, but they did provide ear plugs. Very convenient and nice hotel. Check-in and check-out was very easy. Quiet neighbourhood with a beautiful beach and marina which was walkable. Would definitely stay again.

The end of a really nice weekend in the Ottawa area. Stayed at a really nice little hotel in Aylmer, Quebec just across the river known as The British Hotel, built in 1834. Apparently it was quite the brawl room in its heyday. Recently purchased and renovated to include some inexpensive but very modern 2nd floor suites, electronic check-in, lock box entry, self contained pub and restaurant, patio and separate country cafe, at $125/night definitely a place I will be staying at again.
