I was blown away by what this place offered! My room was spacious and had a full kitchen, including stove and oven, fridge and freezer, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, and every kitchen utensil I could imagine. Laundry machines were free to use, and the front counter even gave me free detergent! I have paid more than double this price in Vancouver for a room with none of these amenities, so the value is exceptional.
My first red flag: I was pretty uncomfortable about needing to register my biometrics and ID on their website in order to confirm the reservation, so that was weird. It was easy and quick to do on my phone, though.
My other red flag turned out not to be an issue. I entered the room and saw earplugs and a white noise machine, which made me worry about neighbourhood noise. Thankfully it was completely quiet (except for the thunder we had one night).
The location is ideal: a few blocks away is Parliament Hill to the northwest, the lively Elgin Street restaurants to the southeast, and Rideau Centre to the north. All were within a 10 minute walk.
The staff were wonderful whenever I needed anything.
Highly recommend this place! Ideal accommodation.
