Family-focused reviews and ratings
Our wedding night was perfect! The room was comfortable, the jacuzzi was amazing, and the staff went above and beyond by chilling our champagne. The location was great for exploring the city.
Cozy and historic! The decor was beautiful, and the location was great for exploring Ottawa's landmarks and nightlife. Breakfast in the main living room was a wonderful experience!
Wonderful two-night stay! The staff were incredibly nice and efficient, always smiling. My room was spotless and had everything I needed. Breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect for exploring downtown Ottawa. I especially loved the historical aspect of the inn - it really added to the experience!
Our second stay here was just as wonderful as the first! The room was spotless, and the location was perfect - close enough to downtown but quiet for sleeping. We loved the thoughtful touches, like the lip balm and bath crystals.
A charming, unique inn with tons of character and history! The room was comfortable, and breakfast was great. Location was good, though a bit of a walk to some sites. Staff were super friendly and accommodating.
