It's very basic, so if you're just looking for a place to sleep, it fits the bill. The room was clean. The staff was amazing. Absolutely gorgeous location right on the Rideau Canal.

Loved it, was probably the best motel I've ever been to. The staff is very friendly, and there is a very nice canal in the back. There is a bar in the lobby as well full of townies, and the rooms are nice. This is the place to stay if you're in the area.

Leaving out the age, the rooms are always clean, have comfortable beds, abundant hot water, and, Hassan, apologies if spelled wrong, is the most efficient, customer oriented and polite hotel staff for 100km at least. Always handles my simple issues instantly. I stay here for the caring staff more than anyqhere else.

Very old building, needs plenty of upgrades. Room was relatively good, bedding and towels were clean. Balcony overlooking Canal was interesting. Breakfast was adequate. The elevator was small, slow and didn't work all the time. Not certain I'd stay again.

The stafff was attentive and responsive to our needs. The facilities are in a poor state of repair and the location is not very pleasant except for the proximity to the river. The view from the rooms is nice, since they all look over the river

Convenient location

Room was old but clean. Bed comfortable, towels nice and soft, air conditioner worked very well. Location was convenient for what we needed and canal behind the hotel makes a pretty view from rooms. Staff not friendly or helpful. Building is old—doors stick and carpet needs to be replaced. Pub next door was excellent!
