I stayed at this lovely hotel in Ottawa. The rooms were spacious and decorated in a calming style, perfect for winding down after a busy day. However, the shared bathroom situation could be challenging during peak times. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and helpful couple managing everything. The location was ideal for exploring the city's attractions, but the accommodation was slightly further from downtown. The dining options were somewhat limited, but the organic vegetables were a nice touch.

My stay at the Downtown B&B was a mix of comfort and some challenges. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, allowing for a good night's sleep every night, but they tended to get too hot and stifling, especially on the second floor. Overall, the cozy rooms with comfy beds and nice decor made for a pleasant stay. The complimentary breakfast offered a variety of options, although the shared bathroom situation could be inconvenient during busy times.

The hotel is in a prime location in downtown Ottawa, across from the Nature Museum, offering easy access to the city's attractions. The rooms are cozy, peaceful, but perhaps a bit outdated. The service provided by the kind and excellent care-taking staff is commendable. Dining options are below average, but the facilities are well-maintained.
