We loved this stay. The breakfast is excellent, the room perfect size and clean. All staff is very friendly. The only thing that needs to change is the shower pressure was not enough and the coffee at the breakfast bar is awful. The underground parking was so great too. Worth the $15 per night as there was a snow storm while we were there.

What a gem in the Byward Market. Cute and immaculate Inn with cozy rooms, balconies with a view, accommodating staff, and all the extras to make your stay stress-free (mini kitchen, robes, comfy beds, lovely decor). I would not hesitate to stay here again! It was even quiet at night as to not have my sleep disturbed.
