A mini appartement in Ottawa
Well located in Ottawa, quiet, large bedrooms… more an apt than a room. Large bathroom that has been renovated. Well-equipped kitchen for a longer stay. Clean, busy breakfast included, many food choices. Happy with that choice of hôtel

가족들과 1박을 지냈는데 만족합니다. 리뷰만 보고 예약했는데 가격도 위치도 만족스러웠으며 주차도 유료긴 하지만 가격이 합리적이였고 투 더블베드 방은 넓찍하고 깨끗했습니다. 아침식사도 건강식은 아니지만 나름 종류도 다양하고 기대이상이였어요. 팬시한 호텔은 아니지만 짧게 머무르거나 가족끼리 머무르기 좋아서 추천합니다. 아 오타와 시내의 한식당들과 거리도 멀지않아서 좋았어요.
