We had to stay over night from at the drive from Quebec to Ottawa, so we had no time to look up the quality of the hotel. Finaly we found this place and we book a room for us and our 5 year old boy. I payed the room with my credit card and before paying they put the credit card number into their computer. They tell me that they have guest who a charging back the amount they have paid. This should have been a warning sign for me, because after the experience I had in this hotel I can understand every one who is doing this. To the room : The bed was dirty and smelling and we had some little flying guests with us. I have to say that I am not very picky and I have been three months in Inda at local hotels, but what I saw here is hard to stand when you are living in a civilized aria . Everything in this hotel is old and dirty. The toilette is cleaned mainly from the outside. You can open the window put you have to do it carefully, because the flygrid is only a little bit fixed. They have an old fan in the room. The plates look like dipped into dird. Never again

This was the worst, most run down, filthy building inside and out that I have ever stayed in. The ceiling leaked and water was dripping on the floor, the a/c didn't work one night, the windows have no screen, the bathroom shelf was broken, the carpets are filthy. It is very noisy, My extended family came here this weekend for my son's wedding and were all horrified to have to stay overnight. One brother in law had an allergic reaction to the musty carpets, he also got a shock when he tried to turn on his blow dryer, and also fell through the floor board on the deck outside which is in sad repair. The front steps of the building have torn carpet and garbage and weeds all around it. The inside lobby is a mess. The lobby desk has been kicked in, and the adjoining common rooms are filled with families cooking and young children yelling and screaming until all hours of the night. These people are obviously living in the building. The closed restaurant was filled with young men of the same nationality hanging out. No one cleans the rooms. We stayed 4 awful nights and only had our bed made up once. All my family left town early because of their horrible experience here. It was suppose to be a family reunion and wedding celebration weekend. What a disaster

You stand for quite a while waiting for service at the front desk. It's like you've disturbed them. Its probably the cheapest around and there's a reason for that....they don't care! You really don't want to look under the bed, in fact just dont look to closley at anything and you'll be fine.
