lovely stay near byward market
breakfast varietyideal locationamazing stafffull parking
The breakfast offered a nice variety, i especially liked the croissants. the location was also ideal. it was very close to the byward market and other key attractions. I easily walked to the parliament buildings! the staff was amazing and helped me with directions.
the parking situation was a little inconvenient because the hotel parking was full upon my arrival. i then had to find street parking, which took some time, and the extra cost was unexpected.
