“This spot strikes me as a real find in Ottawa's Golden Triangle, where its Edwardian bones add a touch of history to a very walkable downtown location. I appreciate that it's set up well for families, offering suite options that include kitchenettes, a detail that makes longer stays feel more manageable, and its guesthouse vibe provides a personal touch that I value.”
