The small homey bar/grill was pleasant surprise ! Situated in the basement in a room with no windows and with one server who also tended bar , we weren’t sure what to expect . However the service was excellent and the food was as well . We were planning on eating most meals there . First meal I ordered a burger figuring that it would tell a lot . The lettuce and tomato were fresh ; the cheese was a fine cheddar . It was one of the best burgers I have ever had . Breakfast was great ! The grilled chicken with Brie and cranberry aioli was really good . Our room was clean and the bed comfortable . It is very convenient to the Ottawa Civic hospital and the Civic Heart Institute . Taxi to the hospital, with tip , was $10. We would stay there again .

Room had hard vinyl plank flooring, couldn't turn off heating fan, hot water was not hot only luke warm. Had to leave $100.00 can. as a deposit, was told it would only be cancelled from my credit card after 3-5 days. (hotel must get short term interest from all the deposits by guests staying there, people aren't stupid) Onsight restaurant was not open for breakfast, very small limited café nearby. Check-in 4:00 pm but check-out 11:00 am. so basically 19 hour room rental.
