Perfect little gem.
Charming little gem! Wish I'd known about this place 3 years ago! Great breakfast included. All you could want in a spotless, reasonably-priced, comfortable Inn downtown... bar fridge with freezer, microwave, coffeemaker & coffee & creamers... all the right touches, including a cozy, cotton bathrobe!! Older, but excellent... like a fine wine. Even has some limited underground parking--an absolute must in the Canadian winter, for this gal with mobility problems. 24-hour concierge... felt absolutely safe. Will definitely be back! Thank you, Byward Blue!!
