Facility was very clean. Night staff was very helpful even though we arrived around midnight. Breakfast could have been more organized though I believe it wasn't the normal staff.

Great experience.... not the luxurious stay if you're looking for that.... but clean and quite the experience. The tour is a must and the historical perspective is amazing

A unique & interesting stay in a historic jail. Single twin room was 3' x 9' with everything else you would need in a tiny room - bed, linens, mirror, hooks. Staff is friendly and though the place is old, it is incredibly clean. Overall, this was one of the coolest places I have ever stayed and I will visit avain next time I am in Ottawa!

There was no forms at all? 100s of spoons and knives?

The matresses were uncomfortable and the pillow was too soft. People were very loud with their doors so sleeping in wasnt an option, meaning it gets very noisy at 7 am.
