“I see a commitment to sustainability and recent renovations that keep things fresh, plus it's hard to argue with a location minutes from Byward Market. The on-site restaurant, Albion Rooms, offers a seasonal menu that seems worth exploring; however, some rooms might be noisy due to the building's structure and ongoing construction nearby. For those prioritizing location and eco-consciousness, this could be a solid base in Ottawa.”
