This was a really great place to stay for a weekend getaway. Room was very clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast was very good. It is a little tucked away so a bit hard to find. There is parking under the Inn, albeit limited, but ample parking in lot beside. Very courteous staff. Great location, within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and sites. The room was a little chilly and no extra blankets in the room. (I did get one upon request though.) I would suggest to bring slippers, and very glad I did. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

We stayed at the Byward Blue Inn and had a wonderful experience. The area is beautiful and quiet. Our room was clean and comfortable, with fresh sheets, bath robes, fluffy towels and a convenient little kitchenette that included reusable plates, cups, microwave and an electric kettle for boiling water. Breakfast was included and offered plenty of options; from warm, tasty croissants to potatoes, eggs, bacon, cereal, fresh coffee, delicious chocolate muffins, and more. Everything was satisfying and well prepared. The receptionist was warm and welcoming, and the location was excellent; close to activities, attractions, and restaurants. Overall, our stay was very pleasant, and we will definitely be back.

We loved this stay. The breakfast is excellent, the room perfect size and clean. All staff is very friendly. The only thing that needs to change is the shower pressure was not enough and the coffee at the breakfast bar is awful. The underground parking was so great too. Worth the $15 per night as there was a snow storm while we were there.

What a gem in the Byward Market. Cute and immaculate Inn with cozy rooms, balconies with a view, accommodating staff, and all the extras to make your stay stress-free (mini kitchen, robes, comfy beds, lovely decor). I would not hesitate to stay here again! It was even quiet at night as to not have my sleep disturbed.
