Simply Luxury Stays Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Simply Luxury Stays on Queen Mary Street, you know what struck me first? It doesn’t try too hard to impress you with flashy signage or over-the-top décor. This three-star property has this understated confidence that I actually found refreshing. The building itself fits right into the neighborhood — you’re not staying in some sterile hotel tower, but rather what feels like a well-appointed urban retreat that locals probably walk past every day without realizing what’s inside.
The Location Sweet Spot
Here’s the thing about staying in Ottawa — location really matters, and this place nails it. Queen Mary Street puts you in this perfect middle ground where you’re close enough to downtown that you can easily get to Parliament Hill or the ByWard Market, but you’re not dealing with all the tourist chaos right outside your door. I mean, there’s free parking right on site, which honestly is worth its weight in gold in this city. The couples who stay here seem to get it — they’re rating the location over 9 out of 10, and I can see why. You’ve got that residential feel with urban convenience.
The Room Experience
The room I stayed in was — well, it was exactly what you’d want from a place like this. Clean lines, comfortable bed, and everything actually worked (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case). What I appreciated was the attention to practical details — good lighting for reading, enough outlets where you need them, and a bathroom that doesn’t make you feel like you’re playing Tetris every time you turn around. It’s not trying to be fancy, but it’s thoughtfully designed in a way that makes your stay smoother.
What Sets It Apart
You know what really impressed me? The staff actually seems to care about getting the details right. They’re not just going through the motions — there’s this genuine helpfulness that you notice pretty quickly. The property consistently gets ratings in the 9+ range, and honestly, after staying there, I get it. It’s not about having the most amenities or the fanciest lobby; it’s about doing the fundamentals really well and making sure guests feel taken care of without all the fuss.
Why Guests Love It
If you’re looking for a place that delivers on the basics while giving you a genuine sense of place in Ottawa, this works really well. The combination of that prime location, reliable service, and the fact that you’re not paying five-star prices for three-star quality makes it a solid choice. Couples especially seem to appreciate the balance — you’re getting privacy and comfort without being stuck in some generic chain property. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that just get the fundamentals right, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here.
