Byward Blue Inn has become our go-to place because it’s just a 20 minute walk to my family in one direction and easy walking access the other direction to Parliament Hill and Byward Market. Late May the tulips are still in bloom even though it was after the Tulip Festival. The room was fine and the breakfast very good.
