Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms that are impeccably clean and extremely comfortable. The service is top-notch with a very pleasant and polite staff. Its convenient location near key attractions makes it a great choice for exploring Ottawa, though the dining options might be limited. Overall, a fantastic stay with great value for money.
The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were beautifully set up with flowers on the bed, a wrapped gift, and a handwritten card to celebrate our anniversary, which was a lovely touch signed by Shirley. The service was friendly and helpful, although I had to park my own car a block and a half away. The location was praised for its proximity to key attractions like the business district, parliament, and the market, but some found it underwhelming. The dining experience was rated as good, but with a note that it was taking a long time for service.
I couldn't help but notice the ideal central location of this hotel, surrounded by a plethora of shops and restaurants where you can easily indulge. The rooms, while lacking privacy due to their interior aspect, were spacious and provided some insight into the hotel's daily buzz. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a seamless stay. However, the dining options were limited, offering only one main item. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience was delightful.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were beautifully designed, very clean, and had nice quality furniture. However, the price for the small rooms was a bit high considering their size and noise levels. The service was superb, quick, and hassle-free. The location was perfect, close to downtown and many attractions, although parking could be a challenge. The dining experience was good but slightly overpriced for kids. The facilities were great overall.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were immaculate and spacious, beautifully decorated with good views. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Noëlla who made my birthday experience extra special. The location was perfect, just a couple of blocks from Parliament Hill and within walking distance to various attractions. The dining experience was average, prompting me to explore other options in the area. Overall, a great value for money with fantastic amenities and facilities.
