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.

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.
