  • Free internet access.
  • Parking a major problem and shouldn't have had to pay - making the overall price hefty.

“Hotel in great area for sightseeing and shopping and accessing the 417 highway.”

  • The matress of the bed was cheap and not comfortable.

“The rest was ok. They make some renovation but they forget to switch the matress.”

  • Clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Central location - market, restaurants, attractions. Pool.
  • Parking was difficult to get.

“For such a basic 3.5*-4* hotel, I can't think of any problem areas. Good pool/spa. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Amenities were basic but what there is looks clean and stylish. Excellent location 5 mins walk to markets, restaurants and attractions. Basic hotel quality done very well.”

  • The staff was very friendly. The hotel was well decorated and very clean. There was beautiful flowers outside.

“We were traveling with our two daughters (2 and 6). We found this hotel very beautiful, comfortable and recommended it. This stylish hotel has everything for the business travelers and the families feel very welcome too ! Our daughters even received a stuffed animal at our arrival. We also had fun in the pool.”

  • Modern design in hotel rooms, efficient use of small space.
  • Hot tub was luke-warm. Sound proofing between rooms could be better.

“Great location only a few blocks from parliament hill, Rideau canal and Byward district (restaurants/shops). Small hotel rooms with a modern design and efficient use of limited space. Very attractive courtyard on the fifth floor, great to sit down and have a drink at. Restaurant has an affordable and high quality breakfast buffet. Staff was knowledgeable, polite, friendly. Highly recommended for someone who wants to see the sights in Ottawa but does not have a vehicle.”

“Good hotel, excellent location, small rooms and illumination is nice but not enough, the hotel didn't work at the time we were there and it was a pain going thru the stairs (staff elevator was packed).”

Cleanliness:[9] • Staff:[2] • Location:[9]

  • The rooms were large and modern at a great price.
  • The hotel staff were not knowledgeable and had no customer service orientation.

“The location of the hotel is ideal being within walking distance to all major Ottawa attractions. The room we stayed in was large with both a bedroom and sitting area. I particularly appreciate the modern-contemporary decor; something I would not normally expect from a family hotel. I was very disappointed with the level of service we received from the hotel staff. They were not knowledgeable of such basics as how to access the parking garage attached to the hotel from the hotel. We requested a wake up call but did not receive one. Upon conferring this to the desk clerk upon checkout the response received was "Oh. That's not good." I would have expected some kind of apology.”
