Reviews
Oana from Canada (8/10)
Breathtaking views of downtown Ottawa
Chang from Canada (6/10)
When we raised this issue with the hotel staff, the front desk agent was very kind and genuinely tried to assist us by looking for an alternative room. However, due to the high occupancy that day, she was unable to make any changes. We truly appreciate her effort.

Onsite breakfast (for a fee) was very good.
Mirosław from Poland (8/10)
The hotel is already a bit old, which is visible in the installations and equipment. But the rooms are clean, the price is OK for Ottawa. The advantage is free parking. The area is quiet, but the bridge located nearby was closed, maybe that's why. You can get to the city center on foot, but the hotel is located on the other side of the river, so it's a distance of over 1 km.
Alasdair from United Kingdom (7/10)
Prompt at resolving issue with air conditioning on arrival. Breakfast was good.
Melanie from United Kingdom (7/10)
Close to lots of local attractions – Canadian museum just across the street- excellent museum!!! National gallery and market area and parliament just across the bridge – easy walking to everything
Ashleigh from Canada (6/10)
Staff was very pleasant, hotel was clean but outdated carpets in the hotels rooms and the bathrooms need upgrading. Booked thinking there was a hot tub in the pool room but there was not upon arrival. There was not enough parking.
