The location was convenient. There are plenty of restaurants and attractions within walking distance. The room was adequate. The bed was comfortable with two types of pillow options--soft and firm. The body wash and shampoo were suspiciously similar...but smelled nice. My only complaint is that the hallway, stairwells, elevators, and especially the front entry area smelled off--like a mix of mold and maybe natural gas...I'm not quite sure how else to describe it.

The staff were lovely & the hotel was in a great area but unfortunately we ran into a lot problems during the stay. We didn’t get hot water for 15 mins trying to shower, we could hear everything happening outside the room & beside us which made it difficult for sleep, our room also had a bad carpet job with noticeable missing pieces by the walls. Our wifi throughout our stay also did not work In regards to parking , staff was very helpful with finding it but definitely a tight squeeze. Although the staff were positive we wouldn’t stay again due to the little things building up

Overall not a bad hotel - but wouldn’t stay again. Pros : -Relatively close walking distance to most tourist attractions and restaurants. -Updated rooms Cons : -If you like ice showers this is the place for you! After roughly 15-20 minutes of running the water fully on the hottest setting possible, we got just enough to call it warm bath water on the 4 attempts to get hot water. -Parking = not located directly under the hotel, down a VERY tight alleyway and below another building. We have a 2024 Outlander and it’s not much of a height difference to a CRV or RAV4, and we just barely made it into the parking garage after being told we’d fit no problem. My S/O had to get out and watch every turn we made in the tight garage. $25 PER day charge too! -Towels are also sandpaper. If you want a cheap(ish) hotel in downtown Ottawa and don’t have to park an suv, enjoy cold showers, this might be the spot for you!

The hotel itself was clean, and I had a great overall experience. However, the restaurant/lounge left much to be desired. After a flight, I stopped in for lunch and noticed only one other customer there. He mentioned he hadn’t seen the bartender in a while. I ended up waiting about 15 minutes before anyone came by to check on him or acknowledge me. When I finally ordered, the food was overpriced and mediocre, and the service was disappointing.
