Classic Ottawa hotel - centrally located - looks a bit dated (please replace the carpets ... they are worn out) . Try the drip coffee in the Cafe Laurier - it's excellent. Security staff should turn off their radios when they are walking down room hallways - especially at 8 in the morning.

While all the staff were pleasant, helpful and dignified, the rooms of this elegant hotel left much to be desired. There is no humidifcation is the rooms. I woke in the morning feelng dried out, and when I blew my nose, it was bloody. Far from ideal in a cold climate. The biggest complaint is that the sheets and comforter are all synthetic, so I felt hot and roasted all night in my all-cotton pajamas, leaving me feeling not well rested in the morning. Synthetic sheets are less expensive than all cotton, and require less care after washing. Evidently, that was more important than the comfort of their guests. The pillows are also too thick for good neck support.
