i have stayed here multiple times as it is one of my favourite hotels to stay at when visiting ottawa. this time around we got a queen room which was the same price as the executive suite i had gotten last year. i felt out of all the rooms i stayed at this one was the smallest. you could also hear everything in the hallways, people slamming doors, there was no quiet. the room was very small, the toilets were very loud, the elevators are not well maintained. the valet seemed like chaos and was not as smooth as previous visits. overall it is a place to sleep when visiting, but i have noticed the decline with the hotel overall through the years.
