I stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton in downtown Ottawa on Tuesday, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. When I entered my room, I found it quite dirty — the bedsheets and pillowcases hadn’t been cleaned properly, and there was hair all over them. I even took pictures as proof. The staff were polite and welcoming, and they answered all my questions, which I really appreciated. However, the overall cleanliness of the room was not at all up to Hilton standards. Considering the high price I paid for the stay, I was also surprised that breakfast wasn’t included and I had to pay extra for it. Overall, friendly staff but very poor room cleanliness and not worth the price.
