The hotel had a leak which was not their fault but as a result the lifts were out of action with one remaining out of action for the entire stay. The hotel were using dehumidifiers the whole trip which were noisy and given the rooms look out over the lobby, you could not escape the noise. No discount or apology was offered and we found the staff to be rude and unhelpful. We loved Ottawa and found those outside the hotel much more helpful!

Everything about this stay was on point. Staff were amazing, friendly and proficient. Room had been very well remodelled, and finished with quality accents and detail. The only drawback is the parking by valet only - but this can be overcome easily by parking at the city hall underground lot a few blocks away. Very charming.

Great place to stay in downtown Ottawa

Beautiful lobby, friendly staff and great room. Bathroom was nice a clean with stylish fixtures. Valet parking was quick and easy for getting our vehicle sorted. Restaurant looked pretty nice, just stayed for a coffee and pastry, was a little slow but we weren't in a rush so wasn't too concerned. Would definitely stay again.
