The Metcalfe Hotel is a beautiful place to stay. I loved the welcoming lobby with natural light coming from the skylight and the wood book shelves adding to the ambiance. The menu at Cocotte was excellent. The restaurant and hotel staff were all friendly and professional. My room was comfortable, clean and well equipped. I look forward to returning to this downtown Ottawa gem of a hotel.
