9.4/10 Exceptional! (285 reviews)

5 star review! This property has it all! Great location (Little Italy!), close to the Tulip Festival, and a bike path right outside the back door. The suite was fully equipped, clean, tastefully decorated (monochromatic), bright, spacious. Underground, controlled entry parking. Great front desk staff- very accommodating. Only two complaints - the bed was very soft/unsupported - perhaps older than the rest of the furniture? - so much so that I felt there were two "body troughs" in the mattress. Slept much better on the couch. And then, what's with the US-themed throw pillow? (Stars and Stripes, Statue of Liberty, NYC). Ottawa is our nation's capital and IMO, any decor depicting nationalism should be Canadian, not American. (Or neutral, as all the other artwork was.) Just something to consider...
