High quality, great location
Posted Jan 15, 2013
Pros: Staff, quiet, restaurant.
Location: Excellent
Everything about the Arc was superb. A small hotel feel in the centre of town. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

Arc. The Hotel
Posted Jan 3, 2013
Both times I asked for restaurant referrals, I was told there was nothing. I had to find my way on my own. Front desk was not helpful.

Is this houw you treat frequent guests?

Pros: Location is very convenient, price is good, overall good value
Cons: Windows don't open, but I knew that; lighting in bathrooms is not great, just badly placed as is the magnifying mirror...but I knew that in advance.
Location: Location is great--you can walk anywhere.
I've stayed at this hotel a lot but never booked it through Expedia before. I did this time mostly because of the price and the cancellation policy compared with the hotel's online offer. I always book the same size of room and anyway they are all small. This time, they obviously didn't know how often I stay there because I had a small, dark, dingy room on the second floor with a view of a brick wall and a parking lot. The hotel was no where near full. And the housekeeping staff came at 5:20pm to do the nightly turn down service...really!! 5:20pm!! I was trying to get ready to go to dinner..

Great Location
Posted Jan 21, 2013
Pros: location
Cons: room size
Location: Right down town. Close to shopping center, parliament buildings and places to eat.
Great location!!! Hotel staff where friendly and helpful. The only negative was that the Queen room was very small. Better to ask for a room with two double beds.

Comfortable with helpful staff
Posted Jan 21, 2013
Mattress was EXTREMELY comfortable - wish I had one at home. I was on business and did not feel well and the staff actually walked to the convenience store in the middle of the night to get me some Pepto Bismol! Cozy little restaurant on the premises. Only complaint was room was a bit small, faced a brick wall, and walls between rooms were a bit thin - lucky for me no one was noisy.

Location: Situated right in Downtown Ottawa so pretty close to everything.
The service was friendly. The hotel was very modern style. The rooms were a bit small but clean.

Arc Hotel ok but not great.
Posted Jan 8, 2013
Pros: The valet and front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable
Cons: Bathroom was small and no double sinks and lighting very poor. Carpet was in need of a clean.Lounge too noisy on sat night.
Location: In the business district so had to walk or take taxi to where the majority of the restaurants were.
The carpet in the room was in need of a good cleaning. On Sat. night the lounge was rocking and so much so that we could hear the music on the 5th floor. We ran out of kleenex and twice had to ask for an extra roll of toilet paper. They did not leave an extra roll in the room. Bed was comfortable. The washroom was very small and poorly lit. Only a single sink. We were in the business district and wish we had been closer to the market area where all the restaurants were.

Central location, adequate
Posted Jan 7, 2013
Pros: Bed was comfortable and easy to watch TV from. Nice toiletries. No noise from adjacent units.
Cons: My window faced a brick wall,
Location: Central. Very easy walk to all of the attractions.
I recently spent one night at this hotel. It was clean and comfortable. Central location. I did not make use of any faciities (gym, restaurant) so cannot comment. I did find the hotel to be somewhat dark and the decor a little bland. I also wondered about security since I dashed in & out, directly to the elevator, without any sort of screening.
