8.6/10 Excellent! (1,735 reviews)
Very disappointed, the restaurant was close that night, no bar no lounge. We were tired and wanted to eat at the hotel. And on top of it we had a room with a very noisy HVAC system. Was not a relaxing stay

I'll definitely be back when I'm in Ottawa. Good size for a one bedroom. Location made it easy to walk and see all the sites. Slept very comfortably. Beautiful view of the city from the bedroom to the living/dining room. Helpful staff, very pleasant.!
