Business traveler, Traveled with partner
Liked: Amenities
I didn't appreciate how terrible the parking lot was. It was full of snow and slush and not clean whatsoever. I was at a big risk of slipping walking all the way from the parking lot to the front desk and the whole side walk was icy and dirty. One of the staff at the GOLD lounge was very rude to me. She was an older lady with medium length dark blondish hair who works in the morning/afternoon. I didn't appreciate her judging me and she spoke too fast and she insulted me as well. I can't remember her name. Other than that, the hotel itself is very beautiful and has a wonderful old heritage aesthetic to it. The pool was very nice as well. Thank you!

Winterlude
Fairmont Chateau is a really great hotel in the perfect spot for Winterlude. The rooms were quite spacious and clean. The lounge and breakfast was a great place for anytime that you want a snack/breakfast or just relax on your laptop, read a paper or watch tv or just read a book. Staff was super helpful and accommodating! Didn't try out the pool, but it looked great! If I return to Ottawa, I would stay here again.
