Cataraqui Cemetery Tours

Recently spent a week-end in Ottawa for the tulip festival and we all stayed at Alt Hotel. We chose this property as we have had very good experiences at the Alt located in Montreal, and this location did not disappoint! The location was quite good as it was a close walk to Parliament, restaurants, etc... The hotel staff was excellent...very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The property was extremely clean and well-maintained and the lobby had many places to gather (tables, chairs, etc..). In fact, we purchased brunch from a local Scone Witch on Sunday and brought back the food which we enjoyed seated around a nice dining table. The hotel has a coffee bar and the coffee was quite good (expresso drinks, etc...). Our particular room had 2 queen beds, a spacious bathroom with a generous amount of clean towels, and was very spacious and quiet. Bed was also comfortable; although, the bed cover was quite hot and heavy (wish they had the option of a light blanket as it was warm outside). Next time, I will request a different blanket for sleeping. One of the other couples in our party had a smaller room, which has that odd glass wall between the bathroom and bedroom, which makes it difficult if one person is an early riser and wants to shower early while not waking their partner. The front desk informed us that they will hang a curtain of sorts to block the glass, if requested (good to know for next time). This is a good value for the price and we would return.

Staff were very helpful and property very suitable for my stay

I loved the Lord Elgin in all ways but one. The bed was very very hard and uncomfortable.
