Check in and out was easy and fast. Staff were great. The only tricky part was the parking that is in the neighbouring building and very tight to navigate.

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel, eas access to almost all historic amenities in Ottawa
Jangar, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good points: well situated, the staff was kind and helpful (particularly the man for the parking). The room was a good size, clean and well furnished. The bed is comfy. It was a fair price for the room in winter. Negative points: it took more than 10 min of letting the hot water flow before getting any warm water (in the shower and at the sink). The first night, we took a cold shower because of it. This isn’t normal for an hotel of this kind. The room isn’t soundproof and people in the corridor woke us up several times. The lights in the room are too bright and not cozy. Be also aware that the clearance for the parking is 5”9 and that you have to walk outside and down a slope to get there. I’m not sure if it’s wheelchair accessible.
