Nice location and rooms were very comfortable
Ankit, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Feels more like a 2-star than a 4-star hotel as another person wrote. Coffee machine not properly working, hairs in the shower, empty shower dispensers, opened water bottle in the fridge and daily cleaning is done between 4:30-6 PM. One upside is the hotel being in walking distance to most stuff in Ottawa
