Staff was very helpful, the hotel was amazing. They excellently cleaned the room daily, we stayed 5 days. Minor construction on the front canopy had no effect on noise or hotel access. Overall one of the best places I have stayed. The building itself was very cool. Location is great.

Easy check-in with very helpful staff both outside (to help unload the car and put on carts) and inside at the desk to check in and give tips on local events and attractions. Room was clean and perfect for our family. Pool was nice for the kids. Very convienient location close to the War Memorial and Parliament. Short walk to many other museums and attractions so after parking we were able to walk everywhere. Will definitely stay again when in Ottawa

Property is gorgeous, staff are helpful, Forty One restaurant was great. Room was ok but not any nicer than any other less expensive hotel we stayed at during our vacation to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. We paid $300-ish per night and it was fine. Hotel itself made up for the room.
