Beautiful art deco hotel in perfect location.
I like this hotel very much, particularly at Christmas since it is located right near all the lights put up by the National Capital Commission. The staff is very nice, the art deco decor is lovely and is maintained to high standard. Price is just right as well. Reasonable city parking across the street. Lots of dining and going out options within walking distance but their own restaurant is also very good. Will stay again for sure

Christmas shopping trip in the city.
Me and my grandson had a wonderful time at the hotel. He used the pool, hot tub and the sauna. We decide to stay in and have dinner at Forty One in the hotel. It was nice. Clean and friendly staff.

A Nice/comfy place to Stay.
Nice hotel. Very comfortable beds. Property is a little older and lacks some of the creature comforts of some of its newer counterparts. But overall, a very nice hotel.

Beautiful Ottawa
The stay was perfect! The hotel is absolutely beautiful and the location was second to none. The pool and hot tub were the perfect end to a long day of travel. We would stay there again.

Squeaky bed
Beds are wrinkly and not properly made. Both beds makes so much noise with every movement. The worse bed I’ve had in my hotels stay. It was very uncomfortable sleep due to all squeaky noise it makes. I didn’t expect that a high end hotel would have such terrible beds.

Great downtown location!
The best part about this place is the location. It was within walking distance to a lot of great restaurants.
