Beautiful hotel, excellent location. We came here to celebrate my birthday and skate on the Rideau canal. The canal is only a 2 minute walk. Great restaurants nearby. We had a great stay.

Can't go wrong
We like the hotel and the proximity to the market. It's our preferred hotel to stay at when staying downtown Ottawa.

Good hotel, but basic. Don’t use valet
Pretty basic hotel, got the job done. Room was very small and the valet is basically a scam. You can park in the same lot the valet uses (66 Slater) for 10/n instead of valet at 40/n. When you can ask about prior they only tell you city hall as a alternative which is 20/n with no in and out so I found that pretty funny

So,so..
Staffs are fairly kind. Parking lot is expensive. You can park your car on your own but hotel staff. You need to call them in advance to get your car. The parking lots 100 m away under city hall is only $2 over night and $1-$2 per hour but they said approximately $15 for single entry. The pool is stinky as per my son. The wash room has not lock, is it weird?

We will definitely stay again
The pool is nice and heated with a decent sized hot tub. The kids spent over an hour in the pool.
The rooms are well insulated we did not hear our neighbors. You cannot beat this location.
