This is a hotel where the common areas feel like a high end hotel, and the rooms feel like a mid-leve hotel. Lovely staff, great restaurant, sophisticated vibes in the lobby area, which is quite large and nice to hang out in. The rooms themselves still have a dated feel, despite some nice renovations and nice amenities/touches. Nespresso machine, water, robes and plentiful towels all were appreciated! I very much enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

I had a wonderful experience with the staff during my stay. When I accidentally left my wallet at the front desk after checking out, the staff quickly chased after me to return it. Their attentiveness and kindness truly stood out. Thank you for such outstanding customer service!

It was a beautiful hotel however check in wasn’t the greatest as information wasn’t clearly relayed and we had to wait hours to check in. No attempt to expedite was offered. Hotel restaurant wasn’t very accommodating to a lactose allergy

Great property. Close to everything. Staff is really nice and attentive. Beautiful place to stay and do some work from the lobby as well. My only issue was that the housekeeping cart was left all night beside my door. Little detail that should be taken care off. Other than that, my new to go hotel in Ottawa.
