Hotel is clean , rooms are renovated , services are all good two things I didn’t like , first the wooden cutlery at the breakfast buffet, please find another solution for that , and the fact that there’s a huge homeless encampment across the street is definitely not good for the hotel.

Nice hotel. No parking left when checking in. Told to park a few blocks away but was in a very unlit & rundown looking area. Hotel is directly across the road from a shelter for the homeless.

Liked that it was new and clean. Liked the bench for suitcases. Breakfast was great. Staff was attentive and quick when I asked for an extra bed sheet and towels. There should be separate switches for bathroom overhead light and mirror light. You do not need both on at the same time. Really enjoyed our 2 night stay.

Clarification
I drove 4 hours after booking online to be told I can’t get my room due to being 18. After informing me, I asked questions to which the worker seemed annoyed and started giving attitude. This was a waste of time as I had to drive 4 hours back. They should let you know in advance of booking that you have to be 19+, other holiday inns allow 18+.

Overall, it was an excellent experience: Room - our room was very spacious and clean. We always look forward to sunsets as we can see the spires of the Basilica of Notre Dame from our window. Fitness Room - our room was two doors down the fitness room, so it was so convenient using the facility every morning/night. Equipment and room were very clean. Sanitizers and towels are conveniently available. Dining Area - we stayed 4 nights at the hotel and we always look forward to the breakfast which is included in our hotel rate. We love how the eggs are cooked, not dry and moist (yes, we are that particular with our breakfast because it dictates the day). Everything is fresh -- coffee, juice, bread/pastries. Special shoutout to the kitchen crew (Marie, Jacky and Beth) - the food is always great and full. Those ladies are always cheerful and helpful. Mornings are packed with guests, but tables are always cleaned up promptly for incoming guests. They are also extra helpful when we needed some pain relievers, and the front desk were not able to provide. Housekeeping - they were so helpful. They provided some extra towels when we requested some. Special shoutout to Geronima. We will be staying in this hotel if we are to come and visit Ottawa again. We will definitely recommend to our friends.
