I always visit this hotel when visiting ottawa for work but it’s been 2 weeks that they have not repaired the second elevator and it creates delays with the guests . Also the tv remote control couldn’t not turn on the tv so I had to use the button on the tv and the socket in the bathroom did not work. They need to check out maintenance of the rooms. Apart from That all good , Nice staff good breakfast and convenient indoor parking

The hotel was very nice and clean. Breakfast was one of the best we've had at a holiday in. Staff were friendly and helpful. A very convenient location to where we needed to be and was easy to find. I liked the parking garage, considering there was alot of shady people hanging around across the street at the church. Other than that our family enjoyed our stay very much.
