I will admit that my expectations were mediocre for this hotel, and they continually surprised me. Every single staff member I interacted with was so professional and genuinely helpful. You can tell there’s a strong management presence on the ground floor. Very customer service oriented. The hotel is refreshed and clean. It’s got a Starbucks in the lobby and the little restaurant they have there had a fantastic, like really really really fantastic buffet. I also had another meal there and it was also really actually good. And wasn’t outrageously expensive either. Parking was also easy and accommodating. I use the pool facility as well and it was incredibly clean. Same with the gym. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is coming through town.

Excellent customer service. We were stuck in Ottawa for an extra day due to an ice storm. I was so worried that we wouldn't be able to book the room for an additional day. We were so lucky and staff were super kind and accommodating. I love that CF Rideau Centre is connected to the hotel. We spent a great day shopping!

They were doing renovation in the morning during one of our stay, no warning, no nothing. It is unacceptable and inconsiderate on our last day. Staff is friendly, but the room is a little older than most modern hotel. But my trip got ruined as I didn't get a good sleep on the last day.

The room still has carpeting. Would much prefer laminate/ wood flooring. Items left behind from previous occupants. The bedding and mattress was not as luxurious as the Westin once had. They didn’t come to freshen the room until 4pm. At that point we declined.

The room was just fine, nothing overly impressive. I noticed lots of stray hairs around our room, and the sitting chairs were filthy. Toilet was also an issue as it wouldn't fully flush. Keep in mind this is a family-friendly hotel which means the pool is constantly occupied by children. If you are looking for a quiet experience enjoying the pool/hot tub, I would suggest you book something else.

As soon as you walk in you feel you are in an upscale hotel. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. The hotel is easy to navigate. We particularly loved, the pool, the hot tub, the sauna room. There is also inside access to the Rideau Mall. Our room had a beautiful view of Parliament which was a really great view as the sun was setting. We will be back for sure.

For the price. The room was very small and needed to be renovated. I stayed in this hotel previously 23 years ago and the room looked exactly the same. The parking was terrible, it took us over an hour to find parking in the parking garage.

Best location in the city. Great gym, nice looking pool (didn’t use it). Friendly staff. Best hotel bar/restaurant. Downside. No plugs near bed or really anywhere except at the desk and they were not tight so my cords were falling out. Bathroom plugs also loose.
