We were pleased with the spaciousness and cleanliness of our room. Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are provided and other items are available. The linens and towels are good quality. There is an in-room coffee machine, microwave, and fridge. Everything seems new. Show up early for breakfast - as in 7am! It gets extremely busy. The breakfast offers a great variety and includes a pancake-maker. Coffee & tea are available during the day.

The elevator is not sufficient for the size of this hotel! There were lots of times where we had to wait. We ended up taking the stairs. If a person has a disability or a medical emergency, this will be a problem. We also would have liked more housekeeping, since we were at the hotel for a week.

The breakfast is what we expected, as each of the IHG we have stayed in were very similar. The walk-in in shower was excellent and I did not get water over the floor, the glass door was well built and I felt safe instead of making the floor slippery. The window was a beautiful full glass wall with excellent blinds. I used the laundry which was new, easy to use and I bought the detergent from the hotel market, and staff were lovely and gave us change. The staff helped with maps, and how to get around as we were on foot and did not rent a car.

The TV remotes I each of the IHG, Edmonton, Burnaby and now Ottawa, were not helpful in finding information on the TV shows we wanted to find or watch, very difficult to navigate and become frustrating. The breakfast room was very busy and seem understaffed compared to the other IHG and so they could not wipe down the tables as they had in Burnaby which had been an excellent and clean example. The area was a little sad with the people living on the streets outside the ‘Good Shepard’, but when we discovered a different walking route toward Parlament Hill and the Chez Lucien Pub for meals, it was really good. Only 15 minutes walking into the centre of Ottawa.

I recently stayed at this hotel and wanted to share my experience. One of the standout aspects of my stay was the reception staff. They were incredibly nice, kind, and always ready to help. It was refreshing to see them greet guests with a smile and remain available for any requests. Their friendly and helpful demeanor made a positive impact on my overall experience. I also appreciated the efforts of the cleaning staff. They were equally friendly and always accessible whenever I needed assistance. Their attention to detail ensured that the hotel maintained a clean and comfortable environment throughout my stay. When it comes to breakfast, I found it to be good overall. However, I believe it could have been even better with the addition of espresso coffee. While the available options were satisfactory, having espresso coffee would have been a welcome addition for those who prefer a stronger cup of coffee in the morning.

There was nothing in particular that I disliked or found to be problematic.

All staff members I had meet were super friendly and professional, very helpful and courteous, room had an excellent layout , very clean and comfy. Just an FYI if you have a truck the underground parking is extremely difficult to maneuver your truck in ( low height extremely tight corners super small parking spots ) , the roof top patio is a great little place to hang and check out the sight lines

Parking underground , small spots super tight corners and no way to tell it's full until you get in the parking garage and then have to get all the way back out , some hotel guests took up two spots which made the other guests lose spots , not the hotels fault for inconsiderate guests .

The hotel itself was very nice. The staff was helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

Unfortunately, the hotel was not in a nice part of town. Many homeless people were on the streets in the neighbourhood, making my family feel uncomfortable during the day, especially in the evening. I was very surprised since our last stay in Ottawa around the same area before the pandemic was very nice. Hopefully, this is just a temporary situation since the hotel itself was quite nice.

I am a quite picky person, but I was totally impressed of how CLEAN the hotel was! i was there for 1 night only (for a Nexus interview) so didn’t paid too much attention when booking the place as I knew I will be there strictly for sleep after driving 600+km. But I was very impressed with the room! very big, extremely clean and pretty good location also - walking distance to city center. Strongly recommend!

Not applicable - however you might want to pay attention in the parking as the drive down/spots are a bit narrow.

Great amenities, especially the rooftop lounge area. Room was very large, good view, beds very comfortable. Staff at checkin were lovely and had great recommendations. Location was also amazing

Staff at checkout could have addressed the issue with the constant ringing in our room a little better. There was a high pitched, quiet, consistent ringing all night long. We weren’t looking for a discount, just for someone to check and see what the issue was.

clean like new rooms, many USB connections in the room. Kuerig coffee and tea, full breakfast. very well priced for proximity to Parliament Hill and Ottawa U.

unfortunately there is a shelter across a Main Street from the shelter. the clients of the shelter do not come near the hotel and I had no interaction with any of them. The security at the hotel is excellent and I will stay here again.

The room is nice and clean as well as the room service. Car parking is good but we have to pay 18 dollars for each day. The location is good.

Couldn't imagine they would sell the water for us (there was no dirking water bottle in the room). The breakfast was so poor and not nice at all. Consist of eggs and beans and cereals. Food was tasteless and no variety of meals. Juice's machine was out of order in second day.

Clean room with super comfy beds, pool down the hall, accommodation of my lower floor request. Friendly staff, and delicious breakfast with great options and lots of space to sit and eat. Walking distance from all of the Market amenities and easy to access by car from Quebec or 417.

Having to line up in the small queue area with car to check in and pay for parking before being able to access the parking garage. This also meant there was cars blocking us when we tried to leave the parking garage in the morning because of congestion in front of the hotel which is where the garage entrance and exit is located. The booking prior to arrival didn't mention extra fee for parking either, though it did disclose the additional $50 deposit that's added to the price of the room at check in.
