We went to Winterlude on Sat. Feb. 11/ 2012 and stayed at Lord Elgin Hotel. The hotel and staff were amazing, the room was spotless, and the location was perfect. But..... like everything it has minor problems that should we should mention, after all this IS a site to help our fellow travellers. The room itself was pretty small, and...

Just got back two days ago from Ottawa. Stayed here and would definitely stay again. The location is within walking distance to the Rideau Canal (I skated it twice!), Byward Market, the Parliament Buildings, etc. The room was spotless, as was the bathroom. I'm really fussy about things like that, and had no complaints. The beds are very comfortable and...

We go to Ottawa 2-3 times per year for a get-a-way. We always stay at the Lord Elgin! Why?
The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming.
The room is cozy and quiet - get one that faces Confederation Park.
The dining room staff are lovely. On our last visit we had an ill family member in hospital and we were...

The Lord Elgin is a nice for a good price. It has the look and style of the old style high end hotels but could use a bit of renovation in the lobby and common areas, it doesn't strictly need a renovation but it would probably make the hotel look very nice. The hotel staff were friendly, especially the front...

As we speak, we are wrapping up the installation of wireless internet throughout the hotel. This should be complete by this time next week. As well, we will be replacing all the cabling, so our bandwidth...

We stayed here last year for Winterlude. Our room overlooked the park with a spectacular view of the city. This hotel had everything we needed and more. Great location, great staff, great rooms, etc. We enjoyed talking to the guys working the valet. It seemed that most of them were hockey players. The hotel is also conveniently located close to...

Thank you for the great feedback. Ironic that we are just gearing up for another Winterlude. We love this time of year. There is so much energy around the hotel. The canal is in great shape and they have added some beautiful new change buidlings on the canal. The ice carvings are being worked now in time for the judging...

I've been to Ottawa a few times already for business and I found the hotels to vary in customer relations and room quality. The Lord Elgin is a great place to stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the on-site restaurant, Grill 41, is great. I don't particularily like Starbucks but there is one at the hotel.
The...

We greatly appreciate your feedback. You have certainly pointed out what we consider to be our strongpoints - location and service.
As you mentioned, we are an historic property and yes, have a variety of room configurations. Many are quite roomy and the higher ceilings make them feel even more so. We certainly are more than happy to accommodate a...

I stayed a week at the Lord Elgin for the third time since September. This time, I brought my husband with me to see Ottawa. He really liked the hotel, as I do, because the staff is just so wonderfully friendly. They really make you feel at home--I have never felt so comfortable in a hotel anywhere. I was there...

I have been to the Lord Elgin several times, on business as well as personal. Awesome location, outstanding staff, however at times it is a hit and miss with the quality of service, mind you that was a week end. The Lord Elgin is my hotel of choice for Ottawa, it is clean, warm and I look forward to my...

Stayed there for three nights on business. Very nice staff and lobby. The room was very small. Bathroom even smaller. So-called Queen size bed was like a rock. I visited my colleague's room and found that it was much nicer and roomier. Didn't bother to make a fuss as I was busy at work and didn't need the hastle. Very...

They also have higher ceilings than more traditional hotels, which give rooms a feeling of spaciousness. We are sorry that your room did not meet your...
