Amazing! So clean, staff was courteous and friendly. We felt so welcomed and "at home" on our visit. The layout of our room was perfect, with full kitchen complete with basic essentials for cookware-so nice! The only somewhat negative thing was the cramped parking garage but it was manageable! No complaints whatsoever!

The hotel is a bit expensive, but the extra price more than makes up for its fantastic location. Most downtown attractions are walking distance. The breakfast provided is sumptuous, even for vegetarians. Our room had a small kitchen, which was very useful.

Spacious rooms, comfortable bed and with all the necessary equipment in the kitchen. There were refurbishments when I was there, which detracted a little. However, convenient and pleasant. A decent breakfast is included, which is always helpful.

My wife and I stayed here May 31-June 4, 2013. We very much enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, spacious and quiet. Travelers should be aware of a couple of things: 1) We arrived late at night to find that the entrance to the building was inaccessible due to construction. Signage was poor so we had to drive around... More

I stayed here for four nights with my wife and young children while visiting Ottawa for Race Weekend. I was extremely satisfied with my stay and couldn't imagine staying anywhere else next time I visit Ottawa. First off, the room is the size of a small European country. When you have a 3 year old and a 1 year old... More

Arriving from Vancouver for a four day conference in downtown Ottawa. I, for some strange reason, thought I had booked the Residence Inn which is about 5 minutes from the Convention Centre. Unfortunately, I had booked the Courtyard Marriott which is a 20 minute taxi drive drive from the convention centre (Yikes).... The unbelievably efficient Megan at reception at the... More

This hotel is very modern and clean. Check-in was quick and the reception staff very informative about what there is to do in Ottawa. The underground parking is easy accessible and plenty of parking available. The rooms are very spacious; it's nice to have a seperate shower and tub. Room service was prompt and curtious.

We stayed here over the long weekend. This is my second time at the hotel, the first time was a few years ago. This time, we were staying in the corner suite on the government rate and it was nice and spacious. Pros: - Location - Excellent, within walking distance of everything. - Free breakfast - Decent selection of hot... More

We stayed for a night, nice clean for the buck you pay. Location was important for us this was minutes away from Parliment Hill. Also this hotel had the highest no of comments which gives a clear picture as what you can expect - no suprises. Compared to other hotels the cost vs benefit was more, only thing to remember... More

I stayed here for 4 nights while on business. Most importantly, the room was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly. So overall pretty decent. We were told the hotel was newly renovated but that was only partly true. The walls were newly painted and the lobby loooked new, but the bathroom clearly wasn't, the doors... More
