I would recommend the Lord Elgin for a short stay in Ottawa. It's a very comfortable, safe & clean hotel within reasonable walking distance of most of the city centre attractions. It is showing its age in a few areas, so it's not in the top league of hotels. But if you want and affordable and convenient hotel in central Ottawa, it is a very good choice.

Christmas shopping trip in the city.
Me and my grandson had a wonderful time at the hotel. He used the pool, hot tub and the sauna. We decide to stay in and have dinner at Forty One in the hotel. It was nice. Clean and friendly staff.

A Nice/comfy place to Stay.
Nice hotel. Very comfortable beds. Property is a little older and lacks some of the creature comforts of some of its newer counterparts. But overall, a very nice hotel.
