Terribl!If you renovating and let customers know.

After booking with you, they charged me $25 per day to park. Would have been nice to know in advance. They wanted $100 security deposit that was promised to be returned. When I checked out , they could not give it back , because they claim they had not take it. So why take my credit card and punch it so many times? Also at 9 am they began drilling on top floor, so could not sleep in as planned. Check out was 11am. When I told lady at check out about noise at 11 , “when she asked how was everything?” She denied it was true, even how we could both hear bangin and drilling on the first floor. She said, “oh that just began 5 minutes ago” So I’m a liar. When I left my hotel room, came out of elevator, I was met with constructive workers with masks , there was dust everywhere. Where was my mask? I had to walk through all the sandblasting holding my breath. Way to go!

I love that the room, the very simplest of rooms, had a nice set up with couch, kitchenette and classy bed. If felt like a mini home and that home was new and clean.

This hotel was perfect for our purposes. We enjoyed a lovely dinner in the Byward Market which was a very pleasant walk and distance. We were able to detour past the front of the parliament buildings on the way back. The only minor issue that I had was that the shower was not very warm when I used it at about 6am. (I had to be somewhere early that morning). My husband used the shower after 7:30am and it was fine. (Perhaps pipes close to outside wall? Ottawa is cold that early in the morning..). Thank you for a lovely stay. It will be our go-to hotel for any further trips to Ottawa. Your staff are lovely btw. Many thanks for their kindness.

It was good, the only part I don’t like and was disappointed at was the fact that, there was no Netflix, the look like it was from the 1990’s, I couldn’t use the tv as it wasn’t operational, was disappointed.
