I have never seen such RUDE, DISRESPECTABLE STAFF in my life. When I was in the room, a worker came into the room. I sai
Pros:

I have never seen such RUDE, DISRESPECTABLE STAFF in my life. When I was in the room, a worker came into the room. I said, "What are you doing?" and he responded rudely, "I thought you left." I called the manager, he said, "Sorry," and then 30 minutes later, he came back again. I felt very unwell and unsafe. I paid over $500 and received terrible service. I will not recommend your stupid hotel to anyone, where they don't respect people.

Excellent.
Pros:

Luxurious pillows! Clean and comfy bed; clean bathroom; huge room with good lighting and enough outlets to charge phones and tech - easy check-in at front desk - staff friendly and helpful and available - no wait times at check-in or at check-out; spacious lobby with room for small gatherings or ability to do paperwork together if needed - nice cooler of pineapple infused water available in the lobby. Well done!

Cons:

couldn't find a place to fill up my water bottle. I didn't ask, I just used the tap in the bathroom. Minor details.

Très déçu de Booking et du Holiday Inn.
Pros:

Très bon déjeuners.

Cons:

Nous étions à Ottawa pour un long week-end avec nos petits-fils. Nous avions choisi ce Holiday Inn pour sa localisation et pour sa piscine intérieure. Arrivé sur place on nous a dit que la piscine était hors service....
Jamais sur Booking la fermeture de la piscine n'était mentionné, nous n'avons reçu aucun email à cet effet non plus. Très décevant.
