Superbe emplacement pour un séjour shopping et culturel
Pros:

L'emplacement est excellent pour une journée shopping et un souper dans le Byward market. Stationnement facilement accessible. Hôtel à distance de marche de plusieurs musées.

Cons:

Aucune surveillance à la piscine, impossible d'y passer un bon moment, car les règles de non sauts et autres n'étaient pas respectées.

Nice rooms,great location.
Pros:

Nice rooms in a great location. Close to Byward Market and Rideau Center. Lots of different restaurants in the area, easy walking. Staff was very helpful with requests and cab arrangements. Doubletree was an upgrade from the Novotel it used to be. Ottawa Transit changed their routes so there’s no good direct route from the airport anymore, but the cab was not expensive.
