Une nuit à Ottawa, c’est parfait
Pros:

Dans la chambre il ne manque absolument rien ! Cela va de la machine à café au réveil en passant par la veilleuse dans la salle de bains et une musique d’ambiance à choisir pour vous endormir !

Cons:

La disposition des ascenseurs est extrêmement t compliquée, il y a de quoi se perdre plus d’une x. Tous ne vont pas à la réception et d’autres s’arrêtent au 3eme étage, rdv du petit déjeuner qu’il faut trouver à l’odeur du pain grillé
La salle du petit déjeuner est sombre et triste, je n’avais jamais vu ce concept de service auparavant …

Kotimainen majoitus.
Pros:

Tarjolla oli ilmainen pyykinpesumahdollisuus. Pidimme myös aamiaistarjoilusta, jossa oli tarjolla hyvät perustuotteet. Huone oli tilava kaksio omalla keittiöllä.

Cons:

Wifi oli heikko huoneistossa.

Pros:

Struttura in zona centrale, personale alla reception molto accogliente e professionale. Il nostro appartamento,pulitissimo non mancava di nulla, lo stile è tipico americano.

Cons:

Colazione con molta scelta , il modus operandi è tipicamente del posto , pochi posti a sedere , perché c'è la possibilità di portarsi la vivande in camera. Molto cibo a disposizione
