Pros:

Situation géographique
Boissons chaudes à volonté h24

Cons:

Pas de piscine comme mentionné sur le site
Pas la même chambre que j'ai réservée
Pas le même prix: sur booking c 127$. A mon arrivée on m'a demandé 184$ et lors de check-in on m'a demandé 216$.
Après plusieurs explications et justifications pour en arriver à me rembourser et à garder le prix de 184$.
Mais franchement ça ne mérite pas ce prix .
Chauffage beug
Salle de bain glaciale
Produits de bain médiocres
Chambre très simple pour le prix de 200$
Sachant que j'ai réservé cet hôtel pour 1 seule raison qui est la piscine

Bien mais faut checker nos transactions…
Pros:

Propre. Tranquille. Belle vue sur Ottawa. Facile de se rendre à pieds à Ottawa et musée de l’histoire à Gatineau à pieds

Cons:

Ils ont pris une deuxième carte de crédit et repris un 2e paiement alors que déjà payé sur Booking.com avec paypal… donc processus à faire pour ne pas être double chargé. Entendu même histoire au téléphone lors de mon check-in

Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel.
Pros:

la situation géographique.

Cons:

la chambre pour 3 adultes trop petite.
les parties communes pas propres et vieillotte.
Le petit-déjeuner est vraiment indigne d'un hôtel.
Que des produits discounts, réchauffé...

Below average
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Even though it’s listed as a 4-star property, it is worse than some of 3-stars. The carpet outside the bathroom was wet, when called reception, we were informed they would send someone to look at it, however nobody really turned up. Staff at the check-in seemed indifferent.
