Bon séjour
Pros:

Hôtel plein de charme, avec une décoration soignée et originale que j’ai beaucoup appréciée. Il est idéalement situé en plein centre-ville, ce qui permet de tout faire à pied. Les chambres sont bien équipées et disposent d’une terrasse agréable. Le petit-déjeuner est correct. Dans l’ensemble, un très bon séjour dans un établissement

Cons:

Un parking souterrain est disponible, mais il faut prévoir un supplément de 15 dollars par jour.

Cozy stay in Ottawa
Pros:

Location is perfect. Very close to the market, bit in a quiet street. Breakfast is excellent. Rooms are simple but with a very good size and a lovely balcony. The eating area is open all day, which is convenient to have a meal, do some work or socialize.

Cons:

Mattress was a bit soggy. The room was not spot clean. We found some footprints on the floor, and some hair in the bathroom. Nothing major.
