Pros:

Goede bedden en goed ontbijt, prima uitvalbasis voor Ottawa.

Cons:

Wij hadden kamer 300 aan het einde van de gang met tegenover ons de deur naar het hok van de housekeeping. Gedurende beide nachten werd deze deur meerdere malen gebruikt en hard weer dichtgeslagen, dit zorgt voor flink onderbroken nachten en is een ernstige domper op het comfort. Dat geld ook voor de airco die een enorme herrie maakt als je hem aanzet.
