Very impressed with this hotel - comfy, spacious room, balcony & great location
Pros:

I particularly liked the spacious room. I opted for the balcony, which was a nice choice. The breakfast was also good, with some different options. Great location, close to the Parliament and Rideau Canal; great options for morning runners like me 😊 The staff was friendly and kind.

Cons:

There was a bit of a noise from the street but it is hard to avoid if you stay in the city center. The balcony doors provided a reasonable isolation.

Pros:

Location to downtown

Cons:

Dated, small bathrooms (no walk in shower). Arranged room service but it didn't happen. Construction across the road was noisy up to midnight and we weren't given advanced warning about this.
