Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. My sister and I both felt the same way. I apologized to her because I was the one that booked it. We were afraid of bed bugs because of the condition of the bedding. We couldn’t wait to leave in the morning to drive to Quebec where we’re spend 5 nights in a fantastic hotel. I travel a lot within and outside Canada. Everyone says I am an easygoing person but, this hotel should be closed. I have booked many holidays with Expedia without a bad experience.

When i booked this room days ago i called to ensure i could pay at the property. My boyfriend would be putting it on his credit card. The morning of the reservation I recieved a voicemail stating that my card.has been declined and if I didnt pay by 130PM (2 hours before checkin) my reservation would be cancelled. So I called again explained the situation and i was advised that I was required to pay by credit card while on the call, and my boyfriend wasnt here yet so.after telling this again i finally gave upandn told them to cancel the booking. We ended up going to another hotel and having an amazing time.

Stay OK. Walking distance from Ottawa parliment. In our room, air conditioning directly on the bed (impossible to direct anywhere else). Breakfast included is kind of joke : small muffin / little juice in a box and a small yogourt in a paper bag !!
