Derek, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The bed was very comfortable. It was quiet hotel even though you are right in the center of Ottawa. It's a great location to be able to walk around enjoying the sites and great restaurants. Our hotel did have breakfast but it wasn't included in the room rental. It was good for a buffet style but nothing you can't get at a holiday inn express or similar hotel serving buffet style breakfast. All in all the hotel stay was a good experience.
