If you are planning on visiting Ottawa or the Ottawa region, this hotel is a very fine alternative to the many choices in the downtown area. The rooms are very spacious, immaculately clean, comfortably carpeted, furnished in a aesthetically pleasing manner, and provide a nice view of the Gatineau riverfront. I chose a room with a single king bed and a sofa and especially appreciated the very long expanse of the desk and the cabinet, which stretched across much of the room’s wall area, providing me with ample space to lay out my things. The real draw of the hotel is its outstanding location — right across the street from the Canadian Museum of History (which, despite the very disappointing renovation of its formerly excellent Canada Hall, still remains Ottawa’s most interesting museum, especially when it hosts special exhibitions on a European theme). One can leave one’s jacket and belongings in one’s hotel room, cross the street and tour the museum at will — even return to the hotel and come back to the museum, if the need arises. Plus, the National Gallery and Parliament Hill are just a short (and enjoyable) walk away across the nearby Alexandra Bridge. And at night, the view of Parliament picturesquely illuminated across the river is one of the most memorable sights in the Ottawa area. Breakfast is as good as one would expect, with not only eggs and bacon on offer but also sauteed vegetables and potatoes. Parking is extra but always available: if the above-ground lot fills up, additional space is on offer in an underground garage on site. Better still, even after the 11:00 check-out time, one can still leave one’s car in the lot on check-out day at no additional cost till 17:00. All in all, I can avidly recommend this hotel for both shorter and longer stays.

FOUR NIGHT STAY/Aug 2023 . Staff were outstanding ..seriously..they were amazing ! Location was A+ , walking distance to bars and restaurants as well as Parliament Hill ,National War Museum and right across the street, The Canadian Museum of History. This hotel has direct access to the huge biking path/system in Gatineau/Ottawa. There is a storage room in the underground garage for your bike. Just ask at the front desk about accessing it. The hotel restaurant/bar L'Ardoise, has great food and was a relaxing way to have a drink before or after returning from your excursions. The breakfast buffet which opens at 7am, was a winner. Hotel was very clean and rooms were kept tidy .

The concierge we communicated with were very helpful and always with a smile. Check in and Check out were a breeze! Location is ideal for us as we were there for a competition across the street and Parking was a bonus as it is so close and convenient.

The hotel is across the street from the museum of Canadian history. Also in walking distance from many landmarks in Ottawa, we did not need a car for the duration of our stay, which was great. We had a large beautiful room with a nice view and in fact one night we were able to see the fireworks show on the Ottawa river from the window of our room 😀. Also steps from the hotel we discovered Rue Laval with a few wonderful little restaurants and patios, and art works everywhere. The hotel could be considered a bit noisy, you can hear doors closing in the hallways and showers running in other rooms. The hotel pool was good and clean. We tried the breakfast one morning and found the food ok but a bit expensive for what it offered, $85 after taxes and service for a family of 4. There are better options outside the hotel. Very prompt service from the hotel main desk, especially from Derek, thank you.

From the moment we entered the hotel, the staff was incredible. Helpful, kind and their energy makes you want to come back again. The wonderful lady who checked us in was beyond helpful and the lady who served me coffee in the morning was a pleasure to be around and her energy alone makes you want to come back! The best hotel I've stayed at in a long time.

This was my second stay here and will stay here again when in the Gatineau area. Clean accommodations and friendly staff. Walking distance to restaurants and cafes. Directly across the street from the museum.
