    great view
    limited breakfast selection

    The room upgrade provided a stunning view of the National War Memorial.

    The breakfast options were too limited and did not cater well to diverse tastes.

    unfriendly staff

    fantastic view, cleanliness of bathroom, handy pet policy

    Housekeeping tends to be unfriendly, and the bathroom doors are heavy and problematic!!! Room supplies were inadequate for the price paid. Valet service is frustrating and not reliable enough!!!

    excellent service

    A quick and honest take

    A fantastic place to celebrate anniversaries! The views of Parliament Hill from the 21st floor are breathtaking. The staff, especially Ana, went above and beyond to make our stay special, even surprising us with a bottle of wine. The room was impeccably clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

    welcoming staff
    fantastic breakfast
    small pool

    We loved the convenient location right next to the shopping center! The kids enjoyed our family-friendly room with a view, and the staff were so welcoming. Plus, the breakfast had a fantastic selection that kept everyone happy.

    In my kids’ opinion, a larger pool area would be great.

    Unexpected Challenges Yet Warm Staff

    The warm greetings from the staff made us feel welcomed right away. The hotel’s central location allowed us to explore nearby attractions easily, which was a highlight of our stay.

    However, check-in was chaotic and our room wasn't ready until after 3 PM. The room itself had some maintenance issues that detracted from our overall comfort.

    check-in process

    great stay but needs some attention to details

    The location is unbeatable, with so much to explore nearby. Our room on the 20th floor featured a stunning view of the city and a very comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was excellent, especially for someone who is mostly vegan—plenty of tasty options that filled us up completely!

    The only downside was that the check-in process could have been smoother.

    Decent Stay with Some Drawbacks

    The room provided a comfortable stay with decent bedding, though the furnishings felt a bit dated. Enjoyed the heated pool, perfect for relaxation, despite it being colder than expected. Close proximity to sights was a plus. Consider clarifying dining options before your visit.

    frustrating waits
    parking hassle

    The hotel features great staff and a fantastic location near major attractions, making it easy to explore. However, parking is a significant hassle, and the elevators often lead to frustrating waits. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but some aspects left much to be desired.

    Family with children looking for luxury

    The rooms were clean and huge, and the staff were incredibly accommodating! I was especially impressed when they rushed to get my room ready for an early check-in. I mean, I felt like a VIP!

    Sure, it wasn’t exactly budget-friendly, but for what you get, it’s acceptable.
