Hotel in a fantastic area near the Byward market and Rideau Centre. All walkable. A lot of construction in the area so driving is chaotic and not a big pull through to unload anything. Staff at front desk not exactly friendly. Parking was under renovations so was a hassle to find spots in area around hotel as the shopping mall is right there and spots full. When your daughter is hesitant to ask for a toothbrush from same person at front desk who checked us in, there may be a customer service issue developing. Otherwise a good place to stay if you are looking for somewhere close to the tourist spots.

Great location, staff and room. Coffee maker in room was so loud it wakes up the neighbors, and grabbing a 2 coffees downstairs was $9 after paying hundreds for the room, this is unacceptable. Albion restaurant is overpriced for average food

Hotel needs all staff to be on same page. One staff told me I could keep my cooler in the hotel walk in freezer overnight. I've done this 15 times in the past 15 years I've stayed at hotel. When I went to put it in desk clerk told me I can't put it in. Fine - but this needs to be the same across all staff so I can make alternate arrangements for the cooler.

The power was off in the hotel for maintenance from 10pm to 6am so we had no lights, wifi or elevator usage. They should have comped us for the night but instead gave us a breakfast voucher. Pretty underwhelming response to such a major inconvenience.

This is not a 4 star hotel. It is 3.5 aspiring to be 4. I would not stay here again. When booking through Expedia on June 3rd, there was no mention of the upcoming renovation on their parking garage. I expected to park at the hotel and have in-out privileges but had to use indoor parking at the mall next door with no in-out privileges. It took 20 minutes of wandering around the mall with my bags to find my way back to the hotel. I was upset when I arrived and made that very clear to the afternoon manager. She admitted to me that they had added the note about the parking situation to their website a week prior in response to other customer complaints. She offered free breakfast but I declined. She told me the day manager would contact me. This never happened. I was very clear that I would be leaving a negative review. What else was bad? How about a maid knocking on my door at 8:50am to clean? Or a TV too far away from the bed to be useful, lacking channels like NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Discovery that you find in a '4 star' hotel. Or the most uncomfortable couch ever? The good? The room was clean, well appointed (aside from the TV and couch) and was quiet. The location is excellent - steps to the Byward Market and numerous attractions. And the staff (aside from the manager who never contacted me) were helpful and friendly. I still wouldn't return. Failing to provide accurate info when booking and management not following up with me aren't forgivable.

No Parking but great location
The hotel is located at close proximity to the Parliament buidings, Byward Market and the Rideau Centre, but their parking is under renos until late fall so you have to park at the Rideau Centre which is $30/day. That is a lot. The room was clean, but the curtains had stains on them and the bathroom lock didn't work. The hotel staff were friendly and the cookies upon arrival were delicious. Overall, a good stay. The hotel was also quiet.
