ANDAZ OTTAWA BYWARD MARKET, BY HYATT

10/10 Excellent

"Staff"

DoubleTree by Hilton Ottawa Downtown

8/10 Good

"Everything was really great. Complaints are the pool was constantly full of kids and difficult to enjoy but I have kids and totally understand so it's not a deal breaker for me. Room was well maintained except there was garbage and gum hiden in the top of the couch and missed by housekeeping. Other than that everything was fantastic. Room was clean, and maintained will we were out. The food was great, drinks were great. Seating outside was nice. Staff were extremely nice and helpful. In all I would recommend Double tree to friends and family."

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

8/10 Good

"You cannot beat the location of this hotel if you plan to walk to all of the downtown attractions! It was convenient for us to have a kitchen so we could save a little money on food and cook for ourselves (great Farm Boy grocery store only a couple of blocks away). The rooms are outdated, but clean."
