Top floor room as requested displayed a catching bird’s eye view of East side of Ottawa. Strategically located within short walks to Byward Market, Parliament Hill, Sparks Street and CF Rideau. Cool that the hotel offered basement parking though paid as it sheltered us from the cold windy winter days when in Ottawa. Breakfast was simple but better than other hotels. Would definitely consider staying there again during next visit.
