So,so..
Staffs are fairly kind. Parking lot is expensive. You can park your car on your own but hotel staff. You need to call them in advance to get your car. The parking lots 100 m away under city hall is only $2 over night and $1-$2 per hour but they said approximately $15 for single entry. The pool is stinky as per my son. The wash room has not lock, is it weird?

When we checked in we were told there would be a daily breakfast buffet, there was not. The gift shop was never open and the restaurant only offered room service for breakfast which was also different from what we were told when we checked in. The room was clean, staff friendly and location was good.

A historic old building right near the canal. One side overlooks a park and the canal. One side looks into office buildings, however. We were lucky in that we got a good unit looking out over the canal. We also luckily got one of the only units with a balcony. Though it's winter and snowy so we didn't use it.

The pool is nice and heated with a decent sized hot tub. The kids spent over an hour in the pool. The rooms are well insulated we did not hear our neighbors. You cannot beat this location.

I love this hotel. Well kept and festive for the season! Staff are all welcoming and friendly from front desk to valet to room service. True hospitality! Small issue with room service order (item missing) was quickly remedied with an apology and a smile. Easy walking for great food choices and shopping. The in room breakfast was yummy! This may be my new home away from home when I am in Ottawa!
