The property was fine. I know it's probably hard to retrofit, but pool and hot tub would be nice.

Overall the property was good; however, the bed mattress in the bedroom was warped and the gym could have had more equipment options. Out of two treadmills, one was broken.

We had a wonderful stay at Sonder Rideau. The location was perfect; walking distance to a the main touristic attractions. 5min walk to a bus stop and the Parliament tram station. The room was clean, modern and very spacious. Would recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room was really spacious and great set up/amenities. Only con to property was that our room was not especially clean. We found a ping pong ball from the previous guest, the sheets on the pull out bed were dirty and the coffee pot hadn’t been cleaned. Not sure if it was a fluke with cleaning crew since the hotel itself is quite nice.

I liked that I could get supplies in the lobby of necessities as required. I liked using the gym. I liked how there was quite a bit to do within walking distance. Staff gave a good recommendation for under ground parking that was close to your building.

Room could have been cleaner. There were crumbs on the table, hair on the walls and shower was a bit dirtier than I would prefer. Room was good and location is great. Would appreciate parking options.
