Travelodge Ottawa Downtown Doral  

Das Hotel ist alt und eher verlottert aber grundsätzkich sauber.Es entspricht nicht ganz dem üblichen Travelodge-Standard. Die Lage ist ausgezeichnet,weil man zu Fuss in wenigen Minuten im Zentrum ist.

Kleines Zimmer und sehr kleines Bad.Kein Aufzug ins Obergeschoss.

Very close to the most important visiting points in Ottawa.

In general the hotel is not well clean, parking lot is too small, breakfast room incredible dirty, the guy who "replenish" cofee, bread etc at the breakfast room wears an unbelievable dirty, roting and old clothing (the same all the three days we stood there).

Good location and friendly staff

Location was good and staff were very friendly.

Bathroom was in bad condition and curtains were dirty. No elevator so had to walk up and down stairs (rather steep).

The location was excellent, close to major museums and walking distance to Byeward Markets and the restaurant precinct. A very good pub (The Black Bear) nearby with inexpensive good meals. The rooms were clean and neat, with great showers, and a good continental breakfast buffet in a relaxed dining room made for a pleasant stay. Free parking and free wi- fi were big selling features.

The building is a little old, and or room had a decided slope to the floor, that meant that you slept head down. As I suffer from acidosis I had to sleep with my feet at the headboard to stop the acid running down to my throat, the slope is that noticeable. But that would not be an issue for most people.

Everyone was very helpful.

Converted from an old home this hotel is charming. They serve an adequate breakfast from 7 to 10 am plus coffee tea or hot chocolate throughout the day. It is an easy enough walk to the parliament buildings, the superior court, and many other government agencies as well as to China town. Travel to and from the airport is an easy and convenient 30 minute bus ride (#97) without any need to switch busses and the stops just a couple of minutes from the hotel entrance. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definately return.

Some might find it a bit strange to be asked to leave the room while it is being cleaned, this being more of a cultural thing pertaining to some of the house cleaning staff than a hotel policy. This was not a negative for me but an excuse to have a hot beverage in the lobby and stretch my legs. They are long time staff and are to be trusted.

Very comfortable bed, clean room,, ample continental breakfast, friendly, helpful staff.

Older hotel could use plumbing updates.

First of all this hotel is not a travellodge it's an independent hotel (Doral Inn) in accordance with travelodge. When we checked in we discovered that room was in the third floor and there were no elevators. As soon as we got in the room we found out that there were rotten fruits in the refrigerator and that there was no heating, just a noisy malfunctioning air-conditioning, we felt cold during the night. Also there was no soap. They offer Wi-Fi but is not great, there were Two computers available for use but they had to Linux and who can use Linux? They were also very slow. The location of the hotel is not bad but not very good Either. The breakfast is good, and they have complimentary coffee all day. When we check it out a lady asked us if we had all of those bags in the third floor, we said we did and she asked why didn't anybody offered us a room when the first floor, I said I didn't know. They offer prizes if your do a review in tripadvisor, which I don't think is very nice.

No elevators, three floors of rooms. No heating! In Ottawa sometimes os -40ºc and there is no heating in the room! Found rooting food in the refrigerator.

Good value for the price. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Similar with the free breakfast -- plain but reasonable choice and good quality. All the staff we encountered were excellent; friendly and helpful. l

Could use a refresh, especially the bathroom, where there were chips in the tub finish -- but then, the price would probably rise.

1. Wifi did not work. 2. Parking was not good. 3. No one informed me about breakfast timings. 4. Was forced to hand over car keys to lobby as parking was very limited.

Location ... close to offices and to shops

The duvet smells stale. They should change new beddings 'cos the ones they ve are too old!
