180 Maclaren Street, K2P 0L3 Ottawa, Canada –

Location is perfect. Rooms is large. Breakfast is good and plentiful

Martin, Canada

Room was nice and spacious with kitchen and living room area. The staff were all very polite (at check in, in the hallways, in the breakfast room and the cleaning staff in our room). They have prepared “breakfast-to-go” bags if you’re in a hurry, and breakfast sandwiches. ~10-15 mins walk to Rideau centre and Byward Market. Also close to many eateries/pubs. Underground indoor parking was nice to have in the winter.

Renovations Notice: From January 2nd until January 19th, 2019, from Monday to Saturday, we will be renovating the balconies of floors 4 - 12, resulting in noise only during the day from approximately from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Such noise will significantly affect our Signature and Studio and Economy Suites. Our Executive and Mini suites on floors 1 - 3 will experience reduced noise. As well, during this period, the balcony doors will only open 4 inches, to permit fresh air flow. To compensate for any inconvenience, we will offer a significant Renovation Discount during such period. We apologize and thank you for your understanding.

I travel a lot for business and I saw millions of hotels. This travel was on private side and I booked cheaper hotel. My decision was based on the comments of the other guests and I can confirm. Amazing room, everything brand new, I spent there 3 night, including New Year's Eve and I had a great time. Heated underground parking lot, delicious breakfast and great localization. I can't forget about very helpful hotel crew. Thank you guys for having me at your property!

Waking up to the sound of construction and banging. The cost of ~$100/night on a Wednesday night, and being woken up to what sounded light a jackhammer, I do not believe was justified. I think they could have made a more reasonable $70/night fee during this renovation process.
The bed was very comfy; breakfast was excellent; customer service was fantastic.

The parking lot is very tight and of course when the lines get snow covered people park haphazardly making it hard to get around. The pillows were a little on the hard side. Even though we are not smokers we missed the use of the balcony but they are undergoing some much needed repairs so we look forward to enjoying them next trip.
The rooms are great, very spacious and clean, comfortable furniture and the TV selection was good. In room facilities are good, We found great entertainment within a very short walk and anything else was easily reached by bus. We have stayed here several times and look forward to coming back again.
