Good enough but wont come back.
Dated hotel. Extremely loud AC unit in the room so i had to turn it off (imaging a loud motorcycle engine starting out of the blue next to your ear), windows don't open for fresh air so it got very stuffy. Bed very soft... too soft. Swimming pool was ok but could be better but getting there is ridiculous, also operated 9am-9pm only, you get kicked out after (other hotels keep those open till at least 10pm). Overpriced breakfast. The only good thing about this hotel was service, price and view.

Staff and services was good. Front desk was very helpful, lady even let me park my truck in her spot. I got a room on 3rd floor. Needs new paint ( entrance door) and washroom ceiling had water damage. Room was small but cozy. Walking distance from downtown

Beautiful view from our room. Quiet and comfortable. If parking is full out front, it can be frustrating to find their further parking lots and walk. Not a long walk, but at the end of a full day I can be furstrating.

Located close to major attractions. Property is old and needs repairs. Our door was tricky to close and cleaning staff did not close it securely on 2 occasions. This left us feeling our belongings were not safe. We emailed the manager with our concerns and the head of cleaning was sent to apologize. The manager did not even acknowledge our email. One of the amenities is a pool but it was down a grungy stairway and the changing areas were in poor condition and not very clean. Overall, the property had the feeling that no one cared too much. The breakfast was an added charge of $14, and for the price did not offer a great selection. Front staff were all great.

Called to fix issue with TV, they sent someone up to tell me the guy is finished for the night and will be back tomorrow. You could have said that on the phone. Air conditioning system made all sorts of racket throughout the night couldn’t turn it off. Hair dryer stopped working half way through. Waited 15 minutes turned back on then off again.

Very good customer service from front desk. She was very patient with my limited French. I tried to speak French even though I knew English can be spoken. Staff is completely bilingual. Comfortable room with a nice view of the city of Gatineau

We were not impressed with this hotel at all. We spent 6 nights there, and the room was not cleaned until the 5th day. And that was only because we complained 3 days in a row. When they finally did clean it, they provided fresh towels but didn't take the dirty ones away. Breakfast was not included in the price, and the buffet that they did have was $17/person with very little food choice. I will say that the front desk staff was friendly, and they did refund me the amount of one night's stay for the inconvenience of not having the room cleaned, but I still can't recommend staying there. Also, the only restaurants that we could find in the area for breakfast, besides the hotel, was McDs and Tim Hortons. All others didn't open until 10 or later.

Found a lot of women hair in my bathroom when I returned from walking in downtown Ottawa. I don’t know if the hair was inside the towels or some member of the staff came to my room. I was traveling alone and didn’t request room service for cleaning.

We had a lovely stay. The staff was very courteous. There was a bit of noise from other occupants the second night of our stay, but it settled by about 11:30 at night. We would happily stay there in the future.
