Great location in downtown Ottawa. Walking distance to the National Art Centre, Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal and many other sites. Service was great and the room very comfortable. We overlooked the indoor courtyard and it was e trembly quiet. The restaurant is also very good but I recommend making reservations as it was very busy both for dinner and breakfast.
