Hotel is great, surrounding area is not.
The hotel itself is great. The only downfall is the area. Although it is very close to the Byward Market, and downtown Ottawa, the surrounding area is run down and I felt unsafe walking from the hotel to the Byward Market.

The front desk staff were fantastic, our hockey team was delayed and the staff made sure the girls didn’t miss breakfast and gave them a late check out.
