Place is great and perfect for meetings in Ottawa with La cocotte restaurant being one of the highlight as well. I would stay away from rooms at lower level facing the internal courtyard- too noisy at night. I requested a room change at 22:00 upon check-in which was done very kindly and swiftly. Overall a good option in Ottawa.

This property is casual chic. Informal. Expensive for what is on offer though. Air conditioning did not work the first night of my 3 night stay. It was remedied after phone calls the next day. The bathroom amenities were good and the King bed linens and pillows were pleasant. Fairly quiet although my room faced the street. Restaurant Cocotte device was slow but food was fine.

The hotel is beautiful and overall very clean. I did however notice a glass in my room that had a dirty ring that was stained onto the glass and only other issue was the terrible wifi and connectivity within the building and in my room. I could not even have a simple page load with wifi or using my phones hotspot.
