Rooms are super clean! While we were out the housekeeping staff laid out our kids personal blankets on their beds with their stuffed animals centred in the pillows. So cute!

This is a new hotel so I would expect it to be in excellent condition, which it was. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Had a room on the ground floor near the front desk, which was very convenient, but sometimes a little noisy, but it never interrupted our sleep. Beds were excellent. The one negative would be the Wi-Fi - although it’s free it requires registration to give all of your data, including your grandchildren’s eating habits (kidding, but almost).

Room was clean and spacious. It was all clean but the bath tub could have been cleaner.
I did not have a car but lots of parking spaces!
Breakfast was good!
Overall, great value! Location may seem far to downtown area but uber/lyft prices are pretty decent and reasonable in Ottawa so I’d say it’s worth it even though it’s not in downtown area.

Close to the airport. My reservation for two nights, however I arrived the next day at 1:15AM, no incentive still have to pay full price for two nights. I guess it's just pure business and it's fine. First floor room, access was blocked by so many supplies so unsafe for tripping. The middle of the day got the letter that the floor hallway to the front desk and fir breakfast i blocked for construction so we need to get out of the building and go around to get in back for breakfast if you want to. Don't have time for that. Besides when I looked at their breakfast area, it was small and packed. I think there's should be a warning before you make your reservation that there's a construction renovation going on and is next to your room. I could have choose another hotel the Hampton inn which is next property. Will never come back and will never trust Expedia. When it comes to booking within the USA and Canada expedia failed me twice 😔 no warning about construction, its same story. International reservation in Asian countries, Expedia did well.

The room was great and staff were really helpful. Too bad that I had to leave by 330 am, so I couldn't spend more time there. The shuttle from the airport can take a while, so it might be better to just take a cab, since it's only 2 min away

Hotel was in tip top shape. Room was large and clean as were the common areas. We had an early flight out of Ottawa so we didn't use the shuttle as it starts running at 5:00 AM and we needed to be at the airport before then. It's about a 6 minute drive to the Ottawa airport.

Clean, modern, spacious room. Very comfortable chaise lounge chair in room. Polite and helpful check in process despite being very busy with a hockey tournament. Some hallway noise with kids running and doors slamming due to hockey players but this did not interrupt our sleep.

The airport shuttle did not run before 6am which was too late for us. A taxi was booked. We were also not able to take advantage of the breakfast (which we knew). It would have been nice to have been offered free snacks in lieu.

The staff running the breakfast buffet and managing room cleans were lovely and hardworking - they are 5 star crews! Our room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. We had almost everything we needed...

The purpose of my family's travel was to attend a funeral - the day of the funeral there was no hot water for a shower until hours later (into the evening). When we originally discovered, on our own (no notification, which could have been emailed or otherwise) that there was no hot water, I went to the front desk and was was told that it would be available in 20 minutes or so, there was a hot water tank issue which just being completed... 20 minutes was not the case at all. It was hours later into the evening that hot water returned and it was too late then. It was also unappreciated that after travelling as a family with kids, coming in after midnight to check-in, that the staff member running the front desk wanted us to log in to our online banking to prove we had paid a deposit. We had no internet, had been travelling all day, and one child was experiencing a painful ear drum from the flight - we showed our booking receipt, but this was not considered satisfactory by staff! (We were eventually able to check-in and agreed to get it sorted upon checkout after showing we didn't have internet).

Rooms very clean and comfortable beds. Staff are friendly.breakfast is very minimal & little choices & you basically eat in the lobby where the chairs and sitting area are. To many kids running and screaming in the hallway at 11pm even after so many complaints to front desk staff did nothing. But overall good location & price from Expedia.
