A modern style, yet cozy hotel located in the heart of Ottawa. Room including coffee maker, scales, umbrella, proper hairdryer, piped music, etc. Free wireless in the room. The hotel was very well located. Within a few minutes walk to Parliament. Also the other attractions are within walking distance. Read more
