The hotel is great, the only problem we see is that you can hear everything from room to room. We had to call front desk at midnight so our noisy neighbor would stop talking so loud. Smoked salmon bagel is not smoked but cooked salmon.

Really nice place, friendly staff, convenient location… the only 2 things that stopped me from giving a 5 star were: valet parking wait time, and the pool (water condition, and seating area). But that’s just me being picky. Honestly i would go again.

The staff here were incredbly friendly and helpful, and it was really nice to have a café only a 3 minute walk from my room. The main issue that I had here was that the airflow isn’t great. I had to keep the window open as the steam from the washroom made the entire room feel damp, and we stayed here late winter. And unfortunately I noticed quite a bit of dust on the walls. Otherwise, everything was great :)

I liked the proximity to the Rideau Canal for skating, and the historical buildings a short walk away. The hotel itself is beautiful in an 1800s way. The dining hours are pretty inconvenient against the check-out times.

Hotel was grand, rooms a bit dated but very comfortable and clean. Valet parking was a disaster. Poor communication and left the car unlocked in an outdoor parking lot. Good hotel if you’re not using a car. If you are, steer clear

While this hotel is beautiful, there are some aesthetic areas that need touching up. Rooms are dated, but still beautiful and functional. Perfect for what we needed the hotels to be.

We have stayed at this hotel numerous times. It has been hit and miss. The building is magnificent and you can feel the history that this building holds. The service (especially personal and hygiene) had been the problem in the past with us. Bathroom was still not clean (to our likings so please take with a grain of salt) and the towel had funky smell to it... But the newly renovated restaurant and the bar area was nicely done! We enjoyed our meal at the restaurant and serving staff were very pleasant. Valet parking situation ...oouf...That needs a major improvement.
