Great value for money. Clean rooms, friendly staff. The pool was murky for the duration of our stay but otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Les Suites Hotel Ottawa
Quite nice apartment-style hotel. Room was very spacious, kitchen very well equipped. Cleaning could have been a bit better, but nothing terrible though. The hotel was under renovations so some floors had ongoing construction. Parking a bit expensive compared to other options in the area.

SOHO Residences Lisgar
My experience was terrible, it’s complicated to get in. And hard to get staff over the phone to help you out. And it’s a hotel mixed with residential place just terrible.
