Lord Elgin Hotel
The room was perfect!!! The pool is great! But we were welcomed only in English (we are French Canadian) and it’s Ottawa, the capital of Canada . This city is supposed to be bilingual and this is a high quality hôtel, we expect bilingual staff at the réception. Not Even a « Bonjour ».
