Great Spot to Visit Canada's Gorgeous Capital
"Excellent spot for a visit to Canada's capital. The room was a bit small but other than that, I still give it 5 stars. The people were friendly and helpful. Very professional. It's also walking distances to Parliament Hill and to Ottawa's subway. Subway system was fun!"
