The hotel is located within a peaceful neighborhood with a magnificent view of the river and the city. The staff were pleasant and accommodating, but the rooms could use a more modern touch. Booking directly would have offered better value for money.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was a bit small and had noisy neighbors on both sides, but the staff was quick to help me change rooms when I had an issue with the TV. The service was great, especially during breakfast. The location was convenient for exploring the Capital Region, but the staff lacked enthusiasm. The dining experience was okay but lacked variety. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location and friendly staff, with clean and comfy rooms. However, the dining experience left more to be desired with limited breakfast options. The pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable, but the additional cost for certain views was a downside.

Location

The best part of the hotel was its location directly across the river from the Canadian Parliament Buildings, providing a perfect view. However, the distance to downtown may require transportation if you're on foot.

Dining

The dining experience was simple and lacked natural light, but the fish and chips were a decent option. The restaurant style lacked the charm I expected.

7.6/10

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with great views of the park and a convenient location just across the bridge to Ottawa. The room provided a lovely river view, although being below the 5th floor may not offer the best experience. Despite attending a rock festival in Montebello, QC, my room was cozy and well-situated.

Rooms

8.0

I loved the view of the park and river from my room, but being on a lower floor than 5th might not be as ideal. The room was perfect for my needs during the festival.

Service

Location

The hotel's location is ideal for nature lovers and culture enthusiasts, being close to the river and the Canadian Museum of History. While lacking nearby good restaurants, it offers easy access to major tourist attractions in Gatineau and Ottawa.

Dining

Dining options were not included in my stay, and additional fees applied. However, the presence of coffee machines running all day was a nice touch.

The hotel lacks balcony access but makes up for it with other amenities. The rooms were comfortable, and the location was great for exploring the surroundings.
