Fine for a night but not great

Just OK at best. Can notice an odd smell throughout the building. Carpets didn't feel clean and were loose and walls were visibly dirty. A/C in the bedroom didn't work but they did come quickly to fix it. Pool area was very hot and humid, and no towels were available.

We had a fantastic stay. We took advantage of the discount program the hotel offered with the Mont Cascade water park. We ate breakfast at the restaurant-buffet in the hotel. Our kids loved the pool and we enjoyed being so close to the river. Overall we had a great stay!

We stayed here for the fireworks competition at the Museum of Civilization. We were easily able to walk across the road to the park and watch from theee. Parking is HORRIBLE. Use the parking entrances at the front only, if turning in from the side street you will bottom out and scrape the underside of your car, even saw a truck have a hard time with it. Limited parking in front and tiny parking on side street, I'd suggest just paying for parking at the NCC lot across the road. Would not say it's wheelchair, walker, stroller or wagon friendly. Elevators are tiny and slllllowwww. Pool directions are so roundabout as well. You get off on pool floor, go up stairs, down an unfinished hallway, down stairs, and finally arrive when you can just go to the lobby and walk in the side door. Pool was warm and room was 28 degrees, area to change and shower was clean but VERY limited towels. Room was clean and madeup no complaints and beds were comfy. Large bathrooms and entire hotel smelled clean. Would stay again but park else where and rearrange how we traveled with wagon n stroller.

Had issues checking in, arrived early, not anyones fault, but when checking in around 12:30 pm was told room would be done very soon and left my phone number for someone to call. We went out to have a nice lunch and came back over an hour later and asked about the room, was told it wasnt ready yet but should be ready soon, this was around 2pm, Then we had to wait until 5 mins to 4 for our room to be ready while multiple other people were able to check in before us. I have no issues waiting til 4pm but i believe we should have been told early so we dont have to wait for a room that wasnt going to be ready for another 2 hours. Otherwise had a lovely time, the room was good, the pool was nice, just issues in the beginning.

Location is great. Staff was very welcoming, positive, and responsive. Room we got was beautiful and perfect for us with a large sliding door window, nice balcony with a view of the city and a beautiful bathroom. Really enjoyed our stay. Had an issue when we first arrived but staff moved quickly to resolve and everything went really well after that. We didnt get a chance to try the breakfast, but were able to get in the pool. Would be nice to make sure towels are available at the pool area when needed.

There’s almost no traffic next to the hotel, no confusion about where to park. Easy access. Rooms were ok. Only the view was not what we expected. Still a very good place to be. Next to the Alexandra bridge, which takes to everything Ottawa. Gatineau was surprisingly nice to rediscover. Lots of art on the street. Lots of restaurants close to the museum
