The Good
Guests were impressed with this stylish hotel.
Rooms were large, spotless, and featured modern design and comfy beds. Guests liked having free snacks and drinks in the room and stunning river/city views.
The location was an easy walk to the restaurants of Byward Market, near transit and walking distance to Rideau Canal, museums, attractions and shopping.
Staff were super friendly, professional and eager to please.
Guests (and locals) enjoyed the rooftop patio for its views, ambiance and an afternoon or late night drink.
Dining on site was often impressive to guests.
Valets did an excellent job. They retrieved the car quickly, cleaned snow off the car and had the heater on.
Guests also liked: the welcome beverage and walk in closets in the rooms where guests could put their outerwear and luggage out of sight.

The Bad
Some guests offered suggestions for improvement.
Recent room complaints were: bed had duvet but no top sheet, water pressure was hit and miss, and room was small for a family of 4, not much storage for clothes and room was very cold. Housekeeping forgot to replenish the mini-bar and toiletries in the bathroom at times.
On occasion, guests complained that their reservations were not honoured, despite having made them in advance.
Some guests found slow service from dining room staff and poorly executed room service.
Noise affected guests on occasion. They cited pedestrian traffic late at night, snow ploughs at 5 am, music from the DJ on site, and housekeeping staff vacuuming the hallway before 9 am.
Other comments found were: dining on site was pricey and drafty in the winter, elevators can be a little slow during busy times and no hot tub or indoor pool.
