“This property strikes me as a practical choice for those needing to be near downtown Ottawa, especially with its included breakfast and indoor pool. I noted some mentions of the surrounding area feeling a bit unsettled, but the hotel itself seems geared towards both families and business travelers, offering meeting space and family-friendly perks. It's a solid base for exploring the city's historical sites, assuming parking logistics are manageable.”
