The room was modern and perfect for our quick stay. The food was also decent, but we were hoping for at least a protein like eggs or cheese in the breakfast selection. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we got a deal at an affordable price. We will surely recommend this place to our friends who wants a quick and accessible tour in Downtown, Ottawa.

Arlo had just reopened under Best Western when we stayed. We were in town for a funeral but we were also walking distance to Winterlude, the canal and any other amenity or activity we could want. We were upgraded to a beautiful suite at their suggestion, the gracious hotel manager even took our bags up to our room with us. Rooms are well appointed, stylish, clean. Huge games room in the basement that we didn’t use but checked out. Would definitely come back with our kids. Grab and go breakfast, staff always smiling, great music playing every time we came in and out. Cannot recommend enough. Just the upgrade the old Sonder needed. Thank you Arlo! We will be back.
