Les Suites Hotel Ottawa

Les Suites Hotel Ottawa

10/10 Excellent

"Liked - GREAT location, walking distance to lots of activities, market, parliament buildings, restaurants and bars. Clean room, everything worked well, and staff was polite. Less liked - bathroom was tiny, not enough night tables next to beds, catch-pan under water heater was full the whole time, cooking supplies were scant (we were there 7 days and wanted to do some cooking of fresh things we bought from nearby marketplace), our windows faced the street so it was rather noisy much of the day into late evening. I assume the rooms that face the other way would be much quieter. Overall, good experience and we would stay there again. Parking was very cramped and a little pricey (but that is likely the case everywhere in the downtown area)."
