Shout our to Elizabeth, Marie, Mabel and Sandra! They were so friendly and helpful during breakfast and Sandra even offered to take a photo of our family. My parents truly enjoyed their stay in Ottawa and we look forward to coming back to this hotel again! The room, the lobby, and the breakfast area were all clean. We also enjoyed using the pool and gym! The only feedback is to please repaint the lowest level of underground parking. Cannot remember, either p3 or p4, but the entire walls was covered with shoe prints. It was not one area, but the whole entire floor had what looked like vandalism and a deliberate defacement of property. It was a horrifying, shocking and unsightly experience.

Note there are several shelters and low income housing across the street; mid afternoon and evening is not a good time to walk around neighbourhood and feel safe. Drive wherever you need even if a few blocks. (Not the hotels fault just the general area). Hotel overall was great as expected from a Holiday Inn.
