Great Stay in downtown Ottawa

Great stay within easy walking distance of the Jazz festival, tour of Parliament buildings, Rideau canal locks, and the Market. The service of the evening reception staff was helpful as we navigated the online check-in process. Booking at the last minute made the online check-in more challenging.

Be fully informed: this hotel requires biometric (face geometry) and government issued ID upload to a third-party site to access your room code. I wasn’t informed of this at booking. After receiving an email requesting a face scan and ID upload (after I booked) I contacted the hotel and was assured I could verify in person. However, weeks later upon arrival, I was told the system had changed days earlier and biometric upload was now mandatory with no alternative method to access the building and room code. . Onsite staff were kind, but senior management failed to inform booked guests of this policy change and left their staff with no options for remediation. Had I known, I would’ve canceled within the permitted window and booked elsewhere where in-person verification is used. Being told on arrival that I had no other option was unacceptable. Sonder's privacy notice claims data held by third-parties (Persona and Chekin) is deleted "promptly" or "two weeks after" the ID has been verified. If you're comfortable sharing your biometrics with a third party, the room itself was spacious and condo-like (kitchen, dining area, etc.) and the facilities standard (e.g., gym).

Very noisy (they give earplugs for sleeping) and an outside view of a window of an office building (less than 2 meters away) with government employees on the phone. It took me 10 minutes to get in the room since everything is online (no desk office or key cards to get in the room). Overly annoying to provide personnal information online to confirm the reservation.
