Room very large , furniture was old , not sure how clean . Staff friendly but only 1 on at front desk . Long wait times just to buy water or ask a question. But they were very accommodating.

Ottawa Marriott Hotel
Hotel is great, very clean and spacious. It's very walkable to find food etc. We also walk to downtown and Gatineau area - a bit of a distance but it's doable. The location is great, I feel safe to walk my dog at night around the hotel.
