It was our first time to Ottawa, so we had a lot of questions for the front desk staff, and they were so helpful and nice, giving good guidance on sight seeing, eateries. It is so well equipped and senior citizens user friendly too. In the downtown, heart of the city, every sight seeing spot is walking distance, safe neighborhood too. Wonderful experience.
