Clean, well located. Polite staff.
Room was very clean. Cleaning staff and front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Check in was fast. Breakfast in hotel restaurant was good / efficient service (a Monday AM after 9am.) Restaurant seemed popular and busy- not a quiet place in the evening. Grocery, convenience store and coffee shops nearby. Major city attactions very near by.

Stayed for one night in a junior suite which was large, clean and modern. Pictures were accurate. Staff was friendly, I arrived quite early and they called me when the room was clean for early checkin. Would stay here again!

When we’re in Ottawa, it’s always the Metcalfe! Beautiful hotel with all utilities and great staff! The only thing would be to get the chrome cast fixed in all rooms to enjoy a good movie in rainy days.

We drove 8 hours to Ottawa only to be told that they did not have any parking available. They said it was not guaranteed and we had to find street parking. Staff was condescending and snooty. Terrible experience.
