Seven adults with three rooms (two king suites & one king studio) stayed this past week. Overall we are very happy with the hotel. The front desk and housekeep staff were very helpful, polite and eager to assist. The parking garage was not suiteable for our extended passenger van but there were spaces available directly outside the back entrance. The... More

Just came home for our visit. Stayed in Room 817. Wow. Spacious. Comfortable. Amazing. I'll stay here again when I come to Ottawa. Enjoyed the stay much more than the Marriott on Kent. More

We stayed here for Winterlude with our two children, 3 and half and 17 months. The location was ideal. Just a block from Confederation Park, and the start of the Rideau Canal. The suite was huge. Plenty of room for all of our gear. (Double stroller, two pulk sleds, lots of winter clothes!) The fully stocked kitchen was very clean.... More

the location of the proper is good - short walk to the Parliament area and ByWard market, convention center, etc. The lobby has been renovated but the building is dated. Our suite was HUGE and clean, if not a bit tattered. flat screen TVs though. The bed in our suite was HORRIBLE and the springs seemed broken (i got poked... More

The rooms were good size and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. However the rooms are not well insulated from the noises internally or externally. I heard the elevators operating and heard the "dings" and we weren't particularly close to them. The city noise was also not insulated very well. It's a shame, I wouldn't stay there again just...

A decent hotel/residence but don't expect any luxury. If staying for a while ask for a suite with a washer/dryer. The staff are friendly but the buffet breakfast every morning gets old very quickly. More

I had the opportunity to stay here recently on a business trip. Looking at competitive locations in the area, I settled on this one based on ease of accessing desired areas by foot, and also considered secured parking. The parking garage is underwhelming, and tight for a full-sized vehicle. The entry to the hotel is a bit of an odd... More

If you're looking for an affordable and nice place to stay within walking distance of downtown Ottawa, this should be on your list. The interior is quite nice, but it is quite obvious that it is an older building with renovations. The pool is extremely small (only 3' 10" deep) and the ceilings are low. There's also a postal mail... More

Service at the Marriott Residence Inn Ottawa is outstanding. From manager, desk staff, kitchen staff, maid service > everybody was helpful and friendly. I've stayed at several hotels for business and personal trips and in my opinion the Marriott Residence Inn Ottawa ranks among the best. The location of this hotel can not be beat. It is walking distance to... More

This hotel has everything the business or vacation traveller needs: location, reasonable price, comfort, service, and breakfast. Friendly staff guide you in to a comfortable, spacious, clean room with a fully equipped kitchen, which is nice to have. The location is perfect for experiencing the best of Ottawa, which for me means the parliament buildings, Byward Market, the canal and... More
