grab- -go snacks huge variety dove products
My room was very spacious, even bigger than i expected, it felt more like an apartment than a hotel. the breakfast had a huge variety. grab-and-go snacks were available! they use dove products for all the soaps and lotions. I thought that was a nice touch.
the room i was assigned was right next to the elevators, so it was a little noisy, especially with people chatting while waiting, but honestly, it was very slight

takeaway breakfast large tv helpful staff
The provided breakfast included takeaway breakfast sandwiches. A takeaway bag was also provided. This bag included water, a granola bar, a cookie, and a mint. The location is walkable to parliament hill and other tourist spots. Restaurants are just outside. Our room had the biggest TV I have ever seen. The staff was helpful. I needed more time for makeup, so they allowed an earlier check in before 2 pm. The breakfast was rich with many food options.
The elevators were occasionally slow though the stairs were a viable alternative.

I had a spacious room. It proved perfect for my needs. The breakfast included many choices. It was an easy walk into the city center.
The decor seemed very dated. The hallways had a slight odor.

a rather average experience
musty odor breakfast quality
the room was quite spacious and easy to access after checking in.
I found a lingering musty odor throughout the hallways. It was quite unpleasant. the provided breakfast was also disappointing. It lacked variety and the quality of food was below par. i expected more from this place, given the price.
