My husband had a 1-day business meeting to attend so I thought I'd tag along since I have never been to Ottawa. The hotel reservation was made by my husband's work travel agency. The hotel was in an excellent location within the famous Byward Market and several restaurants. The hotel itself had friendly desk staff, the hotel and room were... more

Surprisely, I got this for $55 on priceline. Typical Courtyard style property but was on the 1st floor next to the lobby (and it was not noisy at night). They had a microwave so I used that to heat up some leftovers. You truly can't beat the location. I loved going to the Byward Market for lunch and people watching.... more

We just spent 2 nights at the Courtyard and overall were extremely happy with our stay. It is not a luxurious Marriott property and could use a freshening up in spots, but the standards seemed quite high for a hotel in this category. Location: Easy walking distance to Parliament Hill, National Gallery of Canada and Rideau Centre in the heart... more

You generally know what you are getting with a Courtyard and this one delivers. Its an older property, right in the heart of Ottawa conveniently located for the Congress center (about a 5 min walk away). Stayed two nights in late Oct '07. Standard Marriott Courtyard stuff (I always try and stay with Marriott if possible due to the consistently... more

Hallways smell like dirty socks is the best description. No safe in room, lighting is poor. Breakfast not included but is at their sister property The Residences. For a Marriott, this is an embarrassment unfortunately. Staff tries hard and is friendly but the place needs an overhaul more

Clean hotel in a great location. Might not be the fanciest place, but it is clean, prices are reasonable and the location is perfect. more

Stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved it. We were concerned about the noise level as the hotel is right in the heart of the market but didn't hear a thing...Wonderfully peaceful after long days (boat cruise on the Ottawa River, steam train to Wakefield, Museum of Civilization, National Gallery, light show on Parliament Hill, etc.). Front desk staff... more

I'll start with the good part...the location of this hotel is excellent if you like the night-life and being in the heart of the city. The room is decent...very comfortable bed, clean room. However, the bad part is that it is downtown, and loud. Be very careful what room you select because if you are anywhere near a main street,... more

This review is based on a 5-night stay in May 2007, written by a business traveller who frequents Marriott and Hilton-chain hotels throughout North America. This hotel is a solid bet when staying in the Ottawa area. Think of a four-level, 20-30 year old hotel with the standard Marriott Courtyard quality in the heart of downtown. Pros: - Standard Courtyard... more
