I recently stayed at the Lord Elgin Hotel located in downtown Ottawa. The hotel itself is located in a great spot, close to everything, shopping, monuments, Time Horton’s, and it is all in walking distance. In the hotel, the staff was very nice and helped me with any problem I had (I had trouble opening my door). Finally in my room, I had access to the internet (wireless), cable television and even air-conditioning. At the pool, the water was warm and the pool itself was pretty big. There was no lack of towels or anything like that.
Overall, I would love to go back here and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a hotel in the Ottawa area.
