Great location .

We were a family of four and a small dog that were initially given a room with a single King bed even though I had specifically booked a room with two queen beds on Expedia. The staff instead of apologizing for the confusion said that when we book thru a third party ( expedia) they cannot assure us a room but that they would put in extra mattresses in the room. They did find us a room with two... more

Location was ideal

We loved our choice. Close to everything. Staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. The hotel is spotless and has everything you need.

Great weekend

Very enjoyable stay in ottawa. City is very clean and people friendly. Parliament visit and tour was very interesting. Changing do the guard in front of the parliament buildings is a must see. Will go back to visit the many great museums. Great shopping areas as well.

Great Trip

The only inconvenience is the parking, too pricey

great loacation

spacious rooms with wonderful service and a great breakfast.So close to the parliament !

Close to the sites.

Great hotel that is located within walking distance to all the sites and some nice restaurants. Staff was great.

Clean hotel, but small rooms, close to everything

Clean and convenient hotel, nice pool and workout facilities. Teen and kids rooms (games etc) that our kids enjoyed. Easy walk to everything in Ottawa. Rooms and the bathroom in the room are a little cramped for 4 people though!

Excellent service from door man to cleaners

Good location to events. Walking distance.

Friendly, helpful, and professional staff. Beautiful rooms. Parking a bit expensive but room rate was reasonable. Would definitely stay again.

Close all Must-see Sights

One night stay during buskerfest...very worth while. Entertainment was awesome, food was delicious and people were friendly.

Lovely facility, close to everything

This hotel was really lovely - and it had a Starbucks right on site (always a huge plus for me!). Staff were wonderful, and it was within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go.

Ottawa central

Good experience. welcoming staff, comfortable room, good location

One night

Stayed one night, it's our new favorite hotel in Ottawa.

Given a Room Schedule for Renovation at 4 Star $

I was so disappointed to see the room that I booked more than a month before the trip. It was a mess. Carpet stains, crud between bathroom tiles, peeled off wallpaper, chipped furniture and dirty walls. I used Lysol disinfected wipes to wipe down the room (something I always do after watching a "Dateline" exposé years ago) and found, for the first time, that the wipe was black after cleaning!... more

Loved my stay

Service was great, room was comfortable and I liked that there were restaurants in walking distance and I felt safe going it alone to the restaurants at night as a woman.

Location, clean, comfy beds

Hotel is starting to show it's age. Carpets, bathroom fixtures are due for a make over.

Nice Hotel

Well maintained. Relatively close to the main attractions in downtown Ottawa. Very accommodating and friendly staff.

Nice downtown hotel near everything

Staff was polite and helpful with great dining suggestions

Our Marriott Stay on the 19th Floor!

We LOVED the Marriott. We were on the 19th floor, with a view of the Ottawa River. It was fabulous! We needed a roll-a-way bed in addition to the pull out couch and Queen bed. We were surprised at the abundance of space! The bed was so comfortable...like sleeping on a cloud. Hotel staff were very friendly and informative. The pool was very clean. We didn't get a lot of time to experience other... more

Close to the Parliament buildings and Sparks St

Nice hotel within easy walking distance to the major sites in Ottawa. You can park your vehicle for your stay and just walk.

simply old and average

Lobby needs to be brighten up. Upon arrival from the parking elevator to the lobby it felt like we were on the wrong floor. Check-in took around 15 minutes even though ! was first in line. Was also asked for ID on my prepaid room for my own security and there is no written policy on this. Couldn't cancel because of the non-refundable cancellation.The bath had touch-ups to cover the paint chips... more

Hotel close to the downtown sights.

Liked the hotel location, hotel staff, hotel restaurants and room.

Parking

We had a nice stay. No real issues with hotel. Breakfast included was a plus only wish parking was also included.

Convenient Location

But the balcony window was not shut so was chilly when we first got in. I managed to close it, but it will be a problem for the next person to open the balcony door. Staff was absolutely terrific; no problem was too small to fix immediately. Buffet breakfast had a lovely assortment of eats, not just bacon and scrambled eggs. The fresh fruit was a treat.

great location

Ottawa great city, walked and rode are bikes everywhere.

Parking is an issue. We have a truck that can't be parked underground so we had to either use valet or find parking on the steet. Valet is way too expensive at $30 plus tip.

I Recommend Ottawa Marriott Hotel

Had an excellent stay in Ottawa Marriott. Prime location, walking distance to everything, great service. If internet connectivity is important for you do not rely on the free WiFi access in the room because it is slow.

Overall nothing great

Rooms were small... lots of noise, didn't enjoy our stay at all

dirty dirty

Very friendly and helpful staff

This hotel is very comfort and kid friendly. Their staff is very helpful and willing to help. The snack and drink in lobby is attactive to our kids.

Thanks!

Great service, clean rooms, good stay

Nice hotel, some service was horrible

We spilled something on our duvet, took 2 calls, a trip to front desk and 1h30mins to get one. Late at night after a long day, wasn't happy

The staff was more than accommodating.

We only stayed for one night but the hotel was centrally located to where we wanted to go. The elevators were very fast considering how many floors there are.

Great room, staff so so

Great bed, bedding, pillows and shampoos etc. Staff at checkin never seemed to look up at time of check-in. The in-hotel restaurant, Spin, was actually excellent, with the same menu served in the lounge and the quieter restaurant side.

Close to Parliament and Byward Market.

Good overall. Our room was across from elevator banks so all night noise. Biggest complaint was no bathroom exhaust so after shower bathroom mirror stays foggy which delays make up, blow dry etc. and with two women trying to get out early it was a frustration.

Ottawa

Hotel was great. Staff were very helpful. Good location easy to find and close to everything.

Wonderful stay

The rooms were typical hotel rooms but the staff and service were AMAZING! Everyone who worked there was very helpful and went above and beyond!!

My bed was a bit soft.

hotel noise

$ 300.00 a night for a room that we only got 3 hours sleep over night our room had a joining doors , big noise issue . the people next door made noise until 4:00 am the first night

Very good location

The hotel is very conveniently located about one block from the Parliament building in downtown Ottawa, and at the beginning of Sparks street which a street closed to car traffic and lined up with stores, bars and restaurants. Definitively a good choice as long as the price is right for your budget.

Be careful

Be careful if you are driving SUV type of cars. Some part of the underground parking doesn't have the height for it. Also my room was right in front if three elevators so people looked straight into my room each time I came out - good to avoid those rooms.

Ottawa is one of my favourite cities to visit and the Marriott is always my first choice for hotels. It's location is optimal to walk everywhere. Sparks st, parliament, mint and convention centre are all within close walking distance. The hotel is very clean and regularly renovated. There's a kids room, teen room, pool and fitness centre on the 4th floor that add hours of fun to your stay.... more

Great Hotel, close to everything

Nice location, clean room but best of all was the friendly and hospitable staff.

couldn't ask for more

you will not find a better place to stay in Ottawa! Great location, amazing view and everything you could ask for out of the staff. Very curtious, helpful and make your stay even more enjoyable.

Downtown hotel in Ottawa

It was a great experience and the staff was excellent. The restaurant was great and location is a plus. We were just expecting the extra wow from our previous experiences at the Marriotts.

Very good hotel

We stayed here for one day only. Hotel situated at a very nice location with very clean and airy rooms The check in was quick. The hotel staff was friendly.

Great location

Located near Parliament and an airport bus stop. Friendly front desk staff and a good sized fitness facility.

Would recommend

Excellent hotel with one of the best buffet breakfasts I've ever had!

I'm very satisfied

From check-in to leaving the hotel for my next designation to Montreal, I am very satisfied with the service, comfort of the room and enjoyed my stay at this property.

Comfy bed

It was a very nice experience overall. The room was mostly clean, but the tub could have been a bit cleaner. And who wants to drink out of hotel glasses that aren't wrapped? Ick. Other than that, it was a very nice experience. The staff were very pleasant, the rest of the room was in very good condition.

Ottawa Spartan Race

As I was flying up to Ottawa to attend the Spartan Race, I chose to bundle both hotel and car along with flight. As a marriott rewards member i chose the marriott brand based upon quality. location was excellent and local to the downtown as well as parliament, though they weren't our main purpose for going... easy access to major highway and airport. staff was very helpful

Excellent

Excellent hotel. Could not expect more. Maybe a Jacuzzi if I want to be picky. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Ottawa Trip

It was a perfect place to stay for our Ottawa trip. the location was perfect. Lots of things to go and in walking distance to everything.

good for business travelers

Convenient downtown location, within steps of government offices. Clean, safe neighborhood. Food is average, but breakfast buffet ($20 Can) has many healthy options. This is a very good choice for business travelers, although I also saw many local families visiting the capital.

Average from every point of view

For every positive feature you could find a negative one: the corner room has plenty of window glass,but the windows are dirty, there is even a balcony on one side, but it is closed. Sound-proofing is not terrific, so you have to be on one of the higher floors to escape on omni-present street noise. Overall, the rooms are quite... more

Long Weekend Trip

We had a great experience at the Marriott Ottawa. We arrived in the city early in the morning for the May long weekend, and the front desk let us check in at 9:30am which was very convenient. The rep that helped us out, was great. We had a King room on the 6th floor and the bed was very comfy.... more

Good business hotel

I stay at this hotel 10-20 times each year. It is in a great location in the downtown with easy access either driving or taking a taxi from the airport. The location allows one to easily get to either the Ottawa river or canal for a morning run and the fitness club is adequate for most road warriors. The rooms... more

Comfortable stay for business trip

I stayed two nights at the Ottawa Marriott. Excellent customer service, very friendly staff, suburb location in walking distance to most major attractions and shopping, comfortable beds and clean room. Starbucks off the lobby was an unexpected treat! No complaints on this stay and I would recommend this hotel.

Great stay at the Ottawa Marriott, exceeded expectations

I recently stayed at the Ottawa Marriott for one night with family. I've previously been to this property, and have never been disappointed. Quality of hotel, location to Parliament and Byward Market are a plus. Customer service always exceeds my expectations. We booked 3 rooms, two of which were standard with 2 double beds which accommodated well to our family,... more

Simply Amazing

I recentky stayed here with my two boys. It was great. They have very friendly staff you are reasonably close to everything and the best part was the Kids Club. They have a great floor for kids with basketball netss, play room, air hockey, shuffle board. pool, gaming consoles etc. My kids loved it. we had a very clean room... more

Great Downtown Hotel

Customer service was very welcoming and helpful. Rooms were exceptionally clean and nicely equipped. Although the bathroom was a bit on the smaller side, the finishes were lovely and well cared for. This Hotel is in a great downtown location, with access to many sights within walking distance. Lots of food choices in or near the Hotel - there is... more

old tired and small

we always go marriott , never missed.this time was not what we are used to.almost imposible to park to unload.rooms are really small not as fresh as normal marriott. still clean.cannot complaint we had fun any ways

good hotel

Good location, old but okay facilities, staff (looked insufficient) but okay, too. As a Marriott member for many years, I must say it is not the best Marriott, there are many ways to improve but it was acceptable.

Great downtown hotel

Ottawa Marriott downtown,is a block from Parliament and across from Supreme Court. Many rooms have a great view of city. Room has a small refrig, keurig machine plus a hot water pot, but it really would have been nice to have a safe.
They have a green policy, where you either call the front desk or leave a green hanger... more

Good business hotel near Parliament Hill and Supreme Court

Well run, large hotel. King room is spacious, with good table and lots of light for working, a sofa and two chairs. Two blocks from Parliament Hill and Supreme Court of Canada near the War Museum. Extensive hot buffet is approximately $20.00. Nice toiletries. Drugstore across the street. Long walk/short bus ride to the tourist/restaurant areas (Elgin Street and the... more

Great hotel, but there is a short walk to restaurants or night life

I stayed at this hotel off and on for over a year while traveling to Ottawa on Business. I love the staff, especially Lisa in the concierge lounge, I don't think I've every met a more friendly person. We also love Bob at the restaurant bar. The rooms are very comfortable and many have fantastic views. There is a great... more

I could have made a better choice for accomodation

This is a long one but I hope you'll read it because it is depicting reality.
We tried to book on line from mariott.com 2 rooms for 4 people but the totals were not adding up so we called customer support.after the second call it turned out I was adding 4 people/room instead of 2 but it wasn't showing in... more

I travelled to Ottawa and stayed in the Delta Ottawa and had a better experience

we arrived in Ottawa and went to check in. I was first notified that there was a $250 deposit needed that the hotel would hold until we checked out. I was kind of annoyed that the hotel didn't have 2 beds, found parking entrance was hard to find. we went around in circles. Then went we tried to enter the... more

Amazing

We loved that hotel. The playroom was awsome, so was the swimming pool. The rooms were nice and clean! I strongly recommend it! It's a walking distance from the parlament and Ottawa's War museum. Close to Gatineau's park and The children's museum.

Excellent Hotel with Superb Customer Relations

I had a very comfortable and enjoyable four night stay at the Ottawa Marriott during a research conference. The staff were excellent from the reception and bar staff through to the Management and the Housekeeping. Particular thanks to Ranjana, the Assistant Housekeeping Manager. On my arrival back in the UK, I realised that I had left some clothes behind. Following... more

Silver Anniversary was better than Platinum

This week I booked a hotel room to stay at the Ottawa Marriott to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The night and the stay will be a highlight and memory that my wife and I will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank-you so much - Ottawa Marriott.
I had identified to the General Manager - Mr Laliberte a few... more

Average Marriott - What You'd Expect

We arrived for our one night stay around 3PM. The first thing that we did was pull into the self-park garage ($18/night with no in-out) and were surprised with how narrow the lane was and how low the ceiling was. We were in a SUV and had a few tense moments.
The front-desk staff were friendly, although there was a... more

wonderful experience

We recently stayed at the hotel for the Mothers day weekend which also happened to be our 40th anniversary
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful
We had a wonderful room and it was close to all the sights
The hotel was very clean and well maintained
I would stay there again

Old hotel but excellent location

Stayed one night here for the tulip festival. Hotel is clean and lobby is nice. Add bolus for direct access to Starbucks. Hotel is old and washroom is extremely small for hotels in this class. No safe in room and limit closet space. Bed is very bouncy but sheets are comfortable. We got a balcony suit but the balcony is... more

Marriott never disappoints

Another great Marriott in a great location. Stayed for two nights in a double bed sharing with another person on the 14th Floor. A perfect location in Downtown Ottawa around most hotels and close to Parliament Hill.
The rooms are spacious and more business like, clean and comfortable. The windows were covered in dust from outside due to construction on... more

Quiet location... But Close to Everything

I stayed here for a work assignment about 1 block away. Stayed for almost 2 full weeks. The hotel front desk staff was always friendly as I walked by. The doormen were always there with a "hello" or "how are you? ". The maid service was always impeccable and friendly if I saw her in the hall. One Saturday morning... more

Good location for visiting Parlement buildings

Checking in and out was swift and efficient.
We had a large corner room on the 9th floor. The "lovely view" mentioned at check-in was of the construction project across the street through very dirty windows! The room was large and clean and the bed very comfortable. The hotel is old, so although the bathrooms are adequate, they are on... more

An excellent choice

I booked into this hotel because it was hosting the conference I was attending, so I didn't read any reviews in advance, which I normally do for a hotel, and therefore had no real idea what to expect. I had a very pleasant experience throughout my two--night stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One day I managed to... more

The staff just can't do enough to assist and look after you

We had the pleasure of staying here for five nights last week. Gabriel checked us in and we were delighted with our 26th floor room which gave great city views and was almost next door to the Concierge Lounge. Our room was bright, comfortable and clean as we have come to expect from Marriott. We quickly discovered that it appears... more

Clean comfortable stay

Stayed for 2 nights, check in was easy, booked online and prepaid.
Room although not large was clean and well equipped, Large TV, mini fridge, Keurig coffee maker with supplied cups was a nice surprise and more cups brought to our room when requested. Beds were very comfortable with nice sheets though the pillows were kind of flat. Gym was... more

Marriott as it should be

Honestly, I can't find anything bad to say about this hotel. The location is absolutely unbeatable - 5 minute walk from the Parliament. The parking is a bit pricey, but there are several parking lots around the hotel for a much more affordable price. As one of my pictures displays, "WiFi should be like air: free and everywhere". Just this... more

great

I really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were exceptional and friendly to our 3 kids, The game room was great for them after a long day of walking to see the sights and it was free, so you cant beat it . The only complaint I would make it the keurig machine in my room looked like it hadn't... more

Great service and child friendly

We really enjoyed our stay. All the staff from our maid to the bellhops were very friendly and quick to meet our needs. Our two boys enjoyed the pool area which also house two separate play areas for children. One room had an indoor climber. Toys and an assortment of wii and Xbox play-stations. There was also a teen area... more

Standard Marriott

Our stay at the Marriott was fine, the hotel is clean and spacious as you would imagine with a Marriott, and the location is relatively good (in the middle of downtown and about 15 minutes walk from the main bar area). Our only gripe was that on our last morning a water pump broke, which meant we had to check... more

Lara made this stay a pleasure and the room was nice too

It's not that hard to provide a nice, clean room with all the trimmings (with some notable exceptions of course) but it's always been the people that make or break a hotel experience. This Marriott is fortunate to have the happy friendly face of Lara at the front desk where the luck of the draw matched us up for the... more

Everything you expect from Marriott and more

Check in was a breeze with friendly and helpful staff. Our room was on the 26th floor and faced the parliament buildings. We enjoyed the great view. The room was very clean. The bathroom was on the small side and a bit dated, but it was very clean. The King bed was super comfortable. The best part was the location.... more

Service and Staff are amazing

I stayed at the Ottawa Marriott on Tuesday April the 8th 2014. The staff wow! Not only did they help me book a massage for after hour's, by suggesting what to say and whom to call but I also lost my boarding pass they had no issues logging me into the flyporter web page and printing me new passes. When... more

Clean and comfortable

Besides always being in a room facing away from the gothic brilliance of Parliament Hill, I've always had a great stay here. Street noise can be an issue on the lower floors and I've yet to enter the ground floor restaurant but I can't fault them for either. Staff have always been friendly, even when finding me taking pictures of... more

Not so pet friendly" and other issues

The first part of this review will concern everyone. This Marriott hotel is an average looking hotel with some little extras that might or might not be worth the price depending on who you are. The pros of the hotel are the Starbucks, the pool and the comfort of the bed. The cons are the soundproofing (hello doorslams, screams and... more

Comfort place

I stayed two nights here for a business trip and I found the place comfortable.
Place: located in downtown of Ottawa,near to everything.Even you don't ne'er to have your car but of course if you need it,it costs 25$ extra for nightly parking.
Lobby: not luxury ,simple and a little bit old
Elevators: They are the weakest part of this... more

Conference Room booking

Over the years in my career, I have attended/arranged meetings in more hotels than I care to remember (in Canada and in the USA). The Marriott provided excellent accommodations for the company's needs. No question!
What stood out was the outstanding customer service - from everyone who works there!
How refreshing!!!!
Cathy McGovern
It's a Match

Awesome staff and nice rooms. Location ok

Staff are really friendly and helpful. The newly renovated rooms are nice and comfortable. Location is ok...just be prepared to walk to go anywhere. Plan ahead to leave on weekends because you wait and wait for elevators as they shut at least one or two off every weekend( must save them a couple dollars).
Waited 5 mins and by the... more

service

stayed overnight at this hotel and was very much impressed by the excellent service provided by the staff at the front desk. i was checked in very promptly and found the room was very comfortable.
one of the associates aka "LARA" gave an excellent service. She was polite, courteous and very professional.

Good Business Travel Hotel

Good location, close to Parliament Hill, but a bit far to Rideau Canal. Probably better in the summer when walking around is more pleasant.
The hotel is a bit “tired”, and as your typical Marriott, has no bells and whistles.
The gym has no steam room, but it has dry sauna and a small pool.
Expect to pay $25 a... more

Average hotel in a great location

Booked this hotel using priceline at an amazingly low rate. The location of the hotel is very convenient for walking about downtown and all of the major sights and museums are just a short car ride away. The bathrooms are quite average, although the sink and shower/bathtub drains were very slow causing a back up every time they were used.... more

Fantastic even in winter

Great views of the river and Parliament even in winter. Also the staff was very a accommodating. I really enjoyed my first trip to Ottawa despite the fact it was frigid and snowed 6 inches. I was upgraded to a corner view with my elite status...great how they treat members of the program.

Third stay and enjoy it again

I stayed here with my family for one night in March 2014. We stayed on the 19th floor in a room with 2 double beds. Again, I booked my room through Hotwire and found the rate reasonable. Parking was a bit expensive at $22 night, but it was in line with other Ottawa properties.
Positives:
- Large pool and fitness... more

Newly renovated Ottawa Marriott- A Winner!

A very nice hotel for the money! We had a nice quiet room that had very comfortable beds! We were able to walk to everything!

Not quite what we expected

This hotel is conveniently located near a number of tourist sites, and it has a staff who try hard to be accommodating.
I booked a concierge level room. It was clean and comfortable. However, the concierge lounge was a disappointment. The breakfast offerings were very basic and the lounge was only open till 11 am with breakfast offerings finishing at... more

Decent location in downtown Ottawa

Booked via Marriott site.
Arrived late afternoon and check in was friendly. The room on the club floor was smaller than expected but the view was great, from parliament to river. The king bed was comfortable, LED TV with good selection, decent sized bathroom, free Wi-Fi for free. Furniture was a bit old.
The gym was well equipped, however the... more

What a view

We were there for a short stay but loved our room... We were on the 19th floor, a corner room with huge Windows overlloking the river and Parliment buildings. Wow it was great, comfortable, and quite big. The only negative is the price of the restaurant on site , which is too expensive!!
18$ for a bufet breakfast...I don't eat... more

Average hotel; Very Nice Staff

This is just a very average Marriott hotel. Rooms are pretty large but are just kind of old. Bathrooms are clean but small. Wireless internet is free but is slow. Spin restaurant was average and expensive. Location is good and the staff was very friendly and made my stay as positive as possible.

wonderful stay at the ottawa marriott

My husband, teenage son and myself had the pleasure of staying at the Ottawa Marriott hotel this past weekend!!!! Top notch from the check in to our lovely room on the 18th floor overlooking the parliament buildings. The hotel was beautifully decorated and every staff member we encountered were very pleasant and went out of their way to make us... more

Balcony

Balcony corner room was perfect!! The only downfall was the constant beeping noise from snow removal equipment !! We were on the 22nd floor and it was very annoying ! No hot tub either which we found odd ... Yes I would stay here again

Not worth it and not 4 star

Really disappointed, not the 4 star Marriott I was expecting. The room we had was dingy and the fan was so loud I hardly slept. Woke up to drilling from renos going on in the morning. Really not pleasant this time around. I did mention my issues upon checkout and no real effort was made to do right by the... more

In April 2008 I stayed at the Marriott on Kent Street. I have come to the view that I seem to sleep best at the Marriott chain. The beds are great.

The Marriott on Kent and Queen has the Merlot restaurant up above up top. The beds are great as usual. There is a good gym and health spa at the hotel and the place is situated right downtown so I think the location is convenient.

it's a great hotel and i enjoyed my stay there. Very good facilities and great Service. You can have dinner downstairs at the Hotel restaurant and then have a beer at the bar. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. I am sure that you will enjoy yourself at this Hotel.

Unique Quality: The pool, the restaurant is very good

Directions: In the middle of all the attractions

The Ottawa Marriott Hotel is one of the most famous accommodations in Ottawa downtown district. It offers 480 beautiful and newly renovated rooms to it's guests. Open 24 hours with bilingual service reception and underground parking. The Marriott belongs to the high class hotels group because it's so luxurious in every which way. At the top of the hotel there is a restaurant at the top of the... more

I was fornute enough to stay in the Mariott Ottawa (the downtown hotel) courtesy of a government body, so I'm probably not the best person to give a review on the "quality for money spent" aspect of the hotel. Nevertheless, given that I spent the night in Ottawa U's dorms the last time I was in Ottawa, this was a great improvement in terms of comfort and cleanliness. The staff is exceptionally... more

A very good hotel at a reasonable price within ten minutes walk of parliament Hill

Unique Quality: Easy to find just fiteen minutes taxi ride from Ottawa very modern railway station

I booked two rooms here through Hotwire and immediately went to the reviews. I read a lot of scary things about this place, but pretty much all of them were unwarranted. One of the most pressing concerns was the underground parking lot. But after parking here for one night I figure that those who complained were probably just horrible drivers! The price for parking was a complete rip off ($18!)... more

I stayed here for 2 nights and it was really hard not to compare this hotel to a 70 year old who had got some Botox and a facelift. Meet her at a fancy dinner party with the lights turned down low and she's a stunner. Meet her bikinied self on the beach on a bright summer day and you'd be like "ma'am there's a discrepancy between the face and the body".

Excellent, personal response from Manager! Convenient to downtown Ottawa! Fresh air with an openable window!!!

Entry from street is a bit of a problem due to construction and limited space.

I loved the room and the restaurant.

It was noisy all night long people were slamming their doors. The coffee machine didn't work well. The bar was anti-social. !!!

Le confort du lit, la proximité de Parliament Hill, le petit-déjeuner très copieux !

Le parking à 18$ pour 24h ne nous permet pas d'aller et venir avec notre auto (il faut payer 25$ pour une passe de 24h)... Le Starbucks de l'hôtel ferme à... more

Staff was great.

Bed & pillows were uncomfortable, carpet in room needed to be cleaned or replaced. It was very dirty and unpleasant to walk without socks or shoes.

Comfy beds. Clean room.

Shower rod looked like it was going to fall off.

Da localização e da cidade.

Apesar de termos pago pelo upgrade (executive level), não tivemos serviço de café-da-manhã diferenciado, pois o lounge só funciona até às 09:30hs, assim como o buffet (fraco) do café-da-manhã

zentrale Lage in der Nähe von Parliament Hill; sauberes, großes Zimmer

Very clean hotel, walking distance to downtown, overall really enjoyed

Coming from toronto area a little surprise how much garbage is on the
streets, a little dissapointed the restaraunt in lobby closed so soon

it was ok, not more

i payed for the room and still need to pay 20 dollars for day parking, why ?

La localisation la proximite des points touristiques

Le petit dejeuner devrait etre inclus dans le prix des chambres

The amenities were great! And its always nice to have a Starbucks on the first floor.

The dryer was broken and they took forever to bring me a new one.

La situation (près de tout) .Le rapport qualité prix

Le site internet indiquait un resto gastronomique dans la tour de l'hôtel.rendu sur place on nous a dit qu'il était fermé.

Le grand lit doullet

Le fait que le personnel à l'accueil ne parle pas français

Pas de surprise pour ce type d'hotel très US Jouxte la direction de Transport Canada et plusieurs administrations canadiennes

Le prix trop élévé, j'ai payé une nuit 289 CAD en plus il faut ajouter environ 15% de taxes le prix devrait se situer vers 150-160 CAD maximum

Proximité de l'Hotel

Prix du déjeuner

Location

Parking fee In room wifi fee Thin walls...easy to hear noisy neighbours No complimentary breakfat

I liked the view and ..king size bed )

I have no complains

Personal sehr nett, Frühstück Buffet Super und im Vergleich noch günstig, Zentrum in 3 Minuten erreichbar, Das Zimmer wurde mir doppelt verrechnet ( einfach gut kontrollieren) erklären und dann gibt's da auch keine weiteren Probleme

Friendly staff. Very nice pool.

$ 4.50 bottles of water in hotel room. Very confusing parking lot below
ground. $ 1.50 local phone calls are ridiculous.

Staff,service,location,green program.

Room design a bit out of date - single sink, no separate make-up area.

Chambre tres propre et lit tres confortable Belle vue Personnel Service

Cuisine du restaurant plutot mediocre

C'était bien en général

On n'a pu dormir avant 4hres am, dû à un groupe qui ont fait la fête
dans le couloir; j'aurais aimé que le personnel les avertisse ou
même les expulse....mais non rien de celà!!!

Business Trip

Small Room, very small bathroom, old dirty floor carpet, too expensive

I really like this hotel. I spend a lot of time in Ottawa and I like coming here.

I've always been treated well and they accommodate requests with no issues. The rooms are cozy (and I don't mean small). When I come back at the end of a long day, I can relax and fall asleep easily here.

Here's an embarrassing admission- I travel frequently, and I always bring a bear (named Behr) with me that... more

Stayed at this hotel for the weekend and I have nothing bad to say about it other then parking cost 24$ for 24 hours which can be a but pricey it you're staying for a few days. The location is great, downtown and close to everything! The rooms were a tad small but very nice ad clean with a nice flat screen tv. The mini keurig machine in the room is a nice touch, there's also a starbucks... more

I've stayed here a number of times in the past and have noticed an improvement in the past couple visits. The staff are warm and friendly, the high speed wifi is great and the room service is fantastic! I wanted to write this review for those who have dietary needs.

I have celiac disease and must eat gluten-free. When I travel, this frequently becomes a challenge as I often get sick from room... more

2 nights in the capital

Hotel was only 3 blocks from the parlement, and from walking distance of the canal rideau and the By Market. We parked the car and did not need it until our departure. The room was comfortable and spacious. Micro fridge in the room, and balcony. The only "negative" points is that the bathroom was small with a door that did not close well, and the sliding door to the balcony wasn't opening... more

A consistently good place to stay if in Ottawa.

Stayed here for two nights in June. Great location - 5 minute walk from Parliament, 10 minute walk from Byward Market. Underground parking was a bit pricy ($35ish total) but not terrible.

It's a bit of a "workmanlike" Marriott, but it gets the job done. The lobby is attractive, recently renovated, and has a Starbucks attached. The rooms themselves are nothing spectacular - average size, and... more

A decent, if dated, Marriott hotel in an easy downtown location. I had a corner room on the 17th floor overlooking the Parliament building which was nice. The Wifi speed seemed really good, though it hated my iPad for some reason. A great touch in the room was a small Keurig coffee machine.

Overall the appearance was nice but it just had an 'old building' smell. Don't know if there is any kind... more

Stayed here on Saturday night with my husband. It was clean and the staff were very polite. I had an issue where I brought the wrong identification with me, since I recently changed my name, and they were understanding and allowed me to show an old student ID to clear up the situation. It was appreciated as they could have been a lot more strict with it.

The real thing that's awesome about... more

We stayed there recently for the Army Run, was very expensive even with the "army run discount." There was hair in the tub. The elevators were fast but shook and was kinda scarey. they wouldn't let us have extended check out even by an hour cause they claimed they were fully booked but my husband was running a half marathon so he would need a shower after the run so they said we could use the... more

The hotel is okay, but not if you consider the prices they charge. I stayed here for 4 days. The cleaning service for the room was poor-to-bad. My bed was quickly made by just pulling the sheets up. Nothing tucked in or pulled straight, and worse of all using the same linnen. Bathroom still had the wet face cloth that I had used and no new towels, and had in fact refolded one of the towels... more

Bathroom counter is filthy to the touch. All vending machines are empty, so they charge you 33% more for the hassle of going to the front desk for a soft drink. Not impressed.

We asked for late check-out - and instead they gave us a pass to the gym and shower, Wonderful! Thank you Chantal super pleasant stay.

Great location

It's right in the heart of downtown Ottawa, making it extremely easy to walk to many tourist locations.

business trip

Central and useful for Ottawa tourism or business; nice and central

Nice Hotel

This is a conveniently located hotel, with nice bedrooms and pretty nice kids and teens area on the 4th floor.I would recommend it to anyone with kids traveling around Ottawa.

GREAT property! Location, Lounge, and comfortable beds! Need thicker towels though!!!

Trip with 3 other buddies

Very close to where you need to be...about 2kms from Byward market. Good location, staff was nice, make sure to ask for a balcony for your room!

We stayed at the Ottawa Marriott this past weekend for two nights. My husband was attending a conference at Algonquin College and I was all snobby about being put up in some gross, sweaty, under age drinking, teen pregnancy dorm so I grabbed a room here instead.

I've been to Ottawa a few times for work and other commitments and have had good experiences at places like the Byward Blue Inn (no... more

Great central location

Perfect downtown location-convenient to everything. Excellent staff,very nice bar/resturant.

Great Place

Nice size room. Bathroom a little small in relation to room size. Great staff. Would stay there again.

it was okay

The staff wasn't helpful at all, i called down for a bunch of stuff and they couldnt help me

Spent a weekend at the 4-star Ottawa Marriott Hotel, and I was able to get a discounted room rate through hotline, where I was able to bid on the price of a room. In the end, I was able to get the room for $85/night.

I didn't have much time to check out the amenities of this hotel. My room was clean and comfortable with adequate desk space, WiFi, and a flat screen. I was able to have a quick... more

“The restaurant was good, but the portions for the price were very small. The room was very comfortable and the bed was amazingly comfortable.”

“Great location and service.”

“Solid downtown hotel--the lobby appears to have been recently renovated. The rooms were clean and well maintained with some small-scale renovations it seems at the bathroom area. However, the decor and furniture could use a renovation and/or updating to bring it up to a true 4* hotel. However, would stay here again.”

big disappointment, but nice recovery

The big disappointment was that the hotel had overbooked itself and we had to go down the street to the Delta, which is not on par with the Marriott. The Marriott comped our room at the Delta and said to come back for the second night of our stay and they would upgrade us. The upgrade was ok and they said they would comp our second night as well....and that I should see a credit on my visa in 3... more

Noisy room

love Marriott hotels in general. Don't let them put you on the 5th floor at this location...whistling noise from the elevators will drive you crazy.

Ended up in Ottawa after a disastrous car-mishap on the way to Montreal. Figured we would make the best of our weekend and stay in Ottawa. Having never been, we wanted a hotel downtown. Used the Priceline App from Highway 401E and managed to scare the Marriott for a great price.

Our view was GORGEOUS overlooking the canal and parliament buildings. Room was nice and clean with a super... more

My wife was served a piece of glass in her breakfast eggs in the 26th floor lounge. June 2nd. Otherwise room was clean with nice view of river. Food venues need to be inspected by City to see if there are other problems. My advice - be careful if you stay here.

Ottawa Marriot

Short stay downtown with a reasonable price. Great staff. Little dated rooms.

Nothing special

The service is great, however hotel is the early 90s time-capsule.It's unfortunate that Ottawa being Canada's capital does not have better Marriott. I've stayed in a number of Marriotts around the world and this one does not cut it. Bed was very comfortable which was a definite ++

Weekend in Ottawa

Front Desk was very nice and helpful. Arrived ahead of schedule and let us check in early. Room did have a continuous running toilet but the front desk offered another room to which I declined knowing I was going to be out most of the day and would rather it be fixed and not waste the water. It was fixed when we got back. Was woken from sleep with a fire alarm which was a false alarm and... more

“Great location, friendly staff, nice lobby bar and Starbucks.”

“Very convenient. Worth the Priceline cost.”

Horrible parking lot with the lowest roofs ever. My Acura MDX just BARELY fit into it and the "hanging maximum height bar" hits my roof as I enter it. Brutal. Parking is $22/night if you plan on leaving and $18 otherwise which is awful. Valet guy was rude as I pulled up once I told him I'd park it myself, wouldn't let me in the convenient parking garage entrance and made me circle the entire... more

“ Always clean and really great facilities. Also close to shopping! ”

“ Nice rooms, lovely bedding and very comfortable. Hotel staff was very accommodating. Visited during the Santa Claus parade unaware to us, staff called to advise that there would be delay getting around town driving. Worked out well in long run although appreciated the heads up. ”

“This hotel was a great hotel despite the lobby being under construction. The revolving restaurant is a nice touch and we had a corner room on the 12th floor which was an awesome view.”

I've stayed here twice and enjoyed the staff and hotel. The restaurant at the top has a great view of Ottawa. I'm a big fan of the Marriott chains and love that this hotel is pet friendly.

“We have gone to this hotel several times in the past years, and I have to say, it is one of my favorites by far.”

“Staff were very friendly, loved the rooms, and very happy.”

“In general, we had a really pleasant stay at the Marriott Ottawa. The only problem we encountered was the current renovation they're having. The lobby has become significantly smaller, and the weekend we're there, there are a number of weddings going too. Thus, it was extremely busy at the lobby and with the elevators.”

“When we got to the hotel and negotiated the lobby renovation, we found a long line waiting to 1) register, which went OK, and 2) waiting for the one elevator that was working. Large 20+ storey hotel, fully booked and one elevator. We asked about where the stairs were for our 11th floor room and were rudely told they were for staff/emergencies only. We went downstairs, found the stairs and took... more

Great Experience!

The Hotel was under construction when I stayed there. It was still very professional looking and the hotel staff was very nice. The room was wonderful and the bed was so very comfortable.

Stay Away!!

Had 3 colleagues check in to the Mariott -- This hotel was great 2-3 years back (2007/8) -- Now its gone to the Dogs!! Stay away from the hotel -- the folks all the way from the registration to service are very inconsiderate & rude. Strongly recommend the Courtyard Marriott at MarriottCourtyardOttawa.…. Atleast that one is close to the bars & the Hard Rock Cafe! Now I walk in shame... more

“Overall I'm very satisfied with the selection and the location. The Hotel staff were very accommodating and friendly.”

Shame about the lobby remodeling

The hotel has been undergoing an extensive remodeling of the lobby area. As a consequence you have to take a roundabout route to get from the lobby to the rooms. If you're in and out of the hotel a lot, or have restricted mobility, this will be a problem.[...] I also got two free bottles of water one night when I asked about change for the vending machines. The desk person helpfully pointed out... more

“The location was good. Unfortunately, the construction and inconvenience of non-functioning elevators, inaccessible pool, pneumatic drilling, scaffolding and general mayhem made our stay less than pleasant.”

“I would have rather paid a bit more and stayed at the Westin. This hotel has no spark or something that makes one want to stay and relax. My family, including my children (7 and 9) tried to make sure we were out in order to stay out of the room as it was so basic, especially the bathroom. The carpets looked dirty and stained, so I made sure my kids always had on their flip flops.”

It's a Marriott, so expect to have a nice room that is clean and updated. Comfy beds always. The lobby is currently undergoing renovation, so they are rerouting you through a small maze of elevators. But if that is the worst thing I have to deal with in a day, I'm OK. Fitness Center is good and clean. The Concierge Lounge has a great view, although the food is just so-so. I never stay anywhere... more

Family trip

Hotel is conveniently close to everything we wanted to see in Ottawa. Hotel is clean.

Marriott Ottawa

Very nice hotel to stay at. There was cold water in the front reception with a snack available to all guest. The staff was extremely friendly. The pool, sauna room clean and enjoyable. Apples were left outside for a snack as well. The only flaw was that it's going through renovations right now so to trek from the underground parking to our rooms was inconvenient.

“Overall, this was the best
I have stayed in Ottawa.”

Ottawa Marriott Aug 2011

Great location to walk around and see the sights of Ottawa.

“ Room was way to small for 2 beds, High Speed internet more like the speed of dial up, pool had garbage and bandages in it, no room service after 10pm, breakfast was cold, bathroom two small for 2 people, 4 cracks in the tub, window only open an inch, worst hotel ever. ”

“While advertised as a 4 star hotel, travelers should have been notified of the construction in progress, and so some of amenities not available.”

Marriott Ottawa 7/26 and 7/27

Good location. Lives up to the expectations I have of a Marriott. Clean. Decent restaurant on premises, etc.

Ottawa

Very nice. However we had to ask for another room as they gave us a small room with a full size bed. The request was immediate. They were under construction so we had to take two different elevators to our room of choice. We attended a family funeral and toured the Business district.

“ Clean and comfortable room even for family. Good location and convenient valet parking.
”

“The hotel is located near the parliament house, walking distance from the market, in a nice zone. Has direct access to the parking, it is a fee involved, but all does. The rooms and bathroom are very small, but if you are traveling alone or whit 1 partner, I guess is ok. They are restoring the cafeteria and lobby, so, for now they are saving breakfast on the roof top Restaurant, and it is a... more

“ Overall I have a very nice experience with my friends, we never expected to have such a good view from our room, it's awesome skyline at night. However the valet parking is a bit turn off as there were not enough employees working and my car got scratched on the left hand side. I'm certain it's from the valet parking, as the marks were not there when I first dropped off the car, and they were... more

“ I was there for one night only, but was well pleased with the room and it's decor. Very clean and room service very prompt. ”

“Hotel very nice with appropriate amenities for rating, but parking experience was very poor (unable to locate parking lot at
11 PM without actual staff help in car giving directions). Room key did not work with pool door.”

“The hotel room was comfortable and the window actually opened, very nice feature. The staff were the highlight though, they were fun and helpful. We parked in the underground parking lot, it was $17 per day when you park without valet, however, it is a low garage - check your clearance first if you have a pick-up. I would definitely stay here again.”

“ Personnel gave us excellent advice throughout our stay, regular reliable Marriott rooms, good atmosphere at the restaurant (have the chicken crisps for an appetizer, they are worth the $10). My only complaints were the pool area. Not only was the pool small, but no hot tub/Jacuzzi? Also, the changing rooms were under construction during our stay and we would have liked a mini fridge in the... more

“Definitely not a 4 star hotel.”

“Good location, you can walk to most things in Ottawa. Rooms are smaller and a bit noisy. washroom is like a closet and in need of a renovation. Minimal staff on duty when I was there (Sunday night), I guess that is justifiable.”

Feb Weekend

Great location. Had a great room. Loved the king sized bed and high floor. Glad that Tims was across the street so that we could get a reasonably priced breakfast.

“Very nice hotel in great location.”

“ We travel to Ottawa a couple of times a year and usually like to stay in the marketplace area for convenience to night life. Booked through Priceline a got the Marriott Downtown. I called the hotel to see if we could get moved to the Courtyard Marriott but it was booked. We were apprehensive but were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. We were first put in a room right next to five... more

nice and clean. my room even had an LCD TV. can't say that about any other hotel's i've stayed at recently.

Nice and clean without the seady feel that some other hotels in Ottawa have. This hotel is as good as the Lord Elgin.

“I suggest that Marriott install free wireless internet in the rooms as this is a standard in most hotels that I have stayed in and especially for a 4 star hotel. The chairs and sofas in the lobby is old and needs to be replaced. The beds were very comfortable in the room but the bathroom was pretty old for a 4 star.”

Nice place for the price

It was our 40th wedding anniversary, and we could not get king or queen size bed, only 2 double beds.We liked the location,though: two blocks away from the Parlament Hill, close enough to the Byward Market and other tourist attractions. Tremendous shopping Rideau Center is nearby too.

“Nice hotel.Pool was closed for two days due to clorine problem???Parking was a little pricey and out of the way.Restaurants very pricey and not kid friendly.But the guy at the desk ordered a great pizza for us one nite”

“Excellent location. Amazing family play rooms. Pool and gym seemed wonderful. Staff was very helpful.”

“Overall, nice, but does it deserve a 4 star? Not sure about that.”

“have stayed in about 20 marriot's in north america. This one by far is the worst of the lot. The room I got was the same as run of the mill 2 star hotels yet this Marriot is trying to pass as a 4 star. Not even close!”

“I would recommend the Marriott Hotel. The staff was very friendly. The room was very comfortable and spacious.”

“Was shocked that the rooms did not have free internet access nor a fridge. Was very disappointing, although staff made an effort to put us in a room with a fridge in the end.”

Excellent value in a beautiful city

Hotel was an excellent value, given that it was walking distance to Ottawa's downtown tourist attractions (Parliament, Rideau canal, museums, restaurants, open market, etc.). Staff was uniformly friendly and helpful. We ate at the Merlot revolving restaurant on the roof. It was a splurge for us, but we were rewarded with spectacular views of Ottawa, a good menu and excellent service from our... more

“We stayed 3 nights at the hotel, July 20-23rd. Great location and most of the staff was very good. Hotel is very clean and comfortable. But, we did have an unacceptable experience in 29th floor, rotating gourmet restaurant. The 6 of us went up with most wanting to order the advertised Rack of Lamb on menu. A menu also pasted on bottom floor and Rack of Lamb also advertised in the rooms. Upon... more

“The hotel was nice, staff was
pleasant and location great.”

“The hotel used to be a Ramada, I believe. It's been spruced up a bit but isn't up to Marriott standards. My room had a large flaw in the wall that had simply been wallpapered over. The desk setup is extremely poor for business travelers. It would have been difficult to position the TV to be viewed from the one armchair in the room. They've installed HD LCD TVs in the rooms but only have a... more

“Excellent location, easy check in and out, nice restaurant for breakfast, large, well appointed room and such a very comfortable bed. The only criticism I have is the silly one cup coffee maker.”

“Even though the hotel was full and extremely busy, the staff was excellent in it's attempt to satisfy all our needs.”

“Nice hotel. Room was not massive nor did it feel ultra luxurious, but it was pleasant. The location is great, walking distance to parliament and right in the downtown core. We didn't mind paying $17 for parking under the hotel, it is handy and it was only $17 for 24 hours.”

“As always, appreciate the Marriott bed/bedding. This particular Marriott is somewhat outdated (wallpaper, bathroom) compared with most we've stayed at recently although the large plasma TV was nice. We ate breakfast in the revolving restaurant on the 28th floor which was a bonus, as it was a beautiful, clear day and having the Parliament buildings as a backdrop was very special.”

“A bit of a disappointment as it was not on-par with what I consider a 4 star hotel. There was no hot tub and rooms were only average. But the location was very convienent.”

“The hotel itself was nice. I always try to avoid elevators, stairwells & ice machines - unfortunately our room door was directly across from the lobby of 5 elevators. You could hear people at all hours conversing.”

“Not good. Many other options. Stay away.”

“Good location, confusion finding public parking linked to the hotel.”

“Great Location, Nice eating establishment options in house and parking cost are a little high, $20.00 for all day in/out parking to not reasonable off season.”

“The hotel is a very basic offering. If you simply needed a clean place to lay your head at night, this is perfect. It's a solid 3-star property.”

“It was fine. Was simply missing the required amenities. The service was friendly but not as professional as expected.
