"Impressive collection from Canadian artists I was not familiar with. Good modern art collection as well."

"Great view of parliament and area."

"4 rotating spits full of meat. Good looking food all around. Not the freshest decor, but I barely looked up from my food. Hot peppers are a plus. There's a gazillion shawarma places in Ottawa."

"Go get mutton biryani."

"South side of hotel is only marginally quieter of jet noise. Working balconies. No HDTV. Hotel appears worn."

"Lunch only (get there before 2:30pm sharp). You can get 3 meats on your dinner plate. Don't miss double breaded okra. This sets the bbq high mark for me."
