“Dissappointed, underwhelming. Bad Experience overall”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Overall we were dissappointed with our stay in Ottawa.

Check-in. As a platinum member we are used to being treated well. We were an inconvience to the person checking us in, she had to get off the phone to help us.
Despite me giving her my Platinum card there was no recogniion of it. We weren't given the choice of a check-in amentiy or told anything. She just handed our room key and said, elevators are over there.
I persisted further asking about our check-in amenity. Was told points would be added to my account - guess that was my choice huh?
I then had to ask about the club lounge, late checkout, and other amenities. She really didn't want to provide anything aside from what I asked for.

The room (1401) was dated as many have said on here. There was wood paneling on the wall. The bed was comfortable but that's about it.

The only highlight of the hotel would be the Club Lounge. It was nice to be able to go there to get some appetizers at night and breakfast in the morning.

Even when checking out, we weren't asked how our stay was, thank us or anything. They took the key and said, Ok, you're all set.

We ended up fogetting a shirt when we checked out. I phoned several times the next day as we were still in Ottawa and could have come and got it if they found it. They kept transferring me to the lost and found, which never answered the phone and I left a message to call me.

They did call me, after we left Ottawa the next day. They wanted to know if they should hold onto it until my next visit.....No, I will not be back. This has just solidified the fact that the next time I am in Ottawa I will be staying at The Westin. They always treat me well there. I wish we had stayed there instead.

As a loyal Starwood member, I am completely underwhelmed by this hotel. I can understand when things are dated and need to be refreshed, but the service here, even for their highest loyalty member just plain sucked.

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else. The Westin is much nicer and service much better.

“Love Starwood Hate This Hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Tired hotel with a horrible parking situation. I needed quick access to my car as I was travelling solo and on business and would need to grab things from there. The ONLY parking option provided is to pay $25 for valet.

Not worth it. I will never stay in Starwood in this city.

Room Tip: higher floors less traffic sounds

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations. As in most cities, parking is at times a challenge due traffic and limited space. We believe that providing our guests with valet service enables us to make the best of these challenges. It is likely that you already know this but calling before you need the vehicle often saves time.
We would appreciate you giving us a call to tell you us more about your specific situation and your stay in general.

Warm regards

“Consistently Good Stays at the Sheraton Ottawa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I'm a frequent traveller to Ottawa and a SPG Platinum member. I typically stay at the Sheraton Ottawa for it's proximity to my office and my clients. Each and every week the people are friendly, rooms clean and the lounge delivers a great continental breakfast.

The room service/restaurant is also reasonably priced and the food is quite good.

The only downside to this hotel is that the furnishings are getting a little dated in the rooms. While they have the LCD TVs and the Sweet Sleeper beds the bathrooms and furnishings are getting a little dated.

That being said for the rates you typically get for these rooms and the location you can't beat the Sheraton.

“Great location, decent club lounge”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

The lobby in this hotel is practically non-existent. The fitness room and pool are well equipped, bright and spacious. The club lounge is pleasant and the continental breakfast is fine. The rooms are not luxurious but decent and the television is small for the room size and hard to see over the sleigh bed but the bed is comfortable. The bathroom is small. Service was pleasant. Overall expensive for An Ottawa hotel.

Hello Carole,

Thank you for your comments regarding your experiences at Sheraton Ottawa Hotel.

I am pleased that you've had the opportunity to visit our redesigned Core Performance Fitness Center, and recently upgraded Club Lounge.

I notice that you stayed on a Club Guestroom floor, so included in your Room rate was access to our Club lounge with evening hors d'oeuvres, and Full Continental Breakfast in the Morning. These upgraded guestrooms do have sleigh beds, and you do have to sit up on the bed to watch your favorite programs on the 37 inch LCD.

We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back to Sheraton Ottawa Hotel.

Warm Regards,
Rob Roy

“Convenient location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I attended business meetings and stayed in the hotel. The lobby is very small, you can't park your own car - valet parking only, the food provided at the meetings was okay - although the cookies and squares were pretty good, My room was large, comfortable and clean. The hotel is very close to many museums and other attractions, good restaurants, shopping, the Rideau canal and parliament buildings - walking distance. Nothing really unique here - plain but convenient.

Hi MarvelousGreenMtnman,

What a unique user name! Thanks for posting your comments regarding your recent experience at Sheraton Ottawa Hotel.

I have to admit, I am a huge fan of the Chocolate Chip cookies, and after a couple I usually take a quick afternoon walk past Sparks Street mall to the Parliament buildings, then back past the Rideau Canal. It's a brisk 15 minutes!

We look forward to welcoming you again soon!

All the Best,
Rosanna
