This hotel is posh and updated, fancy-shmancy etc. But please listen to all the complaints that things are way over-priced at this hotel. It is unbelievable what they charge for even a glass of wine at the bar! (two couples ordered a glass of wine each, 4 glasses cost $58 plus tip!!!) I have eaten at the Perspectives restaurant a few times, and I have had a drink/bite to eat and listened to jazz music in the bar called "Options". Very nice decor, but the excessive cost is not worth the experience. The service is average at best, and has been very poor at Perspectives on occasion. The bathrooms in the lobby area were filthy and dirty this past week when we went to the bar Options. For such a 'classy-looking' hotel, one would expect that toilet seats would be clean...they were not, nor were the sinks.
We have never stayed at the hotel overnight as we live close by -- we have only gone to the hotel for dinner/lunch/brunch and to meet friends. So despite the fact that I cannot speak to the rooms at this hotel, it is not a place that I would recommend to anyone based on my 4-5 visits to the premises...for the prices you pay, there are much better options in the Ottawa area.
