    40th anniversary getaway
    My only concern was that I was surprised how the sound carried in the old hotel from room to room. You could hear people in the next room talking very clearly and even make out words they were saying. At one point two screaming babies dampened our peaceful quality time. If you…

    Excellence!
    The hotel is so historic and beautiful. The staff were very attentive, friendly and welcoming. I loved the bath products, the scent lovely. Even our room had a subtle but not overpowering scent. The room decor was gorgeous and the bed and linens were heavenly. Our dining…

    I would like to make a comment regarding assistance from Alexandre. This lovely young man went beyond the Call of Duty to assist me while I was visiting a friend who was staying at the Chateau Laurier. My friends and I were so touched by his warm heartedness and problem solving…

    When will the construction end for the Parliament renovation? The construction and jack hammers banging sound can make relaxation a bit difficult at times if you have a Parliament view.
    This is a 10 year project or even decades. Not sure if the outside will be less time then inside will be less noisy.

    Are there still fall leaves late Oct (like Halloween time)?
    Hi, It depends on the weather and how far north you are going. The colors are pretty now. If you google Ontario Fall Colour Report you will see a website reporting the colors and they indicate now is a great time to see them and expecting to end over the next couple of weeks.

    Why does your Web site say nothinh about parking ?????????????? Where is it???? Hiw much is it??? Is it self park???( What are the other choices????
    There are also closer-by solutions, if you don't mind walking, they just didn't suit my needs. I rather not walk around Ottawa at night at all and getting driven from the airport the safest possible solution if you ask me. You get your equivalency value after a 7-8 nights with a Caddy ride, 3-4 nights with a cab ride; both round trip. I suggest you go read on the available lots near the castle. Doing so is why I went the airport route. It's a PITA but it is the best solution... plus you can get driven around town too; old city, it's mind boggling traffic in this town, much respect to the drivers.
