The deluxe double room was spacious and clean. The second washroom was very helpful. Great view of the Ottawa River and Quebec. Location is convenient, walking distance to Parliament, By-Ward Market, other restaurants and museums, and Quebec. However the thermostat was hard to use. Overall, great stay and I would stay again.
