Embassy Hotel and Suites

Our family loves Embassy Suites Hotel - but I discovered that this hotel has no connection with that Hilton chain. So my error. This hotel was obviously a converted appartment building, with two elevators, which per a sign have been under renovation for almost two months. So only one was working. The suite/appartment was clean & comfortable, but despite two double beds & pull-out couch, had only three bath towels. There was a room service menu, but we found out that their restaurant AND louge were closed from Dec. 24th to Jan. 1st.. So the amednities were not as billed and the hotel was overpriced, in my opinion. We should have stayed at the Holiday Inn next door.

Check-in was a breeze. Room was surprisingly large and clean. Internet was adequate. My biggest complaint is that I had to pay for parking.

Great hotel for the price. Location was perfect - right downtown. The room was nice and large, the staff were friendly, but the bed and pillow were not particularly comfortable. The heater/AC is centrally controlled so that's kind of annoying. For downtown, 10$ per night parking is great. Overall great value.

Excellent location right downtown. Close to a wide range of restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Hotel is a bit 'outdated' and slightly rundown but not to the point that I was unsatisfied. Staff was friendly and helpful overall - they even gave me an upgraded room upon check-in. Room was comfortable and clean, and very spacious with a full kitchen. A great setup to stay for an extended period of time. I was disappointed that the computer in the business center was broken, but they do offer free internet if you bring your laptop.

Perfect location and great price!

Compared to many hotels in this price range, Embassy Suites rooms are very spacious. The living area in particular afforded lots of room. Also compared to other properties, cost of wireless internet and parking was quite resonable. The hotel is located within a block of the Rideau Canal on one side and Elgin Street on the other, with its great selection of dining and entertainment options. A short 10 min. walk gets you to Rideau Centre shopping and the Byward Market.

The Emabassy Suite is extremely good value for money in that it offers full suites for the price of a mid-level hotel in a reasonable location. It gave me the chance to bring the family along on a business trip and everyone had a good time.

While this is an older hotel, it offers good, large, well appointed rooms, with reasonable kitchenette amenities. My stay was for two weeks, and in that time the only concern I had was the unpredictability of hot water in the morning. While there was always hot water at the beginning of a shower, depending on the time, the hot water could fade to cool. All that said, given the price, good value for money.

Nice place, large rooms. Bar and restaurant closed for holidays was a disappointment but nice places within walking distance.

The Embassy Suites in Ottowa proved a suprisingly satisfying blind choice from afar. It proved easily reachable from the interstate highway(we were driving)and to the things my daughter, her husband, and I were interested in. Pariament Hill and the festivities along the Ottowa River were within reasonable walking distance, any number of affordable and interesting restaurants and pubs were located within 3 to 5 blocks (Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Lebanese, Indian, Cajun, Italian, etc.), and the street life was colorful and diverting. The rooms were quite comfortable with refrigerator, coffeemaker, and microwave so it was possible to pick up food from nearby delis and dine in quite satisfactorily; the bachelor suite was large enough to be comfortable for a childless couple, and the other suite would comfortably accomodate parents and at least two children. The first night there was a disconcerting humming, but when the unseasonably hot weather broke the next day the hum also disappeared (I infer it was overloaded air-conditioning).
