Armand, Ottawa

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Central but noisy. Situated in downtown, close to several shops, buses, subway and some attractions but the car honking and people talking or hollering kept me up until I put in my earplugs. The walls are thin as well and you'll hear noisy, inconsiderate guests in the hallway. Otherwise the room is quite comfortable and clean. TV channels are all Spanish and low bit rate quality. Breakfast is quite excellent. Wifi is reasonably fast. Overall I recommend, despite the above mentioned drawbacks.
