Holiday Inn Ottawa Dwtn - Parliament Hill, an IHG Hotel

Overall stay wasn’t bad - parking garage is dangerous it’s the same entrance for exit & enter so if someone else is coming while you want to exit sometimes you have to back up two parking levels. For the cost of $30 parking per day you’re better off parking at the lot across from the hotel to avoid the headache of getting in and out. It’s close to places, but not close enough so if you aren’t a walker i’d suggest taking a hotel closer to the hill. Hotel rooms are small but that’s what to expect in a room downtown, they are decently clean. Room keys stopped working well before checkout time, while technology does glitch it’s tough when the parking garage has little service to call someone for help to enter the elevator back up to the room. Safety precautions taken by the hotel included needing a hotel room key to get to your floor, which was greatly appreciated. While service was pretty good I would say - I was confused as to why the receptionist was wearing pink sweat pants and had headphones around her neck while working.

The Holiday Inn Ottawa Downtown - Parliament Hill is situated in a highly convenient location, west of Parliament Hill and close to the financial district. Having stayed there multiple times, I recently decided to opt for the Holiday Inn Express closer to the airport due to its cleanliness and lack of parking charges.One aspect to note is that parking at the Holiday Inn downtown is limited and comes at an additional cost on top of the room fees. This can be a downside for guests who are driving to the hotel. However, the rooms themselves are standard Holiday Inn quality, providing a comfortable stay without any major issues.One area where the hotel falls short is the size of the gym, which is incredibly small. It can be suitable if you're in dire need of a workout, but for those looking for a more comprehensive fitness experience, it may not meet expectations.On the positive side, the staff at the hotel are generally friendly and contribute to a hospitable environment throughout the stay. They are attentive and responsive to guest needs, adding a touch of warmth to the overall experience.It's worth mentioning that breakfast is not included at this hotel, so guests should be aware of that when planning their meals for the day. Families, in particular, might find the Holiday Inn Express on the east side of Parliament Hill to be a better option, as it offers a complimentary breakfast option that can be convenient and cost-effective.In conclusion, the Holiday Inn Ottawa Downtown - Parliament Hill boasts a prime location and provides standard Holiday Inn rooms for a comfortable stay. However, the limited and paid parking, small gym, and lack of included breakfast may be factors to consider when deciding on accommodation. For those who prioritize a complimentary breakfast and seek a slightly different experience, exploring the Holiday Inn Express on the east side of Parliament Hill could be a worthwhile alternative.

Nice hotel, restaurant on site, this hotel’s elevators are VERY slow- do yourself the favour and ask for a lower room and use the steps. pet friendly but apparently my dog was barking when I was out so a room attendant followed me and witnessed and the dog wasn’t barking. Safe indoor parking, breakfast in a private restaurant for a fee. I would stay here again.
