I was happy with my stay here. Location is great, service is amazing, the bed was super comfortable, and breakfast was really good too. It’s a little dated but I was very satisfied with the value of this hotel.

My business stay at the Arc hotel was very convenient for me as everything was within walking distance. And the avocado toast at their restaurant was excellent. I would stay here again if I were to visit Ottawa again in the near future.
