O'Brien Lake Tours and Activities

Excellent stay for Ottawa. It was our first time. My only issue is the parking. We were there 3 nights. The parking at the hotel is $60 Canadian dollars a day. For us it would have been $180. We parked in a public lot 4 blocks away. It cost us a total of $78. It was an easy walk to save $100. But a little disappointing the guests get gouged that much.

We opted for the Gold plan and loved it! Breakfast was included, small plate appetizers and canapés and then dessert served in an exclusive common room from 5:00. Excellent service. But the hotel needs some refurbishing and updating. The desk chair in our room was literally shredded. This is a premium property. A wonderful and historic and perfectly located hotel. The Fairmount needs to give it some love.

The room was spotless. Very large bathroom with tub and shower combo. Lots of water pressure to rinse long hair and plenty of hot water. The staff was amazing. Very helpful with every question asked. Samina (sorry about the spelling) was very welcoming and charming. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay.
