I was fortunate to be booked into one of the newly renovated suites. Large rooms with living room, dining room, full kitchen, large bathroom and a king size bed and a separate bedroom. Full utensils, pots, pans, dishes were available in the kitchen. The suite also provided me with a starter kit of coffee, milk and sugar. Understanding that this is a newly renovated room, I did mention to front desk that there were a few small details that needed to be corrected for me to change it from a four-star to five-star rating. There was grout on the countertop that hadn't been removed silicon from the shower that was still on the glass. There were respects of paint on the tiles in the bathroom. All minor but for a newly renovated room they overlooked the fine details. The Rita Mall and the shot center are in close proximity to the hotel along with many attractions All within walking distance.. there is a men's shelter close by and many of the And many of them hang around the streets and sidewalks around the hotel. At no time did I feel threatened but women may want to take precaution and walk in pairs during the evening. As for the cleanliness of the hotel, due to the fact that they're going through renovations, there was plaster dust in many areas..

Dear Linda, Thank you for your review. As you may not have been aware, the parking garage next to the hotel is not owned by Les Suites.

You just wanted to cancel. Following your departure, our Housekeeping Team fully inspected the suite and no issues were noted. We hope to host you in future.

Parking was $33 plus tax which seems a bit high. There is no hot tub as was advertised which is part of the reason we booked here. The pool area didn’t smell great so the kids didn’t want to go in.

Suites are a good size, and the "modern" ones nicely renovated. The sofa bed was worn out, however. The main downside to our stay was the condo construction nearby that started very early on Sunday morning and continued each day. Not the hotel's fault, but when we asked if we could move to a room further away no one got back to us.

Stayed for 3 nights and was lucky to get one of the newly renovated suites. Lovely space to spread out with my daughter while we were visiting. Everything in the unit was new and clean and we appreciated the extra space. The downsides were that the queen sized mattress was not at all comfortable—hard as a rock. Also, there seemed to be no soundproofing and we could hear dogs barking, kids screeching and lots of talking from the other units. Often it seemed that they were just in the hallway, but when I looked out, there was no one there. The hotel was also renovating other floors and the garage apparently (I didn’t find this out until we checked in) and the jackhammers started around 8:00 am and ran all day. Overall—the location was good (although it has been many years since I was in Ottawa and I was quite surprised by the increase in homelessness in the downtown and the pervasive smell of weed). The newly renovated unit was very nice, but the lack of soundproofing and hard mattresses would be reasons for me not to come back.

Dear Tracy, Thank you for your kind words regarding our spacious and clean Modern Suites! Guest comfort is always paramount at Les Suites. Mattress preference is a personal choice and I am disappointed that you did not enjoy our pillow-top mattresses as the majority of our guests do. If ever a guest feels that their mattress is uncomfortable, extra mattress pads can be placed on the mattress. The company which owns the public parking garage, which is 4 floors under our lobby, is currently renovating and noise can be heard through the day and I do apologize. As many downtown cities, we have some socio-economic challenges however we are still a very safe city. It would be a pleasure to host you and your daughter again on your next stay in downtown Ottawa!
