The room was modern and perfect for our quick stay. The food was also decent, but we were hoping for at least a protein like eggs or cheese in the breakfast selection. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we got a deal at an affordable price. We will surely recommend this place to our friends who wants a quick and accessible tour in Downtown, Ottawa.

Lobby, breakfast area, and gym appeared very new and clean. The rooms were also very clean, but it seemed like some appliances had been through some use. Not a problem though, everything still functioned well. In the kitchen portion of the room, dishwasher pods, sponges, and soap are provided. Basic utensils (and more) are also provided. Overall, this place was a great value. Cheaper than other hotels in the area but very nice.

We booked a room for two nights indicating clearly that there would be two people staying. We were given a room with only one chair and enough coffee for one person. There were no drawers to put our things and only a standing rack in the corner big enough for two winter coats and two sweaters. There was no direct line to the reception. There was no way to even leave a suitcase open somewhere as there was no space to circulate. There were no privacy curtains. If you wanted to change, you had to close the blinds and turn on the lights. At night, it was impossible to sleep due to some alarm type device that shone blue light through the room. The heater made so much noise, we actually thought that there was an animal trapped in the walls. If we wanted to speak to them we had to make a long distance call from our out of town phone. No room service for three days. All this, we were willing to ignore. What did not go over at all was being woken up at 4 am on the first night to the odour of marijuana coming from an adjacent room. The odour was so strong it woke us up. It happened again the next morning when we went to breakfast. We spoke to the people at reception who didn’t do anything about it despite us telling them to go up and check (since it was still going on). We had the same experience the following night despite our complaints. As we asked for a refund, we were told by the person at the front desk that they would talk to their manager all the while printing out our receipt

Key code on the doors vs traditional electronic card felt like i was staying in a place that rents the room by the hour. Heater could not get the room above 70 degrees and I ran it all day and night.

The staff were wonderful. The suite was clean. Where they could do much better is the continental breakfast - it was not well thought out in terms of guests with any dietary restrictions: Available were one type of muffin - chocolate, fruit turnovers also 1 type only, There were no cereals, toast or bagels as options. There were a few low quality yoghurt options and a few bananas, apples and oranges.

We needed a place overnight since our heater broke at -38 in the late afternoon. We were very happy how fast we and affordable we could get a room. It was really clean and didn't need to worry about anything is the 1 bedroom suite we got. The staff was really friendly and the place was very nice all together.

Arlo had just reopened under Best Western when we stayed. We were in town for a funeral but we were also walking distance to Winterlude, the canal and any other amenity or activity we could want. We were upgraded to a beautiful suite at their suggestion, the gracious hotel manager even took our bags up to our room with us. Rooms are well appointed, stylish, clean. Huge games room in the basement that we didn’t use but checked out. Would definitely come back with our kids. Grab and go breakfast, staff always smiling, great music playing every time we came in and out. Cannot recommend enough. Just the upgrade the old Sonder needed. Thank you Arlo! We will be back.
