Very basic room. Nothing special but not terrible. Bad water pressure. Shower water only got warm not hot. There’s better value for your dollar. Honestly.

The location is convenient, and the hotel is clean. The staff I interacted with were helpful and pleasant. The front steps might be a problem for some people. The restaurant is very nice, but there are no vegan options. Also, sometimes it took a while for staff to notice there were customers waiting.

There was stains on the comforter on the bed, the bathroom was dirty the shelf above the sink was dirty, around the bottom of the toliet had stains, the bathroom slider door was covered in glitter and hand prints along with toothpaste. For the price of their rooms it’s not worth it the room even had a weird smell the minute you walked it. I will never go there again nor would I recommend it.

Please ensure that new unused toiletries are left in the rooms before new guests arrive. I was disappointed to find a have used tube of lotion. Also, let's get rid of the mold that is harbouring in the sink. It's not directly visible, but is very visible when you look at the mirror.

We stayed at the Arc from Nov. 15th to the 16th. Hassan, the concierge (I believe) was the highlight of our stay. What a delight! He has excellent customer service, great sense of humour, so polite and pleasant. He was incredibly helpful as well. I had no cash on me and we were behind schedule for leaving, I wanted to leave a cash tip for him because he left a lasting impression to me and my family. I feel like you don't see service like this or personality in staff like this in many places these days. I'll be back to Ottawa and will make a special stop to make sure I deliver on that tip! Thank you Hassan! Great job at representing Arc Hotel!

Pros: location was amazing (walking distance to everything! 5-10 mins! Awesome!) and their on site parking feels really safe as underground and private (you need a special code to access). Loved that we could park early as well before checkin to do some sights and shopping beforehand. Hotel looked kept up well and the room was decent size for one night. It looked clean, with just a few areas needing touchups. Staff super friendly and helpful. Cons: water pressure for shower was really low. But I think the major point to consider is if you’re a light sleeper: you can always hear when someone is taking a shower or if doors are opening/closing. At one point, there was 5 mins of constant opening and closing of doors that we thought there was an emergency going on but if was just regular traffic/ cleaning services. They def need to up the budget on noise reduction/doora as I probably will choose another hotel next time if we stayed overnight again. We had a good stay but that definitely made our stay rating more adequate than good
