Overall score5.0/ 5
Would highly recommend the experience of staying at the Lord Elgin hotel, for the historical elegance, great service, top notch food service very comfortable rooms. After booking rooms for two parties and then having to had another night in another room, the desk agent re configured my booking to have our rooms beside each other and make the one booking in one room. It made for a very easy arrangement with our extended family.

"Classic Charming Hotel"
Overall score4.0/ 5
Stayed in Ottawa overnight to see a show. The Lord Elgin is a classic hotel with a charming decor allowing guests to get glimpses back to the hotel's heyday. It is our default choice when attending any event at the National Arts Centre which is literally across the street, allowing us to walk to the events without concern for parking or hired services. The walk-in shower was fantastic, large and spacious. Service requests were all handled immediately without the need to ask a second time. I highly appreciate when requests are immediately addressed and do not need to be asked for numerous times. All of the staff was polite, friendly and cordial. I make a point to acknowledge each and every staff member I pass, thanking them for their work and service. The property was very clean and well maintained. As always we will be happy to return to the Lord Elgin on future visits to Ottawa.

This year I used your site to try to find a different and more reasonably priced location. Not only did I find a fantastic hotel in a great new location, I save $100 per night over last year's room fee." J.F. - San Francisco, CA
