From the very first encounter at the check-in desk, we were greeted with a smile and outstanding service. When we went to park the car in the garage the ticket didn't work (barcode) and we had to circle around the block and go back in. The same woman who checked us in promptly created a new parking card with apologies. My husband left me with the luggage cart while he went to park the car. I went ahead up to the room and proceeded to unload the cart. A knock at the door revealed the woman from the front desk with 2 bottles of water and an apology for the inconvenience with parking. I thanked her and tried to tip her and she wouldn't take it, saying she just didn't want our first experience at the hotel to start the way it did. Wow! It was a small gesture but a big message. To be honest, there were more issues throughout our stay with the parking pass, but overall the hotel was great, clean, beds comfortable, bathroom well appointed, and the breakfast buffet extraordinary! We will be repeat customers, thank you.

We stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Ottawa Downtown while traveling with our two dogs. Before arriving, I tried calling the hotel, and although the wait times were very long, once I got through the staff were helpful and kind. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and throughout our stay the staff were genuinely welcoming. The location is a mix of pros and cons: on the one hand, it’s within walking distance of many attractions in Ottawa, but on the other, the area is heavily populated with individuals struggling with homelessness, substance use, or mental health issues. Walking our dogs late at night felt unsafe. Parking was one of the biggest challenges—it was overcrowded, and if you have a larger vehicle, finding a spot can be extremely difficult. Breakfast was just average; you can definitely find better options nearby in town. On a positive note, the bar and patio experience stood out. We brought our dogs with us, and the chef kindly prepared special shredded chicken just for them. The server took wonderful care of both us and our dogs, creating such a warm, memorable moment. Overall, the hotel itself is clean, dog-friendly, and staffed with truly kind people, but the parking and surrounding area are definite drawbacks.
