"In the heart of the business district, Alt Ottawa stands out for doing things simply and well. Rooms are bright, uncluttered, and well-equipped, with floor-to-ceiling windows, rainfall showers, and high-definition TVs. ALTCETERA, the all-day café and bar, offers easy meals and better-than-expected coffee, while a 24-hour gym handles off-hours workouts. Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and light rail stations are all within walking distance. For travelers who don’t need turn-down service or lobby theatrics, this is the kind of place that makes getting in and out of town feel refreshingly easy." - Tablet Hotels
