Absolutely superb. We've wanted to stay at the CL before, but never did. This time there was a good room rate and we jumped at it, then later upgraded to a room with a view of Parliament Hill. What a treat. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel, both of which were great. Waiters at both meals were pleasant and engaging. This was a great experience and we’ll do it again.

While the location and history of the building are amazing, the value for the money is not there. The room is very small and outdated, their was mold in the bathroom and hair from another guest. The room was very warm and no way of changing the temperature. Breakfast and valet is extremely expensive.
