This was my second time visit to westin Ottawa and i didn’t like it much. House keeping always left behind bedding and garbage. Some of the staff members at breakfast seemed to be doing you a favour by serving you. I had to pay extra for the room but last time there was no extra charges. Overall i didn’t like it much and would explore more options in my next visit to Ottawa
