Liked: Cleanliness
The location is very good. In walkable distance to Parliment Hill, National Arts Center, ByWard market, and many restaurants. Parking is limited but we had issue. The bed was very comfortable. Staff very efficient and helpful. The hotel is an older, refurbished building. Only a few small negatives. The heat/AC did not work upon arrival, but it was fixed promptly. The loud noise it made though, kept me awake at night. The shower water pressure was very weak and rounded tub basin “slippy”. It was a very small room but location made up for lack of space.

I'd recommend this hotel to anyone who's visiting Ottawa and wants a place to stay in the downtown area. Convenient location. Really liked the fact that a lot of attractions/activities were only a short walk or taxi ride away! Only slight hiccup was that when I arrived I was asked to wait another 20 minutes before the room was ready which was a bit annoying after an 8hr trip, but didn't detract from the rest of the stay.

Utterly Incompetent, Dishonest, and Outdated This is hands down one of the most unprofessional, unfriendly, and incompetent hotel management teams I’ve ever dealt with. I booked a room at Arc for a long weekend. Weeks before my trip, I realized I should arrive a day earlier and leave a day earlier. Simple fix, right? Not at this place. Trying to modify my reservation or book an extra night through Expedia failed because the hotel’s setup only allowed a full cancellation (non-refundable) and a new booking. I reached out to both Expedia and the hotel — what followed was a cascade of messages and emais. Expedia kept telling me they “tried several times but the hotel refused to cooperate.” The hotel told me to have Expedia contact them (which they already had) and said they'd “try to accommodate” us. Meanwhile, they offered me to purchase an upgrade to "luxury king suite". Not a courtesy — just a shameless cash grab. In the final days before my trip, after yet another round of emails, the hotel promised to “get back to me in the morning” — and then simply ghosted me. What kind of hotel management disappears on a guest with a pending reservation issue days before arrival? It's not just unprofessional — it’s downright bizarre. I had to book an extra night at another hotel because Arc requires a minimum 2-night stay. When I arrived, the so-called “luxury king suite” was a claustrophobic, stale, tobacco-reeking cave. The AC was useless. I had to ask for another room. Never again.
