Lord Elgin Hotel
The room was perfect!!! The pool is great! But we were welcomed only in English (we are French Canadian) and it’s Ottawa, the capital of Canada . This city is supposed to be bilingual and this is a high quality hôtel, we expect bilingual staff at the réception. Not Even a « Bonjour ».

Young lady at the Front desk was outstanding! Very helpful with multiple issues. I was travelling alone with my 4 young grandchildren and she went out of her way to assist. Excellent service. I stay in Ottawa 4-5 times a year and will definitely be back.
