Top Sandy Hill Hotel Reviews

Alt Hotel Ottawa Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Proximity to the airport, food was excellent, rooms are clean, spacious and modern. Two minor things that could be improved. Should have a lounge chair, not just the desk chair. Not really comfortable, and the shower is very slippery, especially when there is soap and conditioner on the floor. Otherwise, highly recommend."
