My wife and I recently spent a weekend at the Ottawa Marriott Courtyard on Dalhousie St. Upon arriving, our early check in request was available and we were given a welcome gift. We had a lovely room, excellent service from a very caring, friendly staff. The location in the heart of the Byward Market is ideal. It is within walking... More

My family spent 2 days at the Courtyard Marriott Ottawa and we had the best experience. The hotel was clean, and the location was perfect, as it was close to everything downtown. The hotel staff was courteous and very attentive. My daughter goes to school in Ottawa, so this will be the hotel of choice from now on when I... More

Love the location. It is in the middle of everything in downtown Ottawa. Didn't know what we were in for when we arrived late Friday night. Crowds of young people were everywhere dressed for clubbing. Well, duh, that's because we were located where things were happening and hopping! We enjoyed our rooms, the lounge areas in the lobby, the nice... More

As previous reviewers have said, this hotel is perfectly located to visit the Byward Market area and also the National Gallery. A bit pricey compared with similar chains (Best Western, Comfort, etc.) but I imagine that's because of the location. However, the room faced a concrete wall and the heat could not be turned off. Of course if you're staying... More

This hotel is in the middle of the action in Ottawa, right next to the Farmer's Market. Followed the advise from previous reviews and requested a room facing the inner courtyard; no problems with noise at all at night. The only two real negatives were the price, $189 (seemed a little high for this type of hotel), and a strong... More

I stayed at the Courtyard for a couple of nights in October. The most obvious plus point is the location, right smack bang in Byward Market, which meant a five minute walk to the beaver tail stand! My room was of a good size, and faced outwards. Despite previous reviewers comments, I experienced no problems with noise from outside. Complimentary... More

Stayed at the Courtyard Marriott on Dalhousie st in Ottawa from November 29 to december 2 2011 as I was attending a 3 days meeting. The hotel is a 15$ taxi-ride (about 10-15 min max) from the train station. The hotel is right downtown, next to Byward market and walking distance from parliament, National Gallery of Canada .

I spent 4 days in this hotel during a business trip. As most reviewers have written, it is conveniently located at a few steps from the Byward Market and amidst many restaurant and shops. Apart from this, in my opinion the Courtyard Ottawa can be ranked at the mid-low tier for a three-star hotel: my room was at the ground... More
