Perfect accommodation for simple travel. Not paying big prices for ammenities which I never use (huge lobbies, fountains, pools, conference rooms, etc). Simple, clean, efficient rooms complete with kitchenettes (saves breakfast and dinner $$$$ - don't have to have "take out" all the time) Great staff - helpful and informative. more

This hotel appears to be a "Mom & Pop" operation - the owners live on the second floor, if I'm not mistaken. You'll want to adjust your expectations accordingly - the front desk will not be staffed all night (and occasionally may be unstaffed if they step away to deal with something.) On the other hand, you have a level... more

I was taking a train to Montreal and then planned to drive to Ottawa, where I had a room booked at the Cardinal Suites on Merivale. The train was five hours late getting to Montreal, so I tried called the hotel to say I would be arriving late. No answer. I tried a few more times, and still nobody picked... more

The place we stayed at on Laurier Drive (they have several locations) was below average to say the least. The guy told us when we picked up the key, that the place was, "the cream of the crop." When we got there, we immediately saw it was far from. The location is not bad, but is by no means, "downtown"... more

This is my second four-month interval stay with Cardinal Suites. Last summer was my first time away from my own province so I was nervous and confused having to leave my small hometown and move to a city. Cardinal Suites was the best decision I ever made! The staff were nothing short of remarkable. Me and my partner felt comfortable... more

I stayed at the Cardinal Suites from Feb 2006 to Feb 2007 while working on a short term basis in Ottawa. I can say with certainty that I don't think I would have survived being away from home if not for the homelike experience at the Cardinal Suites and the excellent staff. Their philosophy is that "you dont need to... more

I could not wait to leave this dump of a hotel! We made a terrible mistake by booking for a month through the Internet after having made a few calls. The staff sounded OK at first, but the second they charged our credit card (without telling us), all the niceness disappeared. They lied just about every thing they had promised.... more

I accompanied my fiance to Ottawa while he was on business for 6 weeks. The hotel staff were amazing! Very helpful with everything. They knew the best restaurants, shopping centers, attractions etc. I was hoping to find a part-time job to occupy my time and they were even able to direct me as to where I should apply. Within a... more
