Nice Place to Stay
We enjoyed our stay here and the staff are excellent. The couch in the room was dirty so either clean or replace it. Very Spacious room, they only have 2 handicap parking spots which doesn't seem right for such a large hotel. It would be nice if they offered free continental BF.
Friendly staff upon entering, smooth and easy check in. Hotel nice and clean. Room was nice size and clean. Only downfall was bathroom, for a newer hotel ceiling was cracking, and shower floor made loud noise, like the pipe underneath wasn’t properly installed. All in all great stay
This was the first time my husband stayed at the Sandman with me. His reaction was; "Let's always stay here when in Ottawa, there is no reason to even look anywhere else"
Property is in a good location especially if you are looking for restaurants and other amenities close by.
The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The room was perfect with the exception of the bed and pillows. The bed was a little too hard for my liking and the pillows were also not my typical type of pillow. That being said, I'm just being a picky traveller:)
Plenty of space in our room - spotlessly clean and quiet
