Stayed for two nights at this supposedly 4-star hotel (It is not or should not be; better spend your money somewhere else!). It has 8 plus floors but only has 2 elevators for guests (seriously?!). One of them was already down when I checked in. The second one broke down when I checked out. There was no clear instructions on how to access the stairs and get to the lobby. Thanks to that, I had to drag all my stuff down the stairs directionless and missed my train. Imagine people with mobility issues having to do that. Staff offered no help. Complained to reception and the guy at the reception said “beyond my control.” Every sentence started with “unfortunately…” in a passive aggressive tone. Zero customer service skills. How can you run a hotel with no backup plans for elevators? If it was part of regular maintenance, no notices were given. This place is deeply disappointing. If you see this review, I suggest you NOT book it. There are plenty thoughtful and well-maintained hotels in Ottawa and trust me, this one absolutely does not deserve your money.

The hotels are lovely and the rooms are great. It was a good deal for the money spent. I am disappointed that I thought I was to have a $25 spend benefit towards breakfast or parking because I am Expedia gold, but nothing was offered, and I did not notice it till after we left.

Loved my stay at the Metcalfe and will definitely stay again next time I'm in Ottawa. Wonderful staff, clean facilities and a great French restaurant for both breakfast, lunch or dinner. Comfortable rooms and beds, and very conveniently located.
