Kanata Centrum Shopping Centre

Excellent and attentive reception staff arranging to extend our room unexpectedly. Very helpful maid service happily provided extra towels and toiletries. We had a clean comfortable room with microwave and fridge. It was very quiet because we were next to the pool, which is quite a soundproof area. I appreciated the very good ergonomic desk chair and reliable wifi while working. I enjoyed the coffee and tea station, especially the the iced lemon water over our 4 day stay. Breakfast was from 6:30-9:30: simple self-serve, but plentiful, with hot scrambled eggs, sausages, waffle maker, bread and bagels, cereals, fruit and yogurt. And constant good coffee, thank goodness! The hot-tub and fitness centre are a good size and basic, but clean and in good shape. Lots of families enjoyed the pool over this hot July week, but it never seemed crowded. The sound was well contained. We were in the room next door to the pool and fitness area, and it was extremely quiet for us all week. They have a good little business centre with seperate meeting rooms, but we weren't there for business. It appeared they could accommodate small workshops, board meetings, etc... Plenty of free well-lit parking right up front and along the side entrances. The front is nicely kept, but exterior back parking lot is unkempt, with a pile of old furniture and a mattress to complete the vibe. Likely waiting for garbage pick-up? The location is handy, next to Food Basics, Walmart, shops, 5 min to hospital

On a business trip, great stay.
