We had a wonderful time staying at the Arc hotel! Conveniently located near all the sights, restaurants and shopping, we parked our car and walked everywhere for our 3 day visit in Ottawa. The staff was some of the most welcoming and friendly people we have encountered in all our travels. Our room was clean, well appointed and quiet. The hotel breakfast was delicious, and we enjoyed the lounge in the evening for a cocktail before returning to our room. We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book here again.
