Top hotels in Centretown West
Lord Elgin Hotel
The room was perfect!!! The pool is great! But we were welcomed only in English (we are French Canadian) and it’s Ottawa, the capital of Canada . This city is supposed to be bilingual and this is a high quality hôtel, we expect bilingual staff at the réception. Not Even a « Bonjour ».
