Booked a double room from priceline (not bidding...) When checking in the fine looking young lady asked if I want a double or single bed. One was enough for me, I thought. Bad bad mistake, she put me on worst room 1604 on that hotel. First of all, I noticed the door could not be properly locked and the room... more

Took a last minute trip to Ottawa on 6/21-6/22/08. Used Priceline and got an $80 rate for the Crowne Plaza. I was a bit concerned based on the recent reviews, but had no difficulties with my stay. I took the route 97 bus from the airport to the Albert/Kent stop on the Transitway (2 bus tickets @ 95 cents each--buy... more

I should have paid attention to the previous review! I checked in on the evening of June 1, and the room did feel warm and humid at that time. But it wasn't until a couple of days later that the hotel finally admitted (by leaving a letter on the desk in the room) that the air conditioning wasn't working in... more

What blew me away (and it does for the Marriotts and Fairmonts) is how a business hotel charges $10 to $15 per day for internet access in the hotel room! When you get it for... more

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Ottawa for a conference last week and was so impressed that I had to write about it! The staff at the hotel was some of the most professional and friendly that I have ever seen! From the front desk to the restaurant to housekeeping, I was always greeted with a friendly smile and... more

The Crowne Plaza is situated in the business district of Ottawa and when we arrived on a Sunday it was pleasantly quiet around the hotel. We were greeted at the door by a delightful young guy who took our luggage and waited for us to check in offering us some advice on what to do in the city, helped us... more
