ANDAZ OTTAWA BYWARD MARKET, BY HYATT
"The location was great and the room was clean and spacious enough. But the parking options are poor because there is no parking on site. The only options are at least a couple blocks away and didn’t feel very secure or safe. The rooftop bar and lounge were closed for a private event during my stay. ..."
