- KKathryn King16/08/2024Amazing Wedding Venue with Top-Notch Service!Amazing Wedding Venue with Top-Notch Service!This was a fantastic place to stay. The room was big and had everything we could have wanted (smart TV with chromcast, USB chargers on lamps, nescafe coffee maker, BIG comfy bed and a nice shower). The lobby was stunning (we saw people taking wedding photos there!!) and they had games and amenities we didn't even get a chance to use, but it looked fun. Caleb at the front desk was SO helpful and he gave us top notch service. All in all, a really great stay!This was a fantastic place to stay.

- JJessica Van Vliet16/08/2024Mixed feelings on beautiful hotelMixed feelings on beautiful hotelReally beautiful hotel in a prime location. 5 minute walk to Parliament. Valet parking service is courteous (and expensive). Rooms are nice and clean and pretty big. Well equipped also, though the air conditioning didn’t seem to work in any of the rooms we had blocked out for a wedding. Staff were so polite and helpful! My only complaint is that the hotel is so loud. If you have a room on the street side, you will hear absolutely everything, including people talking in the sidewalk below.Really beautiful hotel in a prime location. 5 minute walk to Parliament.

While I was there, each time I was greeted warmly, the rooms were clean, and the plants + decorations were calming and beautiful. There are inner rooms that overlook the atrium/lobby and there are rooms that face the street. Both are great options!I've been to the Cocotte Bistro and Metcalfe Hotel 3 separate times, the 1st to go on a site visit, the 2nd time to do a creative wedding styled shoot (business), and the third time to attend an intimate event.
