Cartier Place Suite Hotel
Good value. This property is within easy walking distance of parliament, downtown and byward market. Also less a km from Museum of Nature. There were sports teams of kids when we were there so pool and sauna were busy. Lots of great dining very close by. Staff was very friendly and did their best ...
