Advantages: A Suite of Rooms to spread out in without an exhorbitant price tag Disadvantages: None
...We have stayed at the 'Minto' twice and have booked another visit for later this year. We have always enjoyed our stays there (hence the re-book) and are especially looking forward to this year as it has recently been completely re-furbished. The pictures on the website look great. We find that, as a family of five, with three children suitehotels are definitely the way to go. We appreciate having the extra space, our own lounge, kitchen and laundry room. Our children were quite young when we first went (the youngest was only just one) and it was so much more relaxing not to be confined to just one or two adjoining rooms. We always prefer breakfasting in our room so the kitchen is great to have and the children have space to spread out in the lounge, watch a little tv, even play with some toys if they are still young enough...

Advantages: Location, size of rooms. Disadvantages: Smokiness
...8 of us stayed at the Capital Hill Hotel+Suites in Sept 2006.
If location is what you want, then this is a winner-the hotel is as centrally located as you are going to get, plus the bus from the Train Station stops outside. A few minutes walk south down elgin street is the popular bars/pubs area popular with the Ottawa University students. To the other side of the hotel was the historical/government buildings, and sightseeing tours. The main eating+drinking area (Murray St and around) was about 4-5mins
The outside of the hotel is a little shabby apart from the entrance area, but the reception area is very nicely presented and welcoming. Theres a small shop in the entrance which sells souveniers and selected food items (good for breakfast if you dont want to eat the hotels breakfast). Theres also a comedy club in the basement...

Advantages: Great late season snow Disadvantages: Expensive ski hire
...Arosa is perfect for late-season skiing or snowboarding. I have just been there (mid-April) and there was fresh snow every day, and clear skies most days.
There is a great variety of runs, with plenty of beginner slopes on the Weisshorn Mittelstation and plenty of interlinking red and black runs, with accessable off-piste on the Hörnli. (In fact, the only resort which I have been to which is better is Kitzbühel, which has some fantastic off-piste, but the snow is practically gone by this time of year.)
There is a regular and free bus service linking Arosa and Inner Arosa (which takes about 5 minutes).
Good bars in Arosa include: Casino bar, Los, Sitting Bull, Laetitia's is good for apres ski (but see below).
Good restaurants: Orchidee Palast (Chinese), Restaurant Derby (Swiss).
Avoid Laetitia's Mexican restaurant at all...

Well im back onto the hotel reviews again after a recent visit to Ottawa in Canada. After freezing my buttocks off and nestling into my scarf grabbing my bags and rushing into the hotel I had little chance to look at the exterior of the hotel!
