“The Ambassador presents a compelling option for those seeking a more intimate stay in Ottawa; its Sandy Hill location, surrounded by embassies and historic homes, certainly lends a distinct charm. I noted the individually styled, air-conditioned rooms, many with private patios and garden views, designed for a relaxing experience, and the shared kitchen and lounge offer a communal atmosphere. In my view, it's a particularly good fit for families or business travelers who appreciate a blend of vintage ambiance and modern convenience near the city's core.”
