Left thirsty
Requested drinking water, there was no cold water coming from the sink or tub faucet in the room. It was very warm and not drinkable. There was NO bottled water available for purchase and the associate at the service desk was less than hospitable when we called. I have stayed at many best western in my travels, this may be the last time and will be sure to tell everyone I know about the Gatineau location!

Mediocre
The elevator was ridiculously slow. It could take up 10 minutes before arriving. I took the 6 flights of stairs down twice and arrived before the elevator arrived down. The coffee machine was out of service twice in my 19 hour stay. The tv channel selection is mediocre and the remote does not work well. You have to be very close to the TV and often have to push more than once on the keys. Overall, ok, but unlikely to recommend or visit again.

Des choses à améliorer
Nous sommes restés 4 nuits et le 4ème soir la chambre n'avait pas été faite ! Très mal fréquenté, des disputes dans le couloir de 2h à 4h du matin, 2 nuits de suite. Points positifs beaucoup de places de stationnement et bel environnement le long de la rivière face à Ottawa

Good enough but wont come back.
Dated hotel. Extremely loud AC unit in the room so i had to turn it off (imaging a loud motorcycle engine starting out of the blue next to your ear), windows don't open for fresh air so it got very stuffy. Bed very soft... too soft. Swimming pool was ok but could be better but getting there is ridiculous, also operated 9am-9pm only, you get kicked out after (other hotels keep those open till at least 10pm). Overpriced breakfast. The only good thing about this hotel was service, price and view.

Chance to practise your French
Very good customer service from front desk. She was very patient with my limited French. I tried to speak French even though I knew English can be spoken. Staff is completely bilingual. Comfortable room with a nice view of the city of Gatineau

We had a lovely stay. The staff was very courteous. There was a bit of noise from other occupants the second night of our stay, but it settled by about 11:30 at night. We would happily stay there in the future.

Guests smoking on balconies.
Was promised 7th floor. Got 5th instead. No. Smoking property but hundreds of cigarette butts below balconies and lots of smokers on other balconies so we couldn’t enjoy ours. Beds were clean and fresh.
