Great stay at the Gasthaus

My husband and I booked a romantic getaway at this small, family run hotel, after a friend of ours recommended it. Location is terrific, so close to all amenities. The heritage building has tremendous charm. Rooms have a lot of character and they are very clean and superbly maintained. The owner displays a great sense of pride in her property and goes out of her way in many ways to accomodate her guests. There is a sense of warmth you get from staying at a small establishment that you cannot ever get from staying at a brand name hotel chain. We stayed at one of the suites and had a great time. Buffet breakfast was terrific, it will keep you going throughout the day and set you off to a great start. The breakfast in bed we received on one of the mornings was even better :). We felt truly pampered. Courtyard garden at the back of the Inn was very pleasant in the morning and afternoon. My husband was amazed at the business amenities available at the hotel (a large boardroom with full conference and technological amenities). He is considering organizing an upcoming business event at the hotel. We may have been fussy and demanding guests in some ways (we required additional towels, had problems setting up our wireless, needed access to fridge after hours, misplaced our key), but Sabina and her staff exhibited exemplary patience and hospitality. We were very much impressed and will definitely stay at this B&B when we come to Ottawa again.
