The property is centrally located in the capital, surrounded by many restaurants, and has a lovely atmosphere. The hotel staff is fantastic and responded positively to my request to upgrade to a room on the upper floors. This is my second visit, and I have no reason not to return to this hotel the next time I'm in Ottawa. No other hotel can offer such quality at such an affordable price.

I recently spent 4 nights at The Business Inn. A wonderful property. The location just off Elgin is very handy – good transit access and easy walking distance to most areas of downtown. My 1 bedroom suite was spacious and quiet. There was a well-equipped full kitchen which I did not need to make use of. Very large bathroom with loads of hot water. Two large TVs, one in the living room, one in the bedroom, in-room iron and ironing board. Loved the fact that the in-room lighting was bright and more than sufficient for bedside reading. Included breakfast was very good: hot options (egg bites, breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal) were very welcome. Great coffee, juice, bottled water, etc. Lots of room to eat in the breakfast room or overflow room, though many guests just port their choices back to their rooms. There are also free laundry and 24/7 fitness though I used neither. Staff were very solicitous and responsive. The only real negative is that the in-room coffee is just awful. They really ought to spring for Keurig or Nespresso machines in the rooms. My tip: pick up your morning coffee in the breakfast room – one or two cups as you require – and take it to your room. You can always reheat later as needed in the microwave. One final remark. The management has opted for heavy paper plates, cups, compostable coffee cups lids and cutlery, which is amazing. But there is no recycling in either the breakfast room nor the rooms. Still, a real gem and I will be back.

The Business Inn gave me a wonderful stay. It was nice to come back to a comfortable room at the end of the long days exploring Ottawa. Every Day the bed would be made and the breakfast was warm. The breakfast did get a bit repetitive over the course of the week, with the same items. I wasn't a fan of the breakfast sandwiches, which didn't seem to have much taste, but the egg bites were amazing. I got an upgrade for my room, and I while it was nice, it was a bit too big for just me. It had a desk, couch, and even a printer. But the dresser was a bit dated, so the drawers were tough to open and close. The heater and fridge were both a bit loud, too, but I got used to it. That's just me nitpicking, though. I had a wonderful stay, and the mattress was my favourite part! Good night sleep every night.

Love the Business Inn! They’ve got the best in-room amenities and gadgets that other hotels just don’t offer. Need a fan? Check the closet. Want to cook something in your room? Full kitchen set up. Need to plug your electronics in? They’ve got all the adapters and more. What really sets them apart from other hotels is that they have the space needed for longer stays, and are on the best part of Elgin. You really can’t go wrong by sticking with the Business inn. Also shout out to Laura for helping us, she was kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. Thanks Laura!
