TL;DR: We would happily stay here again. We had a great stay. Not quite 5 stars, but very happy especially given the value. The 2 Signature Suites we had were quite big (although a bit different; the one with the king size bed had a huge TV and hot tub). There was not much space between the end of the bed and the dresser, but the hall leading to the bedroom and bathroom had its own door that could be closed (nice for families wanting a bit more privacy). There were lots of options for breakfast, although the same each day we were there (hot options were 2 types of egg bites (yummy!), sausage, or one of several types of breakfast sandwiches that would have been better if the english muffins were toasted). But there was also fruit, yogurt, cereal, cheeses, muffins, bagels, coffee, fruit cups, applesauce, bottled water, lots of condiments, etc. The indoor garage was nice... very tight to get into, but I loved the EV charging that is included in the price of the parking spot (if you have an EV, they give you a spot with your own charger). Housekeeping missed a couple minor things, but understandable with large rooms like ours.

The Business Inn is in a great location, close for walking downtown. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The room was very modern and clean. It has a fantastic free breakfast! The room has a kitchenette, oven, full size fridge, microwave, small coffee maker and all the dishes etc. Highly recommend staying!

Exactly what we were looking for. A clean room, decent price, great location and as a bonus, breakfast included. Would be a great place to stay for a couple days with the full kitchen. Zero complaints

The hotel is simple, but it’s honestly the nicest 3-star hotel I’ve ever stayed at. It’s extremely close to the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and everything else you might need. We were able to do everything on foot! I highly recommend it, and the breakfast is excellent too!

Excellent location to walk to Parliament buildings Rideau Canal and even Byward Market. Room had all that we could need for short stay or even longer(full kitchen ). Free Breakfast was very comprehensive given the lower than market nightly cost, Only negative was $28.00/night outside parking which was same price as garage. Thought outdoor should be less ($20) Would book again

Fantastic quirky hotel. Converted from apartments, huge rooms, so clean (hats off to house keeping), large daily breakfast, extremely helpful staff and checkin. Underground & above ground parking, adequate gym with some treads, elliptical, bike, old school free weights. Tons of pubs & restaurants with-in the immediate block. Best value in Ottawa

Specifically asked for a room with a tub. They gave me a shower instead refused to switch me rooms. They advertised 2 smart tvs in my room and neither worked. When I brought up these issues I was told I would receive a partial refund for the room. And didn’t. And lastly I was staying with my disabled partner and they gave me the furthers parking spot from the door even after I explained the situation. Very unhappy with my stay and would not recommend to anybody.
