The housekeeping service was great! Front desk staff were very pleasant. Building is kept fairly secure. Rooms were spacious with comfortable bed and well appointed kitchen. Parking was convenient, but a little pricey (though worthwhile for the ease - and the hotel is centrally located); recommend not using the garage parking if you have a large vehicle with a hatchback - the ceiling was too low to get the back open in my assigned parking space, which made getting the luggage out quite difficult.

Location was very good. Bed was very comfortable. Hotel needs renovation desperately. I’d suggest they charge more per night and fix it up. Unless they do, I would not stay there again.

It was a mixed experience. Pros : rooms were VERY clean(cz I wipe everything before settling in and nothing came on the paper towel, no dust, no marks), staff was very accommodating and nice, breakfast was simply AMAZING. I was shocked actually because I was not expecting much but food had variety, great taste and even snack bags for on the go breakfast. And everything tasted fresh. Cons : the reason I won’t be staying here again is the bed. The mattress is really bad. I thought maybe it’s a new place and that’s why I can’t sleep but nooooo.. the mattress is horrible. I haven’t slept in 4 days and my back is killing me now. Also the property is really old and not in a fun way. And it has this terrible smell everywhere( elevators, hallways, rooms) that no amount of perfume could take away.

From the moment we interacted - at the check-in counter - with a very friendly and professional young lady, called Lina, until the moment we checked out 2 days laterr - with a very kind young man - our stay at The Business Inn has been outstandingly positive! We felt at home in our beautiful room on the 11th floor, We also enjoyed eating at the buffet breakfast room on the third floor. The gentleman working there did a wonderful job organizing the flow of placing and refilling the many breakfast items. A praise to the Manager of The Business Inn, because he is aware of just how very important a job it is to train the personnel the way to make the guests feel welcome, meet them with a smiling face always, give the guests time to present their questions, and then find solutions, all in a calm manner. We highly recommend this hotel in beautiful Ottawa. We also hope to be able to return to soon.

We stayed for a week. We were greeted very well and were surprised to receive an upgrade. Our room was lovely. It certainly made a great base to see a great deal of Ottawa. Breakfast was lovely. A tremendous selection on offer for all tastes and diets. The staff here were excellent. They were very helpful, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Rooms were very nice equipped with a couple of tvs, desk top computer with printer. Kitchenette was great and was fully equipped. Would definitely book here again the next time we come to Ottawa.

​The room, bathroom, and kitchen are clean. The breakfast selection is quite good, it offers plenty of variety, including convenient "grab and go" options for those in a rush. However, the dining area is quite small; unless you’re willing to wait for a table, you might need to take your meal back to your room. My suite was located directly next to the elevator, and I could hear a squeaky mechanism throughout the night. While I was told there is complimentary laundry on-site, I didn't have the chance to use it. The accommodations is quite dated, but the services are great.
