The Business Inn
This remains Ottawa's little gem. Updates to the lobby look great, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the location is great. Front desk staff could be a little friendlier, but the hotel overall is great

Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre
The place claims it’s a nonsmoking property, but the hallway, elevator and room had a heavy cigarette smells. If you are traveling in the summer, please book another place. The AC does not function.

Cartier Place Suite Hotel
Room is clean, but the bed is very uncomfortable. The room is large but the furniture is outdated. The hotel is in a great location but the hallways and open areas are small.

Ottawa Embassy Hotel
Construction happening in hotel and the elevators were severely delayed (up to 5min). The elevators and areas were dusty with construction traffic. The beds were fine, but carpets worn. The bathroom had a strange pocket door and latch, which was not ideal.
