Great choice to stay at Ottawa, close to the center and with lots dining options locally. The room I got was a full suite with every amenity including stove, microwave, full fridge, cuttlery and plates, cups, etc. The Dove toiletries were nice. The towels were super white. Best of all was the excellent breakfast, which had a great variety. Great value for money. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Business Inn, and I can confidently say it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making check-in a breeze. The rooms are spotless, well-appointed, and designed for maximum comfort—perfect for both work and relaxation. The high-speed Wi-Fi made it easy for me to stay connected and get my work done, and I was particularly impressed by the variety of thoughtful amenities available, including a spacious desk, plenty of charging ports, and a comfortable chair. The hotel's location is perfect for business travelers, with easy access to nearby restaurants, shops, and conference centers. The onsite business facilities are top-notch, and I felt like I had everything I needed right at my fingertips. I also want to highlight the excellent breakfast options and the modern fitness center, both of which made my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, The Business Inn offers fantastic value for money, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a seamless, comfortable, and efficient stay while traveling for work. I will definitely be coming back!

Night away
We didn’t want to leave. It was quiet, comfortable, staff was amazing. We made a night out of an event at Landsdowne and stayed for a little get away. The only issue we found was the elevators being so small, it was a little uncomfortable when there were 5 people in it. We are already planning to come back again as soon as we can.
