This was my second time staying there, first was October 2024, I was glad it was available again this year. I liked location, the easy access, drive right to front door and open grounds with open grassed area and lawn chairs, easy to relax which is what I needed on both occasions because of family deaths. I will be returning next year to Ottawa from BC and the Inn will be the first place I look for accommodation.

I like that it was a quiet location but close to amenities. The ground outside were well keep with chairs to sit at to enjoy the outdoors. The bed was comfortable and so was the sofa to sit and watch TV. There were some hiccups with housekeeping but nothing that couldn't have been fixed.

Basic needs were met; clean. Bed was a little soft and check in took some time (not the Inn’s fault, everyone came at the same time). We will go back because price and location are good for us

I love that the room was very clean otherwise you get what you pay for. Bed was uncomfortable, still having back pain 2 days later. Bathroom fan loud, rusted and hanging. Breakfast is bare minimum but it can get you going.

Breakfast is “included” but includes a muffin of cereal. Not impressed from that. We had stained towels AND stained sheets, when asked for new ones the receptionist said “you will have to wait till morning” The duvet was just a thicker sheet couldn’t even stay warm with it. The toilet had poop stains from past guest therefore hadn’t been clean. Overall disgusted and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

They are understanding. I got to Ottawa early, and I was allowed to check in a bit early instead of roaming around waiting until 3 p.m.

This is a nice motel at a good price. The carpet needs a good steam cleaning but the room was otherwise clean. I will stay there again.
