Liked: Staff & service
The rooms are very clean, house keepers are doing a great, the beds are great, friendly receptionist most especially the guy called Dion, what a guy. The most impressive part of the hotel is the room. If the management can find a way of building barricades in front if the doors preventing snow from entering into the rooms, that will be nice. Anyways my sleep ways great.

Terrible place , they did not have our other friends booking , wanted $200.00 deposit which was fine , but not in cash or debit , only credit card, didn’t have one on us as we came back from Punta Cana , would not take cash, guy at office is very disrespectful, we want our refund as it’s false advertisement.

The cleaning lady ignored that the room was occupied and tried to come in next day at 10am.My 200$ deposit was supposed to be return 24h later but one week after didn't receive it and the manager not available. Apparently he's at the hotel only Tuesday mornings..

Excellent place to stay! Comfortable, clean and has one of the best hotel beds I have slept in. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shopping and restaurants close by as well. The room was super clean and smelled hreat when we arrived. It is close to the airport which is why we booked it, and we would stay here again.

Our stay at Rideau Heights was just ok. Don’t expect much more than what you see on the pictures. As for breakfast, there’s only a couple of fruits, cereals and coffee. We ate breakfast at Steele’s a couple blocks away. I would recommend only if you have a busy schedule and you sleep there for one night.

The room appeared clean but had a bad smell. I woke up itching in the morning after sleeping on the sofa bed.
