We visited Ottawa in early June to attend convocation ceremonies for our two children at the National Arts Centre. We were normally able to get a discounted rate at the Quality Inn at the corner of Rideau & King Edward, but that option wasn't available for this trip so we decided to give The Business Inn a try, since we...

We found an excellent deal on Expedia for the Business Inn and stayed here for three nights - May 31 to June 3, 2013. We booked a VIP Suite with a bedroom. The suite was excellent - clean and extremely spacious. It was so much like an apartment we actually felt like we were breaking and entering LOL. The suite... More

I stayed at the Business Inn from May 26-30, 2013. I have stayed there before. I find it to be an excellent hotel in Ottawa. Check in is fast and cordial, the rooms are large and clean, the staff is very friendly. Each room comes with flat-panel TV's, and good computers, with printers and wifi also at no extra cost....

We like to walk all over when we go on vacation. This place is about as good as you can get for Ottawa and walking. Centrally located near the canal and major thoroughfares. 10 minutes from Parliament HIll and the walking trails along the river. If you are willing to take transit, its a 10 minute ride from the Train... More

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff greet you and it gets better. The rooms are large and immaculate. There is a large tv and desktop computer and printer with a warm and cozy fireplace for those cooler days! Love the kitchen set-up. The beds are comfortable and with a good size tv (cable) in the room. The breakfast chef is a... More

The building is a converted apartment, so the rooms are large and include a bedroom,living room ,bathroom and kitchen. They even have a desktop PC in your room.

Very professional and easy check in. Immaculate hotel room....large and clean. Central downtown location close to all amenities. No swimming pool was a bit of a negative for children. As well, please note parking is for a $15.00 fee.

Great little independent hotel - Very professional service, prompt and easy-going. I especially appreciate the little things like easily borrowing a phone charger from the front desk. The breakfast is a nice format - I liked the freshly-made breakfast sandwiches with real cheese and ham - much better than a fast-food joint. My room had it's own desktop computer, with... More

This was our second stay at the Business Inn in Ottawa and highly recommend it! I am extremely fussy about where I stay overnight, have had to change rooms in many hotels because of dirt and/or stains in bedroom or bathroom, but the Business Inn is just so clean!
