“good place close to Ottawa airport at reasonable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We stayed here for 1 night in January, proir to taking an early morning flight. We have stayed here several times before for the same reason. We aways find the room comfortable, warm and welcoming, the fridge useful. We leave too early for breakfast, and have to pay for a taxi, as it is too early for their shuttle. This time there are new ownerws, and renovations are expected to start soon. We were able to get a very good rate when we booked through Otel .com without any problems.

“Paper thin walls”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

The first room i was given was supposed to be non-smoking, but when i entered, all i could smell was nasty stale smoke. the owner was nice and gave me another room without too much hassle. The rooms were dated, but about what you would expect for the $. The walls however are very thin, we could hear everything in the rooms next to us and above us which was disturbing. I didn't have the breakfast included with the room, instead I opted for the tim hortons which is right next door.
I would try the Days Inn next time if i was in the area again.

“Dated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

A last minute trip brought me to the Monterey because every other hotel was sold out (near the airport). Staff is friendly, rooms are dated, if there was wi-fi I couldn't find it and was not told about it, the free breakfast was very limited. What made my stay memorable? The smoke alarm beeping around 3am (low battery) and when I called the front desk they said just pull out the battery (makes sense, I just didn't expect that).

“Times are changing”

Since the new management took over you can see that they have made some changes and spent a little money. (well needed). As for the food....well it's average and reasonably priced. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful as well as the housekeeper I had the pleasure of speaking with! I would recommend this hotel and can't wait to see how the place looks when the upgrades are finished!

“Dirty”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I have never seen such dirty carpet in a hotel in my life. I would not walk on it without shoes. The included breakfast is a joke. This is a large property and the room for the breakfast is very small. We ended up going next door to Tim Horton's to eat because the wait was too long.
