Property info

Valued Guest, We are currently refurbishing our balconies from Monday to Saturday, between 9am and 3pm. The noisiest work has been completed. The remaining work will take 4 months from May 1, 2019 to August 30, 2019. During this period, there will be some intermittent drilling noise. There will also be workers on the balconies, please keep your curtains closed for privacy. As well, the balcony doors will only open 4 inches, to permit fresh air flow. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions. Sincerely, The Business Inn & Suites.

The room was large and accommodating. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner and lunches for 4. The extendable table was a nice surprise, however there were only 2 chairs available at the dining table and we were a family of 4. There was quite a bit of construction going on at the time but despite that there wasn’t a lot of noise. We were very close to most of the attractions we wanted to see (walking distance to Bayward Market, Parliament Buildings, Nature Museum, restaurants). The underground parking was dark and dreary and difficult to maneuver within but adequate. We enjoyed our stay.

This is our second time at the Business Inn. The breakfast, location, and size of the rooms were why we came back. The staff was very helpful. It would've been nice to sit on the balcony. Having an email explaining that the balconies were under construction was nice. It's always nice to be informed, and I thank you guys for that. That doesn't always happen.
