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.

“A nice place to stay; fantastic location in one of Ottawa's best and most vibrant neighbourhoods.”

The construction on the balconies was loud on the second morning of our stay, but it commenced at a reasonable hour, after we were awake, and we were forewarned prior to our stay by the hotel that this would be happening, so no problem. The only real issue was that some dust from the work came in, probably through the air conditioner, and settled around the room. They may wish to take steps to block the vents for that part of the work to prevent that from occurring, as the dust wasn't pleasant to breathe or have on our things.
The staff is excellent: attentive and helpful, and the rooms, while dark and a bit old in terms of decor, were very clean. The bed was very comfortable and made for a great sleep. The continental breakfast had good variety and was enjoyable.

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.
