The Business Inn

180 Maclaren Street, K2P 0L3 Ottawa, Canada –

This was a great location for Exploring Ottawa's downtown at an affordable price. The room was large and extremely well appointed.

Shelley, Canada

Very friendly staff and they will try to please you. The room was big and we had from the hotel their computer and printer in the room. We used our computer anyway. Big variety of channels on TV. WiFi was OK. The bed was excellent. For a budget hotel is an excellent choice.

Daniela, Canada

Very Impressed with the accommodation. We were not expecting such a large living space ...the tv was huge. Breakfast was good...got my nesspesso. Staff helpful.

Hardip, Canada

In total , we were pleased . The only thing we didn't like , slow and small elevator for that building . We had to wait a long time for elevator to come and then get squeezed inside the elevator to get the ride among others . We didn't like the distance between building and parking space . We were 2 ladies and expect some understanding about parking space .

Fereshteh, Canada

Location, Facilities, Staff , The restaurant Staff are so attentive and helpful. The facilities were way beyond my expectations.

Reza, Azerbaijan

Very quick to get a tasty free breakfast with food premade and prewrapped. Very complete kitchen. Huge amount of space

Edward, United States of America

Very comfortable room. 2 LED screens, kitchenette, coffee maker and all. Breakfast was very good. Location is excellent, 10 minutes from main attractions, nearby pharmacy, market and Starbucks

Roberto, Puerto Rico

The room was spacious. There was a living diningroom and kitchen as well as bedroom. The staff were pleasant.

Mary, Canada

The coffee was excellent and plentiful. All of the amenities were thoughtfully provided to meet every need. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate special requests. The breakfast was delicious, nutritious and met a variety of dietary needs. The room was already cooled before our arrival which was appreciated with 30 degree temperatures outside. The gym was clean and cool.

Kala, Canada

We liked the location as we could park the car and walk everywhere. The room was very spacious and had everything we could want.

눉The hotel is somewhat strangely set up inside...feels a bit like a maze at times but it is impossible to get lost as everything links together! The breakfast service is a bit chaotic but there is a wide variety of food and snacks. I think the two breakfast rooms would benefit from reorganization and better signage to improve the traffic flow.
눇This was a great location for Exploring Ottawa's downtown at an affordable price. The room was large and extremely well appointed.
