Top Ottawa Hotel Reviews

The Business Inn

The Business Inn

10/10 Excellent
"It was excellent: super clean, very comfy bed, quiet, lots of unexpected extras like a white noise machine. Breakfast was the most varied of any hotel restaurant I've ever stayed at. The location was also excellent: about a 10 minute walk to Parliament Hill yet very quiet and within steps of tons of bars and restaurants."
