I recently spent 7 days at the Business Inn in Ottawa, and it was outstanding. From check-in to departure, every aspect exceeded expectations. **Location & Accessibility** Perfect location in prime Ottawa. Major attractions, business districts, and dining options were within walking distance or a short drive. **Room Quality** My room was immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring great sleep every night. The workspace was well-lit with multiple outlets—perfect for work. High-speed WiFi worked flawlessly. **Service Excellence** The staff truly set this property apart. Every team member was professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. The front desk greeted me warmly each day, and housekeeping was perfect. Special mention to the concierge for excellent local recommendations. Thank you again, Laura! **Amenities** Top-notch facilities. The fitness center had modern equipment, and the business center was extremely helpful. Breakfast options were varied and delicious, not mention free to use laundry facilities Whether visiting Ottawa for business or leisure, I highly recommend the Business Inn. It excels in every category. I'll definitely return and have already recommended it to colleagues and friends
