I stayed at the Ottawa Chimo on business in November 2007 before moving to Ottawa permanently. The hotel was fairly clean, but could have used an update. The bathroom had older fixtures that had seen better days. The room was clean but basic. The internet at that time was very slow (at least in the room I was in). The... more

While my car was parked as close to the front door as possible it got broken into. The frontdesk clerk was useless, his name was Alan. They broke the drivers side door lock and the opened the trunk. They stole my late father's military sword and the change from the ashtray. My car was loaded to the rafters as I... more

This hotel appears to be a clean well kept place. I was washing my face in the bathroom and left for a minute to check out the news report on the T.V. , when I returned the to brush my teeth I noticed a cockroach on the towel I had just used. I went down to the front desk to... more

My wife and I stayed there on June 1-2/09. The next day she started itching and developed welts all over her body, somebody told her it looked like bed bug bites. We got home on the night of the 3rd and I still hadn"t noticed anything on myself but there were more areas developing on my wife. The next day,... more

The hotel meets the basic needs - a place to shower and sleep. Although showering becomes interesting when the tap is labelled wrong and the 'hot' water comes out freezing cold. While I had the necessities supplied (shampoo, soap), another person in our group was missing items...perhaps this was just a minor oversight. But the biggest disappointment was the restaurant.... more

With another colleague in the same room but different beds, both of us got horrible spider bites overnight (conclusion from doctor at a walk-in clinic). The rashes were very itching, we ended up checking out early and stayed at another hotel. more

This Chimo Hotel lacks in curb appeal. This is an older hotel that truly shows it’s age. There are band aids in place to “spruce up the look” but you won’t be fooled. There is a seating area off the main lobby, and the material on the couches is so worn, the foam is showing. The rooms are small, but... more

There's nothing particularly "bad" about the Chimo. There's nothing particularly good either. The room is decent in size and cleanliness. Here are the disappointments - bed is soft - internet access is free but requires a password (why wasn't this provided at check in?) - one bottle of generic, overly perfumed shampoo/conditioner - generic soap - generic coffee - no... more
