After some attempts at priceline and other discount methods of finding hotel rooms, the econolodge was the cheapest hotel located in downtown Ottawa. This hotel does not depart significantly from the other reviews provided here. For example, the counters slope, there are both plastic and styrofoam cups in the room and the amenities are basic. That said, in our room... more

Stayed in Econo Lodge Downtown for Victoria Day long weekend. As mentioned before, this is former motel (actually some of the awards on their award wall do belong to the motel), which somehow got an Econo Lodge affiliation. I guess that achievement (getiing branded) involved some very creative shmoozing from place owners, but this is pure speculation on my side.... more

Stayed 2 nights. Rooms were clean and price was right. Staff very helpfull, good people. Parkings free. Close to everything if you like walking. Breakfast was OK but they said they're making it better... cereal? Good: Better than I thought for so little $. Bad: Breakfast hours need to be longer on weekends. I would recommend if looking for good... more

I'm surprised Econo-lodge would put their stamp of approval on this hotel.

I booked a non-smoking room online, yet when I checked in they only had smoking rooms available. The room smelled awful and musty.... more

We arrived at Econolodge in Ottawa on 28 Feb, 2007 and checked out on March 1st, 2007. We agree with the comment titled "good enough" because everything the person said is true!

It was merely a base at night to sleep, because we knew that in the days, we would be exploring the sights of beautiful Ottawa. One of the best things about this hotel is how... more

Clean and quite, walking distance from downtown, parking available, reasanoble continental brakfast, very kind guy behind the desk (provided an additional heater, since automatic one starts only under 5C). more

I use TripAdvisor whenever I travel. This site's perfect for people like me who travel. I was worried when I saw the negative review for this place with the picture of an ancient TV, but it was too late for me... I already had a reservation and the location was where I needed to be. I was very happy when... more

Take a shower in the small bathroom, once it gets filled with steam, open the sliding windows...wow what a breath taking view. The guy sitting in a couch in another room across the corridor can have a clear cut view of you and may be your wife completely naked. Preposterous. The television set was brought from the national museum of... more
