This is a very basic Econo Lodge but for the price they're charging I'm not sure what people are expecting. The rooms are basic, but if your sightseeing you won't be in your room a lot anyways. A 15-20 minute walk to the Byward Market or Parliament, a bus ride would take about 5 minutes. The breakfast is very basic... more

Our room was facing Rideu St., so was very noisy, when entering the room we had to give door a kick to get it opened, as it always stuck, room had a musty smell or old smoke smell?, TV remote did not work, A/C had only 1 speed, bathroom sink drain very slow, paint very tired & dingy, carpets, old... more

Booking a hotel in this range, I wasn't expecting anything but basic accomodation, and that's exactly what I received. Free parking in downtown Ottawa was a great feature. My room faced Rideau Street and I didn't actually hear any noise from outside at any time. The WiFI worked, and there were other unsecured networks available. The free breakfast is just... more

Arrived at 2:00 PM . Location facing Rideau St and very noisy. Got key to room and as soon as I opened the door, the smell hit us. It was either damp or an old smokers room. The entire paring lot had about 1 or 2 inches of ice on it. No sat or sand but could be used as... more

While on business in Ottawa I stayed in Econo Lodge in downtown Ottawa. I had a room with a double bed that was clean and well-kept. The carpet and more importantly, the bedsheets and bathroom were all very clean. There was a space heater in the room and the room was toasty warm when I stepped in. One annoyance from... more

To see the attractions of Ottawa, this is a good place to stay. You can walk to the most important places, dining and shopping are close. The staff was friendly, the room was mainly clean. Since hotels in Ottawa are quite expensive, this was a good value. Do not park next to your room, the owner will call you in... more

When one is looking for a hotel in the lower price range, there is the risk that you will deeply regret going to that hotel. I paid $76/night before tax. For the money, I got excellent value. There were no major flaws with the hotel. There are much better hotels in Ottawa, and they come with much higher prices. If... more
