Had to request a room change only to find the same problem in a room on second level. Management is making guests sign a form at check in stating they will be responsible for cleaning fees of $100. if smoking happens in room. I don't think this is working!! Poor ventilation. Tiny window that opens in front and no circulation... More

A very nice inn. Clean, quiet, comfortable, safe (very important as a woman traveling solo), close to the city. The only thing I wish they had was wireless internet, but they did have wired and lent me a cable. Also allowed me to stay an hour past checkout. Both the maids and the front desk were very friendly. I had... More

You can't beat this little gem beneath the towering pines in a very busy location. Older hotel, but clean, quiet and we felt sheltered/safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful to two seniors visiting Ottawa for the first time with the family pet. And the muffins in the office were a little added yummy bonus. For the price we... More

After a month-long cottage holiday in eastern Ontario, my family spent the night here before catching our morning flight home to BC. This was the perfect location for my needs. It is a 10 minute drive to the airport without the hassle of unpacking our rental car and dragging everything on a trolly through a hotel lobby. The motel is... More

They were not trendy, and they did not answer to a higher corporate power. Now chains and franchises dominate the market, and customers are rarely... More

The Rideau Heights Inn provides very traditional motel-type accommodation, only a couple of minutes by taxi further than the Holiday Inn and Day's Inn that are more commonly used for YOW. The price is considerably lower, and the setting (in a pine grove) is much more pleasant (don't look over the fence, though, to the neighbouring warehouse). The Inn is... More

After a fiasco at another Ottawa area hotel, my wife called the Rideau Heights Inn looking for a room. At 10 am, we were told that they could have a room available within 30 minutes. We drove over not really knowing what to expect. The front desk clerk was extremely friendly and greeted my wife by name. Things only got... More

We stayed at this Motel for 6 consecutive nights. It far surpassed our expectations. Spread over a beautiful site with towering pines, we were immediately impressed on arrival by the reception staff...and as the days passed by all staff. The room was spaciously welcoming...good solid bed...comfortable furniture...excellent shower and washroom facility...satellite TV from a new digital set...and internet that worked... More
