“Very nice B&B in Ottawa”

Auberge McGee's Inn

Sep 11, 2007
5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed here for 2 nights in The John McGee Room and had a great time.

We arrived, paid the balance of our bill and was shown to our room, asked what time we wanted breakfast and that was pretty much the only contact we had with the owners. Not unfriendly at all and it was nice to just be left to it as opposed to having maps and other information rammed down your throats from the outset.

The house itself is superb - stuffed to the rafters with antiques and memrobillia - very interesting to just look round.

Location was fantastic - 10 minute walk to the downtown hub and Byward Market area which has loads of bars and restaurants and was good fun. If you wandered off down dark sideroads you would come across a salvation army shelter but this isn't a problem for me. Stick to the main streets if it is.

Our room had a very comfortable bed, a fridge, sofa, table and chairs, free wireless internet and a decent sized bathroom.

The only negative points were that the shower was out of keeping with the rest of the property. A amall-ish acrilyc (plastic) chamber with a non-adjustable shower head that blasted water straight at your face. Also, the air conditioner, despite working fine, was very very noisy and being window-mounted right next to the bed was not very practical. Ceiling fan would have been nicer.

Breakfast, as stated by other reviwers was very good.

All in all I would stay here again.

“Owners not friendly”

Auberge McGee's Inn

1/26 found this review helpful

For a Bed & Breakfast I would have preferred a friendlier atmosphere! I did not feel the owners to be welcoming at all; in fact a hotel would have been more inviting, and it is for this reason that I would not recommend staying in this B&B. Also, I did not feel safe walking around the surrounding area, especially at night.

This establishment a preserved historic home in a great location. It is in a quiet neighbourhood but only a 3 minute walk to the downdown district and tourist attractions( i.e. Parliament Hill, Byward Market, Rideau Centre, Sparks St. Mall). It is family owned and operated, providing friendly and personal service. Parking is on site and free of charge.
The room that my wife and I occupied during our 2 night stay was spacious, included a fridge, tv, air conditioner, telephone, and was very tastefully decorated. The most outstanding feature for me was the INCLUDED hot breakfast served in the beautiful dining area. Choices ranged from Eggs Benedict, Strawberry and Banana Crepes, Green Apple and Brie Cheese Crepes, Sundried Tomato Omellet, Ham and Cheese Omellete, and the usual cold cereals, fruit, and coffee and juices.
We will definately return.

“Wonderful stay”

Auberge McGee's Inn

3/3 found this review helpful

We had a terrific stay here. Our room was on the 3rd floor (Windsor), air-conditioner, comfy bed and very quiet. The breakfast choices were considerable...3 hot dishes prepared to order as well as cold cereal, yogurt, fruit, muffins, etc. The Inn looked like it had recently been spiffed up...newly painted rooms, freshly landscaped front yard. The location is near the U of Ottawa and is residential, with most young families and students. Easy walk to Byward Market with restaurants, sights etc. nearby. Parking is included which is a plus.

This is a well kept comfortable bed and breakfast in a quiet neighborhood. I requested and got a beautiful third floor quiet room - with the exception of noise from the ceiling fan in the room below. The owners were very helpful.
