The room needs a microwave. The curtains could be larger to block more of the street lights at night. The bathtub was narrow and shallow. The room has soap dispensers. I bought my own bar of hand soap. Otherwise, the room and facilities were clean and comfortable.

Honestly, it doesn't look like much from the outside (especially the flickering sign), but the rooms are pleasantly clean and comfortable and the price was right - and for us the location (South Ottawa) was good. I would definitely stay there again.

This is a quaint little motel. The most comfortable hotel bed I've had in 20 years. Desk staff were polite, quick and attentive. Requesting extra towels was a breeze. Very quiet neighbourhood, while still not being too far from whatever you need. The TV in our room (19) had terrible picture quality and should probably be replaced soon. Self-parking couldn't be easier. This will absolutely be my go-to hotel in Ottawa, no question.

I recently stayed at Rideau Heights in Ottawa and, unfortunately, my experience was not positive. I did not feel welcome during my stay, and although breakfast was clearly included in my booking, it was not provided to us. I booked with the expectation that the services listed would be honored. And the rooms were not so cleaned.

I had called to let them know I would arriving late We arrived nobody was in lobby. I range bell repeatedly but finally had to call the office before someone arrived. He was not at all apologetic. We were tired it was 12:30. He kept saying no worries. And I kept saying well maybe no.worries for him but the fact we had to wait was a problem for us! He didn't get it. The room we were given had.one bed yet I had requested 2. He then did give is another one. The room was clean and I'm certainly had everything we needed. By then it was 12:45. However the heater was so loud it actually impaired my sleep. So you either have heat or a constant noise. Also not enough warm blankets in bed. A very thin duvet and a.sheet and a very thin bed cover. Breakfast in the morning was fine. However my husband was still sleeping so left.froom to get a.coffee and cereal. There was nowhere to go - only to stand and thus I was told I couldn't stay in that area. Breakfast was offered at a good time 6-10 but by the time my husband went at 9 I think there was only limited choices. No more bananas or yogurt - and no more would be.put out! So it should read what the breakfast is on line but then state while supplies last. Of course it is an economical place - but approx 30 minutes out of central Ottawa -fir some.might be too far. I just think with a bit more attention ( maybe info on the heater about how to turn it off if you don't mind it cold or too hot) and better.customer service.
