great location but needs better amenities

The location made it easy to access stores for essentials. The staff were genuinely friendly and added a nice touch to our stay.

However, some amenities felt a bit lacking.

close to parks and great for city strolling

We had a fantastic time exploring the city during our short stay, since the hotel is just a bit over 2 km from beautiful places like Lincoln-Douglas Park and the Ottawa Historical and Scouting Heritage Museum, making it so easy to enjoy leisurely walks to these landmarks together. As a couple, we appreciated the central location, which allowed us to discover so many nearby attractions that made our weekend delightful and memorable.

Totally recommend for an overnight stay

Fabulous room, fabulous breakfast, with a clean and comfortable bed along with excellent dining options to start your day right.

No complaints.

Great spot with friendly vibes!

We had such a nice stay! The staff was super welcoming, especially that one manager who was still upbeat at 11pm. Our room was clean and comfy, and breakfast was way better than I expected with fresh options. Just wish there were more parking spots available since it got kinda tight at times.

The hotel was neat, clean, and super comfy! The large shower in the room was a standout feature. We were upgraded to a suite unexpectedly, which was a sweet surprise!

Felt like a true getaway, no complaints.

I had a pretty decent time staying at Holiday Inn Express in Ottawa. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff at the front desk greeted me warmly. The room was clean and modern, with a comfy bed that made sleeping easy. The breakfast options were surprisingly good, with a nice variety of warm choices available. Loved starting my day with a hot meal. However, I faced some issues with the housekeeping services. My room didn't get cleaned properly during my stay, and I had to ask for coffee pods on multiple occasions as they were not replenished in the room. The parking situation was also a bit stressful, especially during busy hours. I was anxious about finding a spot each evening. It would’ve been nice to have more clarity about parking availability ahead of time. Overall, I appreciated the cleanliness and the breakfast, but the service aspects left something to be desired.

a memorable experience with caring staff and delicious breakfast at holiday inn express

Super friendly staff, clean room.

Ah, the breakfast spread was a real gem! From fluffy scrambles to crispy bacon, they nailed it. Plus, I was thrilled by the clean and comfy digs—definitely a sweet spot for my getaway. The staff were super friendly, too, making the start of each day enjoyable!

Now, about parking—it was a bit tight. If the hotel was super busy, finding a spot might've been a hassle. I also requested extra coffee pods a couple of times, but they just didn’t have any. Thankfully, we managed to snag some coffee from the urn and made it work. Gotta love that Ottawa resourcefulness!

Welcoming staff and great breakfast options

I had a wonderful stay with a very welcoming staff that made me feel at home. The breakfast stood out with tasty options like fresh cinnamon rolls and biscuits with gravy, ensuring a great start to my day. My room was clean and spacious, which added to the comfort of my visit. The only downside was the noise from the hallway that occasionally disrupted the peace in my room.
