The Rideau Heights Inn is an older hotel but clean and comfortable. The owner works at the front desk and she is extremely pleasant and helpful. We liked the convenience of parking right in front of our room. There’s many restaurants and shops nearby. We will stay at the Inn again.

What unique about this hotel is the garden view and i like the location it's not far from Downtown and Airport, what i didn't like is the vent in the bathroom which is very very loud. Overall all, it's a very great place.

Very enjoyable and affordable

I went there 4 years ago and my return was not disappointing, it was a wonderful experience for 2 nights. Very spacious room, very clean, comfortable queen size bed. Fridge included, flat screen TV with lots of channels. Shower with very good water pressure. Located near Hunt Club Road, 10 minutes from EY Center. It was perfect. There was a light breakfast included, not very big, with fruits, yogurts, cereals, orange juice and MOST important, lots of coffee. Parking in front of the room is an added bonus, easier for unloading our stuff. Good service, affordable and enjoyable stay. Will return, that's guaranteed.

Its a simple stay, but i personally enjoyed it. The staff was very polite and kind. The location is really amazing. 10min from Walmart, and also 10min from EY centre. However, if you are looking for a fancy hotel with an big breakfast and all that, this one may not be for you. It is very simple, but it was comfy for my short trip.
