This is a well-kept budget friendly Inn. Good value and great for an overnight stay. the continental breakfast should have been better stocked on Sunday morning but otherwise very happy with the accommodation.

The Inn is in a lovely setting, lots of trees and a nice grassy park-like area out front. Though it is close to several main roads, it's quiet. The service is great. The inn is a bit dated but our room was very clean, spacious, had everything we needed, and the bed was very comfortable. It's a clean, economical nice place for a night or two.

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.
