The Business Inn
The building and rooms are old but well-maintained. Breakfast is good. The rooms we have stayed in this time and last time are both very spacious, which is rare compared to the newer hotels. Our family of 4 didn't feel crammed in a little room at all. Great value!

ANDAZ OTTAWA BYWARD MARKET, BY HYATT
Short stay, so did not get to use the amenities. Room was fine, but bland and right next to construction. They did provide ear plugs, but I couldn’t use those since I didn’t want to miss my alarm.
