Holiday Inn Express & Suites DOWNTOWN OTTAWA EAST by IHG

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Although the location is slightly quieter and around a 5–10 minute walk from many attractions, I actually appreciated this are there are some nice areas to walk . The room was absolutely perfect ,spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. I would definitely consider staying here again when I’m back in town. Slightly on expensive side but overall worth it !

Best Hotel ever!!! so highly recommended 🥰 my kids enjoyed it so much :)

Don't recommend for a family trip if you wish to walk to By Market and downtown. The hotel is located in front of a shelter. There is a lot of homeless people around the hotel. I didn't feel safe.

The breakfast is rubbish, typically American, so there is nothing. Those who say it is good have obviously never been to hotels on other continents. The location is good, right on the edge of downtown Ottawa, so you can easily walk to the center. Parking is limited, so if you don't make a reservation in time in the morning, you won't have a place to park in the hotel, but there is a garage 5 minutes' walk away, which is also cheaper and can be easily walked. The biggest drawback of the hotel is that it is located next to the center for the homeless, and unfortunately many of them are not very clear-headed and it is very unpleasant to walk by them, day or night.

the hotel itself was ok, clean enough and the staff were decently nice. the breakfast assortment was okay (toasts, hot foods, cereals etc) though it was nothin extravagant. although the location is near to byward market, it was still a walk away (~15min) and the surrounding areas felt slightly unsafe with some homeless roaming the streets, so do take care of your little ones. the hotel provided towels and soap, no toothbrush etc, so do bring your own.
