This was my second stay at this motel, and overall I had a good experience. The staff were friendly, and the property was clean and well maintained. I would recommend staying here.
I do have a few suggestions that could improve the guest experience. The toilets are very low and small, and replacing them with modern comfort-height, water-saving toilets would improve comfort while reducing water usage. The room had a noticeable odor when I entered. Replacing the carpet with laminate or hardwood flooring and providing air fresheners in both the room and bathroom would make the rooms feel much fresher. It would also be helpful to install hooks in the bathroom for hanging clothes or towels while showering.
My only concern was the checkout experience. My checkout time was 11:00 a.m., and I had a \"Do Not Disturb\" sign on my door. I returned to my room around 10:00 a.m. and found that housekeeping had already entered and opened the room before my official checkout time. I understand it may have been an honest mistake, but housekeeping should always confirm with the front desk before entering any room prior to the scheduled checkout time. Guest privacy should always be respected.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and appreciate the friendly service. I hope these suggestions will help improve the experience for future guests, and I look forward to staying here again.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Ottawa. The room was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. One thing I especially appreciated was the air conditioning. It worked perfectly and made the room incredibly comfortable, especially after spending time outside.

I also needed an iron and ironing board during my stay, and the staff brought them to my room very quickly. Their prompt and friendly service was greatly appreciated.

The complimentary breakfast was another highlight. The coffee was excellent, and the muffins were absolutely delicious. It was a great way to start each morning.

Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and would happily stay here again. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ottawa.

I wish I could give a better review because the staff were genuinely excellent. They were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout my stay.

Unfortunately, the room was not clean. The bathroom floor contained hair and dust, there was urine on the underside of the toilet seat, and a used towel was left in the room. The sheets and carpet had stains, a lampshade was broken, and the sheets provided for the king-size bed did not even cover the entire mattress.

These are issues that should have been caught during routine housekeeping. The staff deserve praise, but the cleanliness and upkeep of the room were unacceptable.

A quick and easy Continental breakfast available to take back to your room or as mentioned sit outside. Great value and easy to get into Ottawa centre.

A nice little quiet spot close to the airport. Lots of parking available. And an amazing courtyard to relax. Room was spotless when checking in, towels and bedsheets immaculate. And the housekeeping was respectful of not disturbing me. The front desk staff are some of the best I have interacted with. Extremely helpful and understanding. I even extended my stay an extra week because of it. The air conditioner ran cold as we had 30+ degree weather.

Overall. I am very happy to have found this little spot. 10/10 will stay here next time I am in Ottawa.

There was no Air conditioning and no fan. It's very hot, especially for the summer. The breakfast was not satisfied. Also, for the payment, the initial booking amount was different from the receipt given from the reception. So the amount was $445 while the receipt mentioned $286.45, so I am confused regarding which payment is accurate. Overall, I am not satisfied with the stay at Rideau Heights Inn.

Very clean room with comfy beds. Older motel type of hotel but would go back. Shampoo and shower gel in dispensers and shower was good. Plenty towels provided. Breakfast was fine- cereal, yoghurts fruit and muffins with tea and coffee. Only thing we would have liked is a USB charger in the room. Maybe when they upgrade the lamps they can get the ones with the charging port? Grounds out front were nice and looked after with seats provided. We like walking but the road was too busy to cross easily and safely but convenient location for what we needed and a short drive to the arboretum. No regrets that we chose this place.

Parken direkt vor der Türe ist sehr praktisch. Hat gepasst für eine Übernachtung auf der Durchreise, aber nicht Besonders.

The motel has great curb appeal. Cute, clean, well cared for, and well-lit, so we felt safe at night. Staff was friendly. Love parking right outside the room, so convenient. The room is updated, but the furniture is dated - still in good condition though. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, but had nice pillows. The room had a mini fridge, which was great. It didn't have a freezer though, so we weren't able to have our ice packs in our cooler for the next day's outing. You can hear the ppl above walking around, but it's not too bad. You don't get much for breakfast (muffins, fruit, yogurt, cereal), but it was nice to have anything offered really. It made breakfast easy. Overall it was a nice motel.

The lady at check in was not friendly, I asked if we were on the lower level and she shook her head no and I don’t have anything!!! Pictures on the website showed one level but the one side has 2 levels with no elevator just stairs. She did not direct us to our room, did not tell us where the breakfast was (not worth going to) the TV would not change channels and there was no plug for the tub. I do have to say though it was fairly clean.

When we first pulled into the parking lot, I have to admit I started to worry about what I had signed up for since the lot was empty and the \"office\" sign was blinking. We for sure thought we were getting murdered. Honestly though? I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. The room was clean, the grounds were nice, the staff was super friendly, and the overall experience was easy breezy.

If I was to give any critical feedback, it would be that the bathroom could use a dimmer switch or a nightlight, because it's way too shocking to turn the very bright overhead light on in the middle of the night, and it was way too dark to not have any lights on at all. I will also say that maybe they invest in some washable duvet covers vs. the old style metallic-thread comforter that feels like it should be removed before sleeping under it. Since there was no other duvet or anything other than the top sheet - we had to leave it on. Felt a bit gross, but I'm not precious, so we managed.

Nothing fancy but the rooms are clean and there is lots of parking if you have a larger than normal vehicle.

Older motel. Spotless and well maintained. Rain forest shower head. Good a/c.
Warm greeting upon arrival. Was feeling poorly and asked if they could give me a room before 3:00 check in. Not a problem. They were able to accommodate. Very kind.

The room was clean and comfortable and not over priced, it had a mini-fridge and a single cup coffee maker. 10 minute drive to the airport. Perfect for what we required. Had to leave before the continental breakfast so I can't comment on that. Overall, good experience.

They advertise a continental breakfast, however it should be called snacks. Yogurt, muffins, bananas and apples, and cereal. no proteins.
