Absolutely terrible experience. The room was dirty and had bugs. The staff refused to take responsibility, ignored our concerns, and wouldn’t even consider a refund when we wanted to leave because of the hotel’s condition. Customer service was awful. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.it was so so dirty.

The door locked to our room was off. We had to learn a trick just for it to open. Exterior of the hotel looks like ghetto. Interior was fine. As soon as we got inside the room we never left and make sure everything is locked.
Staff is friendly
Breakfast is your minimal American breakfast.
Clean room at least
Air conditioning was working at least.

At 2:30 am on June 1st I was awaken by a board above the bed falling off the wall and onto the left side of my head. I reported it to the staff. Went to the ER to make sure I was OK to drive home. They checked me for a concussion and vitals.

I again talked with the night manager who said I should receive some compensation for what happened. They have all my information and I have not heard a word from anyone!

There were ants in the first room, the staff was nice but provided no real solution besides a new room. The second room had mold in the bathroom doorway and you had to put up the toilet seat just to open the door (room 222). Not to mention half of the doors were open to the actual rooms, which my friend (with a different reservation) had to deal with. The window in her room was cracked as well. It’s also not well lit on the side with the gas station, it’s creepy over there at night. Don’t recommend staying here, especially as a solo traveler, and especially as a woman. There was also a small device attached to the TV that looked like a camera. I looked and the cable was not attached to the TV at all through the cable but was, like, glued to the front of it, top center. There was hair stuck to the towels that were unused and a bug jumped from the drain when I turned it on. Not to mention the weird red and black stains on the bathroom wall next to the door. My friend also had mold on her shower curtain. In conclusion, this place was unsanitary, unsafe, unkempt, and overall a weird experience.

For Best Western properties - Ottawa falls short.

TV - 1 channel only via remote. Manually changing chanels via cable box. Upon check-out, receptionist explained others having same problem........
Breakfast ? Should have been described as breakfast snack. Waffle, toast, yogurt or protein bars were only options. Very, very disappointing. <--simply due to this, next year I will stay elsewhere.
Bed ? Mattress with Link Spring/Helical Spring design is unacceptable - way outdated. Squeaky and much more comfortable designs are available today.

This property was decently kept. It is not luxurious, but appropriately priced. The walls were a tad thin. I am glad our neighbors were relatively quiet. But I bet they didn't like us. We were visiting our son and stayed in the room to chit chat. The pool was not operational, but we didn't intend on using the pool. There were some minor repairs that could have been made to the room (missing or borken outlet covers, the toilet wobbled) and I wish they provided a broom - as the floors are not carpeted and we tracked in some dirt. I would book again for the money saving opportunity.

The room was filthy. All of the linen did not appear to be cleaned from previous stays. They were stained and dingy. The refrigerator, soap dispenser and the floor were all filthy. There was a fly swatter in the room and dead bugs. There was water damage on the walls and ceiling causing cracks and holes in the plaster. There was a wire sticking out of the wall. The key card had to be reprogrammed 3 times to work properly. The pool was closed, which could have been told during the reservation, it had a small amount of water in it that was green and the area was being used as storage. There were dead bugs in the pool room windows and looked filthy. The area was sketchy as well.

We had trouble with the card entering the room every time, when we were ready to leave the card didn't work at all. Had to get 2 different people to help from the desk to get our door open. The room could of been swept better. I wouldn't stay here again, members of the family were in a different part of the hotel and it was better.
