"Excellent Stay in a Great Location I had a wonderful stay at The Business Inn. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore Ottawa. The breakfast was complete, generous, and offered a great start to the day. The suite was very well equipped and comfortable, and the staff provided excellent service throughout my stay. Their attention and hospitality made the experience even better. The only area for improvement would be the mattresses, which could be a little more comfortable.
