How did I miss this review?! Easy. I simply did…read more This morning, I received an e-mail to change my password on hotwire.com. After making my change, I looked at past bookings and found ByWard Blue Inn. I was last in Ottawa in November 2015. I got a pretty good deal staying here for a week at just over $500 with tax. I recall looking at the definition of the hotel's kitchenette before I drove to Ottawa, which was different from my own. It didn't have a stove. As a result, I brought my electric food pot on my trip, which allows you to heat up soup and such. It does have a fridge, microwave, sink, and coffee maker in each room. I drove from Markham to Ottawa. It wasn't difficult finding this hotel. The big blue sign was easy to spot. I parked outside for a brief moment, hauled my rolling computer bag and small suitcase up a flight of carpeted stairs, and checked in. My check-in took some time. Someone was ahead of me. Luckily, I wasn't rushed. The woman checking me in was friendly and thorough with the instructions. I was handed my room key and took the elevator to get to my room. The room was minimalistic. I loved it. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had everything that I needed and worked well. The wifi was excellent. I enjoy fixing myself breakfast and snacks when I have a decent room. I had bought mushroom perogies one day and made them for dinner using my electric pot. I was happy. I parked in the city-run parking lot next door. Prices were cheap to me. Then again, I am used to inflated downtown Toronto parking rates. Hotel staff got to know me. One was impressed that I brought food and made meals. Hey, when I am on the road, I like to feel like it's my home away from home. The hotel also provided a complimentary bottle of water. It was a nice touch. Location-wise, this hotel is in ByWard Market, which I never fully got to know until I stayed smack in the middle of everything. I walked everywhere. It's pretty close to everything imaginable, which is what a tourist like me welcomes! Hotwire is tempting me to stay here again. When I return to Ottawa, I probably will. (195)

Check in was a bit slow but everything else was quite good. Room was nice, adequate size with a…read morelittle balcony. Bathroom was very good, with enough water pressure for a decent shower. There's a kitchenette with a coffee maker and a small refrigerator/freezer. Wi-Fi was not an issue. Parking is in a small garage down below and it costs extra. Breakfast was fair. Hotel has an elevator. BBI is located near the ByWard Market and within walking distance of Parliament Hill, so there are maybe hundreds of places to eat in the area, and lots of sites to see. Neighborhood is a bit gritty but I had no hassles. Seems to be the cannibus quarter.

The rooms are lovely with all the amenities that you might need and the breakfasts are wonderful: eggs benedict, banana pancakes, homemade waffles with cinnamon apple compote and fresh fruit. Christine is very helpful from finding just the right restaurant for dinner to great sight-seeing tips, to having off-street parking available. We came for the Ottawa Marathon and the Avalon B&B made the stay perfect. Can't wait for the next one!

Really enjoyed our stay this past weekend at Moonstone Manor!…read more This B&B is located in a large, newly renovated home. There are three guest suites each meant for two adults, so at any given time there are at max 6 adult guests. Combined with being out in the country, this means that it is nice and QUIET! A rare and refreshing quality. There are many things to praise but I cannot continue without mentioning that Susie and Mark, the owners, are the best asset of this business. They are both incredibly welcoming, hospitable, and attentive, while also being conscious of giving you space as a guest to do your thing. Upon checking in, Susie sat down with us to discuss breakfast. She is careful to note any allergies or aversions, and to review the menu in advance! We were able to schedule our breakfast for any time between 7-9am. Breakfast itself was generous and more importantly, delicious! We had yogurt with fruit and homemade granola, quiche, potatoes, a stuffed tomato, juice, and all the coffee we could drink. The last thing I want to focus on is that this house is remarkably CLEAN. Susie and Mark have two friendly, quiet dogs and two cats, but unless you are looking right at them you'd never know it. I am actually allergic to dogs and cats, and had zero reaction during my two night stay. In her past Susie worked in a healthcare field and it shows...this is one of the cleanest houses I've ever been in. But it did not feel sterile and cold, quite the opposite. I happened to be visiting for a wedding in Kanata but I will happily stay at Moonstone Manor anytime I need to be in the Ottawa area. It's a quick 20 minute drive downtown to the ByWard Market/Parliament/National Gallery/etc. I can't see myself ever getting a hotel in the city knowing that this is an option. All that to say, if you are thinking of staying here, do it!

I needed a place of QUIET, and the room was a refuge from my normal noisy, unpredictable, and less than hospitable residence. As an oasis , the Holiday Inn in Orleans is wonderful, and I treated every second of Peace, and Quiet, as though it was my last! - I would recommend this Hotel as a great StayCation for anyone who needs a break from the hustle and bustle of a typical hectic life! / From the second my head hit the pillow , until my alarm went off, I enjoyed a complete sleep - something otherwise very rare. The wide screen TV and the Wi-Fi remained unused, since I was after "peace". -The washroom was squeeky clean, new, and well appointed. - Because of Covid, the magnificent legendary breakfast was not available, and I look forward to returning, once life gets back to normal. - In the evening, I received a text from the front desk asking if all was well - and it was, just that. - friendly efficient staff, well furnished rooms- all-in-all just a great place. - highly recomended.

Henry Ford said that, "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it…read moreis black." And at the Bella Notte B&B, you can have your breakfast any time you want, as long as it is between 8:00 and 9:00. My fiance and I have stayed in a few B&B's and while the turn of the century house is well kept, the rooms nice, and the breakfast good, nothing really stands out as being exceptional, especially seeing as it was the most expensive place we've stayed. The owner was a touch overbearing compared with other B&Bs we have frequented. Her hovering made the stay somewhat awkward for us and we felt sorry for the nice people from Germany who were also staying there, too polite to extricate themselves from the optionally mandatory 8:30 Sunday breakfast like we did.

Is Loom Bistro the best restaurant outside (or inside) Ottawa?…read more Yup, it might be. It's our 2nd time at Loom Bistro inside this lovely little B&B and it proved that the first time wasn't a fluke. This was another spectacular scrumptious playfully delicious meal. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. The blue cheesecake with crostini and fig jam was out of this world. As unique a tasting cheese appetizer as I've ever had. The empanadas were fresh and lovely. The short rib was moist as moist can be...the bacon topped bread pudding along side it was perfection. The fresh pasta with wild boar was delectable and mild but complex and superb. Both desserts were splendid and paired perfectly. The very sweet chocolate cake and the more creamy tart cheesecake. With 2 glasses of wine and 20% tip it was $150. Worth every penny and then some. Kudos to the chef...show yourself and take a bow. The hotel is great (please put some curtains in the judges chamber...!!) We love our quarterly staycation here. Rob the innkeeper is super friendly and responsive. Highly highly recommend.

The innkeeper, Rob, greeted me warmly and carried my bag up to my room -- spacious, clean, bright, with a magnificent river view. Such a gorgeous building. Staff all very friendly. Restaurant to die for. First night the exquisitely talented Chef Hunter served me salmon that had been smoked over maple chips and basted with a maple glaze. Superb wine list. Second night was a steak salad with the most flavorful tomatoes I have ever tasted. Fresh herbs from their garden garnish most dishes. And sensational desserts! Breakfasts were amazing: you request a time to have your choice of coffee delivered to your room and then a half hour later, you saunter into the restaurant where your breakfast is waiting - first day I had coddled eggs (absolute perfection) with buttery, crunchy toast fingers, and the next I ordered shirred eggs. My stay was flawless. If I could make one recommendation, it would be to have a hair dryer in the room. Cannot wait to recommend to visiting friends and relatives.
