BEST WESTERN PLUS OTTAWA DOWNTOWN SUITES, Ottawa

The property sits in the heart of downtown Ottawa, a 15-minute walk north to Parliament Hill and the Byward Market, or south to the Glebe. The Canadian Museum of Nature is right next door. Numerous restaurants like Bramasole diner and Hanabi Japanese Cuisine are within a 5-minute walk, and a bus stop is just steps away, with convenient access to the 417 highway. The location offers easy access by bus to movie theatres and other entertainment venues, with service running until late.

Accommodation consists of modern, clean, and well-appointed suites, including one-bedroom apartments and studios. Each unit features a separate living room with a sofa bed, a kitchen equipped with a stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and coffee maker, and a dining area. Bedrooms offer comfortable, large beds with quality linens, blackout curtains for sleeping in, and ample closet space with hangers and luggage racks (no dressers). Suites include air conditioning, a sitting area, ironing facilities, a hairdryer, free toiletries, and an AM/FM alarm clock. Some units also feature a balcony and a bathtub. The sofa beds are firmer, so sharing the main bed is more comfortable for adults.

The hotel provides a continental breakfast option for purchase. However, the suites are designed for self-catering, with full kitchens including a stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and essential cookware. The surrounding area is rich with dining choices, including Bramasole diner, Hanabi Japanese Cuisine, The Whalesbone Bank Street, and Colonnade Pizza & Restaurant, all within a short walk. Local restaurants do tend to close early, so the in-suite kitchen is a practical option for later meals.

For relaxation and fitness, the property offers an indoor swimming pool, a sauna, and an exercise gym that is notably larger and better equipped than at many comparable hotels. A dedicated games room features foosball, ping-pong, and shuffleboard, making it a popular spot for families and groups. There are also comfortable lounge areas throughout the first floor, including some with limited power outlets.

The hotel provides a 24-hour reception, with a helpful and responsive staff. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Private, on-site parking is offered for 27 CAD per day, though spaces cannot be reserved. The building is secure, with locked front doors and keyless codes for entry. A business centre and laundry facilities are available for use, and wheelchair access is provided throughout.
