Best Hotels near Mantha Park, Ottawa

This hotel is easy to access from the core of Orleans. It was clean, quiet and well priced for what you get. The breakfast offered during the week wasn’t extremely appealing, it’s basically a small bonus to the booking. Overall 4/5

As luck would have it, I booked the stay on the day the wildest rain storm in a decade hits Ottawa. I reached the hotel at 8PM that evening and found a pitch dark building with absolutely no lights. The front desk still checked me in manually and assigned the rooms on the top floor for me. Having no power, I had to haul all my luggage five floors up the stairs with no emergency lighting and stuffy stale air. Here are all the bad: - The property has NO backup generator, they only have a few handheld flashlights - Battery operated emergency stairwell lights are ALL not working, they end up leaving flashlights pointed upwards on the floor - No ventilation, no gym, no pool, windows doesn't open, no hot water, no working elevators, no wifi, doubt the smoke detectors are still working (this is a death trap situation) The Good: - Joanne at the font desk handled the situation with aplomb. totally unfazed by the difficult and annoyed guests. The technician who opens the room doors for us needs a mention as well. Calm, friendly and cool - Power returned around 7AM the next morning, they were able to serve up a decent breakfast. Appreciate that. Due to the fact there are no backup generators (to rub salt to the wound, the fitness complex next doors has full lighting and air con with their diesel generator humming away nicely way into the night), I would certainly not be choosing this venue in the future.

I rarely stay in hotels however I came to Ottawa to celebrate a kilometerstone (milestone for Americans ;-) birthday and decided to splurge a little. I was able to talk a friend into coming with me. I first saw this hotel on TripAdvisor, went to their own website and found I could book 4 nights for $119/nt. I spent about an hour looking around some of the big Internet travel sites and found the exact room promoted on one of them for $89! I called the hotel and asked if they price matched. After about 10min of them looking online to find the promo I was looking at, the shift supervisor approved the match! I had to agree to pay for all 4 nights whether I used them or not. I didn't care because I was coming! The location is GREAT, next to TransCanada/417 highway. That was very convenient as I had to drive to Carp the next morning and that was the highway I used. I was on that expressway 2 minutes after leaving the hotel! Check in was fast and efficient. The person checking me in was confused when I told her I was on a $89 promo, she had not heard about it but eventually found some notes on my reservation in the computer. Even though there was free parking, I wanted to leave the car at the hotel most days and take public transit downtown. I had heard even with the government shut down, parking was scarce and expensive in the city center. On check in I happened to ask how close a bus stop was to take us downtown as I wanted to do the double deck Grayline tour on Sunday and Monday. The desk clerk said I didn't need to take the city bus as the double deck bus picked up their guests every morning at 9am at the hotel! BONUS! I'm glad I asked. Our room was on the fourth floor and included two very comfortable Queen beds with 7” mattresses and fluffy comforters, a very nice bathroom, 40” LCD TV, small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. They also had WiFi that worked great! There was only one ceramic cup and one plastic cup for the first night, we would have liked two ceramic cups but it was too late to call down and ask. Both my friend and I noted how quiet the surroundings were. Almost the entire floor had booked rooms for two nights but we didn't hear much noise. Also, we were on the back side of the hotel not facing the street or highway so that may have contributed to it. If I were to return, I would ask for a first floor room on the same side of the hotel as each had direct access to the parking lot. Although the room was very clean and comfortable, there were not enough electrical plugs and the only available one to plug in my cell phone and computer was so worn out that the cables would not stay in the plug. I always bring extra cables, I had a long extension that ran from near the head of my bed to the table at the other end of the room. Without it, I would not have been able to charge my devices. One thing that would help is a USB hub of some sort on the night table - maybe a hotel lamp with USB hub built in. That would hav

my original review is at the bottom, because Tripadvisor does not allow edits to reviews or updates (seems ridiculous to not have that feature) I wanted to update. Review is still not perfect as they are still doing renovations and the actual exp I had but once renovations are done this will be a great place to stay 5 stars. management contacted me and was very apologetic about the stay and offered wonderful incentives to make up for the experience I had. they are very open and fair and will try to do the right thing to correct a situation. should you experience something unfortunate at this hotel know that management will take it seriously and truly cares about making things right. I now trust this place completely and feel comfortable knowing anyone I direct here will have their expectations met. I can't mention enough about the staff! Other hotels should start poaching these employees or figure out the training they go though or management techniques. It is NOTICABLE how switched on and caring the staff is. You'll have to go to find out what amazing staff this place has they truly make you feel welcome and seem truly happy to be working there. -original review After a long drive to get to a hotel room that has a horrible musty smell is one thing that could be tolerated. I’m not a fancy person and was debating if I could just deal but when my partner stepped on some spikes from the carpet that was enough to be done. The protector ***** that normal places have from the room to the bathroom tile was missing. Further to that I scraped my hand on one of the exit doors that had some rusty metal from previous holes that were made in it. I would not think this place is safe for kids at all based on how much danger seems to be everywhere. If you must book considering they were doing renovations demand that you are put in a renovated room or don’t go. Fine if desperate to not sleep in your car but it literally is the bottom of the scale of what one would expect from a hotel.

I liked pretty much everything about this hotel. Although it was a bit out of the way from downtown, the train station was within walking distance and Uber to downtown was sub-$15. The front desk team was great, and my upgraded suite was huge with a nice kitchenette. Underground parking was free and convenient as well. Breakfast was okay albeit a bit overpriced, and Courtyard’s new “Bistro” style was not my favourite, although to no fault of this particular hotel. Renovation has started on the higher floors and I have to say it’s definitely overdue for one, in fact this is the only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars - the current state of the rooms was just unacceptable in 2022. Once the renos are completed, this hotel will tick all the boxes for a 10/10 comment card.

I checked in with my students today, March 4th, at 3:45 pm today for one night stay and was told ros we booked were not ready and we waited 30 mins to get checked in. I went to the fitness center at basement and water bottle on drinking machine was empty, so I told staff to change water. He did take the water bottle and never came back with filled water bottle. I went back to my room at 416 to shower and found that draining the bath tub was blocked. So I called front desk and she told me that plumber would come to fix the drain. I waited for 30 mins and nobody showed up and I had to call again. 10 mins later, the guy came with a machine. He told me that he took out lots of hair and it would work and left. I took a shower 10 mins ago and found that water still sat without draining properly. It was almost midnight and I had to shower with water in the bath tub. Anyway, it was frustrating for the service. The facility is pretty new, but the service is really not up to the basic standard at all

It's a Comfort Inn, so a bare bones motels. But, during COVID-19 they have gone below bare bones.....which is impressive in itself! Room was clean and had a fridge, microwave, TV, Iron, Iron board, alarm clock, phone, 2 sets of towels, shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizer. Motel authorized $100 on my credit card for ”Amenities”.....LOL...... sorry you have no amenities, say it like it is a ”Damage Deposit”. What has changed is: They have coffee maker in the room, but no coffee. Sorry but not sure how COVID would be spread by making coffee in your room. No hairdryer in the room. The vending machine was almost empty. The air conditioner was HORRIBLE, no more than a fan and during a heat wave, this sucked! Couldn't sleep because it was so hot. No continental breakfast, but they do have a bagged breakfast of orange juice, yogurt and a cheap granola bar. This could be SO much better, there are bagged muffins and fruit that should be in the bag. The motel is within walking distance of the Lone Star restaurant which was great! Overall NOT impressed, and will suggest to the company not to book me here again.
