I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort, cleanliness and convenience while staying at the Rideau Heights Hotel. Though it is not fancy or expensive, it’s very well maintained, the service staff is excellent, and they were ready and willing to help with any issues or questions. It’s a no nonsense hotel at an affordable price and I’d stay here again without question.

The breakfast was mostly sugary junk, and when I complained, they did not serve anything on the second day. The phone in the room had a broken ringer, so i did not know when i got calls. Poor way to treat an elderly blind woman.

Everything was great except wifi. Wifi was low quality (as displayed by both Android and iOS) and wpould disconnect often. Except for receiving an emergency WhatsApp call from overseas we did not really need the wifi. The room telephone was missing in Room 17 but again as we did not need to call, it did not matter.

Location is very good and quiet. Both staff members (male and female) I dealt with were very friendly, polite and respectful. My late arrival was no problem to receive perfect service. In my room, toilet height (too low) is for children and shorter people, not for people over 5'7". Wall socket (next to bed) has two outlets, one for lamp and one for clock radio. Cell phone has to be charged at different location away from the bed. Overall cleanliness was very good. Rideau Heights Inn is definitely recommended to stay overnight

The front desk woman, a university student, was very friendly and helpful with directions. It was nice to see her smiling face each morning as to got our breakfast. The variety of foods for breakfast were appreciated. The front desk area was too small when shared as a breakfast preparation area. It would have been nice to have some tables there. Overall, it was a nice, clean motel that served it purpose at a reasonable price.

The room was very clean with plenty of plugs for recharging devices. We loved the easy access to our vehicle, excellent water pressure, comfortable bed, the free parking & simple breakfast. Due to poor communication with Expedia, we accidentally overstayed by 1 day, but when we returned to our room that evening, hotel staff were only kind and understanding. I was dubious when we first arrived to check-in as the pot-holes and flickering “office” sign made me wonder if the place was a dive. But we would absolutely stay here again and recommend it with enthusiasm.
