I got stuck in the elevator- the front desk man brushed it off as if it was nothing. Terrible and unsafe- I didn't know if I was going to be stuck for an hour or plummet to my death. Worse place I've stayed in.

This was a very pleasant stay with one exception, but first the good stuff. Extremely clean, newly renovated room with fridge, microwave, k-cup type coffee maker, comfy bed, quiet aircon/heat. A laundry room is available, as are vending machines. Friendly and efficient desk and house-keeping staff. Now for the not-so-good stuff. The breakfast room, located in the basement, is well-stocked and clean, but small for the size of the hotel. The bad part is the quality of the food provided and specifically, the steam table items. The scrambled eggs were the type that pour out of a container and into shaped cups, and had little flavour. The sausages were very dry and had an odd flavour and texture. Finally, there were these other things and I honestly don't know what they were - they looked like they might be potato patties but they were chewy and the flavour was indestinguishable. I ended up having packaged boiled eggs from the fridge and a bagel for the rest of my stay.

This is a budget hotel. But it is conveniently located, close to an LRT & bus station, and a mall. The hotel was well maintained, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the hotel quiet. I had a good night sleep, no slammed doors by other guest and no noise from outside, despite the hotel not being too far from a highway. The hotel has plenty of parking and is free. If you are on a budget, I recommend this hotel.

Stayed here several years ago while the place was being redecorated. Room decor is quite modern in shades of gray. Bathroom has a large shower instead of a bathtub but only has a glass panel without a door so water can splash out onto the floor. Shower head can't be angled down to prevent this. Breakfast buffet has a good selection of items both hot and cold. Daily housekeeping is provided. The usual room amenities are provided as well. Bed is comfortable. Within a short walk to one of the city's malls which has a Light Rail station attached so you can take it to downtown Ottawa and avoid the traffic. Would recommend.

Rooms are super comfortable, clean and cheerful. Nice to have a table and chairs and the Keurig and microwave are a nice touch. Roads around the hotel are under construction so that's a bit of a pain but not the hotel's fault and only temporary. Easy access to shopping, restaurants and highways. A short 14 minutes to downtown. Staff are friendly and professiknal

We were on a budget and the Welcominns was perfectly priced and met all of our needs. Front desk service was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and obviously recently renovated. We had a room on the back of the dirt floor which gave us a second door, to the parking lot, so we could park right by our room. The breakfast was fine-typical free breakfast with eggs, meat, waffles, toast, yogurt, etc… The only amenity that we were missing was a full length mirror in our room. Highly recommend for those that aren’t looking for something “bougie”.

The staff was very accommodating and courteous. The facility was clean, and I also liked the breakfast. The only downside was that there was construction going on around the property, so it was noisy at times. Also, someone was arguing some doors down, and I could hear the person as if this person were in my room.

Nice place, the only major issue is ongoing construction that makes it a bit challenging to get to, but that is not the fault of the hotel. In the room, the only issues were a slow drain in the bathroom sink, and a dirty bathroom vent grill that impeded exhaust of steam significantly. These are easily fixed and were pointed out to the desk staff who said they will follow up. A very comfortable stay

I was actually surprised they served breakfast, including some hot foods. The room came equipped with a fridge and microwave and two bottles of water so you don’t have to use the sink to fill the Keurig coffee pot. You can walk to many restaurants, including the Lonestar attached to the parking lot and the St. Laurent mall is a four minute walk. Great spot!
