What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Gatineau - Ottawa by IHG, travellers consistently highlight clean, modern spaces, friendly front desk staff, and a convenient location near shops and a short drive to Ottawa attractions, delivering solid value overall.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, though some guests report noise from hallways or nearby roads, HVAC hum, and weak shower pressure or temperature control. Breakfast quality is generally good, but variety and replenishment can lag during busy periods, and gluten free choices are limited. Facilities feedback is mixed: the small indoor pool is often cold or temporarily closed, EV chargers are few or not working, and the modest gym or laundry can show maintenance issues, while parking is easy and free. Overall, expect a clean, convenient base with good value and occasional hiccups.

Tjrs offer one Tesla charger and two regular ev chargers but they’re not free. Actually, they’re more expensive that charging at home. It would be nice to have them included in the hotel rate like other hotels do.

Nice modern and clean hotel, well situated, free parking and close to shops. Free buffet breakfast a plus. To bad that the pool was not open, explanation was that the liner was damaged and that repairs were underway, but not possible to foresee when it would be reopened! Understandable. Hotel is quite busy. Many sports teams choose it for it’s convenience as it’s very close to arenas and a major sports center.

The hotel is situated in a quiet area close to a mall and other amenities. Downtown Ottawa is a short car ride away, which makes the location very convenient. The free on-site parking is a huge bonus. The room was clean and spacious enough for us. The breakfast offers various options, although it would be great to have non-dairy milk for coffee. It was great to use the coin laundry, although we had to pay twice to dry our clothes properly. I was disappointed with the gym, though. Both treadmills and one of the ellipticals were broken, which made it difficult for me to do my runs at night. The floor under the treadmill and the baseboards need to be cleaned.

La préposée à l’accueil est d’ailleurs allée avertir les cabochons qui ont cessé leur opération nettoyage. Le gym de l’hôtel était aussi parfait et complet! Bravo! Nous reviendrons!

I love IHG and try to stay at their locations every where I travel. I recommend them but this location was a big disappointment. Fingernails and little pieces of what looked like kleenex everywhere. When room service did the room, they just pulled the sheets, didnt bother making the bed! They did not sweep the room at all! The nails, kleenex, etc stayed there. We asked for new towels and got back dirty towels with what seemed like earwax on them. The venting system was super loud, like sleeping beside a running mac truck. Very disappointed. I always give this chain great reviews, this hotel is old, rndown and needs some TLC and staff training.

Wish the suites had a door option to separate the rooms. This is a huge value add for families with young children. Our room was massive but the open concept defeats the purpose of a “suite”. Now that I know, why pay extra when it’s one open space and not a bedroom vs. 2 queen beds in one space and I can save money. Breakfast was fantastic!!!

We did a late check-in after a 10-hour drive. The process was quick, but as soon as we got to the room we realized the AC wasn’t working. The receptionist came to check and then asked her colleague for help. It was pretty clear they had no idea what the issue was, but they stayed in the room trying for about 10 minutes. When they couldn’t fix it, they told me the hotel was fully booked and might have a fan for us—a fan, after a long drive in summer heat! I told her that was not an option. She then said she would need to call maintenance, but wasn’t sure how long it would take for someone to come and fix it. They also mentioned they had “no partnership” with other hotels, so transferring the booking wasn’t possible. Meanwhile, the other receptionist was trying to switch rooms, but suddenly “the system wasn’t working.” After about 40 minutes of waiting, a third staff member was able to make the switch. The new room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was very good, with plenty of tasty options. Overall, the property itself is nice, but the customer service has a lot of room for improvement. I could tell the receptionists were trying to do their job, but they didn’t seem to have much experience handling common situations like this. A bittersweet experience.

Basically it was a used room given to us , then we came down and complained about our check in . The receptionist was also confused about the room , but she was helpful and gave other room to us which was clean and beds were made . Secondly the pool was good but not enjoyed stay that much .

Great team and associates the rooms were cleaned daily very nice surprise. The breakfast was awesome. The only problem is this hotel is embedded in Gatineau and not easy to travel to Ottawa or the museums like claims on Hotel.com. Be prepared to be in traffic for at least 30min to get anywhere. Next time we will stay closer or in Ottawa. Even the associates had a chuckle at the claims of everything was 10-20 min away. They said that's at night with no traffic or construction. Be aware

Staying in Gatineau was slightly cheaper than staying in Ottawa and seemed a little safer. The hotel was decent, there was some mess on the hallway floor as we headed to our room at check-in but someone was cleaning within 5 minutes. Hotel was clean, staff was good, and the included breakfast was decent. There is a small pool that we made use of one afternoon. There is a large shopping mall nearby. Attractions in Ottawa are about a 15-20 minute drive away.

The check in was easy, great service at the hotel reception and the room was clean. The biggest opportunity for improvement is the breakfast. It was ok if you just stay for one night. The eggs in particular tasted artificials, not sure it was real eggs. Also they could try to bring some variety from one day to the other (for example, they always offer beans and sausages). No fruits or cheese. Breakfast juices are also very artificials and made from high sugar concentrates.
