“The Business Inn strikes me as a practical choice in Ottawa, especially for those needing extended-stay facilities; fully equipped kitchens in every suite and laundry access are smart, money-saving amenities. Its location near Parliament Hill is a definite plus, and I noticed it's also earned 'Best Value' nods, which likely reflects the hotel's all-inclusive rate structure-a welcome change from other downtown options.
