Unsavory people hanging around lint and parking lot, two guys drinking beer by their car in parking lot from 9pm until 2AM, check- in was extremely slow both times, we inquired ahead and were told on the phone that we could definitely leave our rental car in parking lot for few days, but then were told No when we checked in, had to make a fuss and plead with them and eventually they changed their mind.

I would like to commend the front desk staff for handling a tough situation on Sept 12th, with no FOM, Duty Manager, or GM on hand with new employees on a busy Friday night...Also would like to say that Anne in the restaurant is phenominal at what she does. Do not loose her, she is a gem to the establishment.

Best Western Plus Ottawa City Centre was located in the convenient location for me to help my child move into university. Shoppers Drug Mart across the street was open for 24 hours and saved her time to buy some stuff she forgot to bring from home. The room was nice and clean, and very quiet. After a long day, I was able to take a good rest.
