Clean but nonexistent breakfast.

Needs upgrading. The bed was OK but warned out. The pillows needed replacing at least 10 years ago. One of the reasons I booked this hottel is in the search they show a very lush breakfast. The breakfast they serve is virtual nonexistent. There is not even toast. And coffee is very poor. The only redeeming quality is that it is very clean and only 20 minutes from downtown.

If you love Schitts Creek you'll love the Rideau Heights Inn. It has the charm of the Rosebud Motel combined with the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in. The room was clean and the staff we're friendly. We will definitely be back.

A nice location not too far out of the city centre or the air port. The only issue I had was that the TV was not working properly, but other than that everything was as advertised.

Room was as described. It could use a little refresh (coffee table was broken and baby got bruises from screw on missing handle if cupboard). Otherwise, everything was good as a temporary stay for us.

Staff are professional. Facilities, while quite well maintained, are a bit dated and need a bit of updating. I found a constant droning sound in the bathroom a bit disturbing. But, overall, decent accommodation

Very nice!

We weren’t sure what to expect as it’s an older motel style property, but we were very pleasantly surprised! It’s located in a very quiet area, surrounded by trees, so it’s great if you’re looking for somewhere quiet but close to the airport and main thoroughfares. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities of a larger hotel. The price was right, and we would definitely stay here again!
