Residence & Conference Centre - Ottawa West

The rooms were clean and functional. It was great to have two rooms, a common area/kitchenette and a washroom. Toiletries were included. The cost was so reasonable -- $75 in the Ottawa area for a "suite" basically. Unfortunately, we had to pay for parking but it was very reasonable ($5 for 24 hours). Algonquin College is just far enough away from the downtown to keep travelling around easy. College Park is close by with restaurants if wanted.

Best alternative to a hotel in the summer. Excellent rates: nightly, weekly and monthly. Great for families as their suites have two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a small kitchenette with a big fridge and a microwave. There are also two kitchens in each floor and laundry machines on the ground floor. It's a few steps from the College Square, where you could find restaurants, supermarkets and many other stores. The bus stop is right in front of the residence. The staff is friendly and helpful. I made a reservation using their website for 35 nights and stayed there for only 31 nights and they sent me a check of the remaining 4 nights.

My friend initially booked a suite for two weeks and when he had to extend his stay, they applied the monthly rate for him and he only paid the remaining amount hr owed them!

However, they could do better in terms of cleanliness. The carpets are old and most of the towels offered should be changed. Also one of the elevators was out of service the whole time and when the other one stopped working, we had to either carry the stroller and other shopping items up the stairs or make a long walk around the building to the other elevator!!

Although I did not stay at the residence I did book a family in for the long weekend on July 1st. I was greeted by friendly staff and was especially happy with the service I received from Jaye Rodgers your supervisor who was more then understanding of the situation this family was in and the need to have a place to stay over that long weekend. Not only was his service overwhelming but he also extended his services in the future if required again.
Service was excellent. Strongly recommend them again . A big thank you to all the staff involved.

A great option if you’re traveling on a budget. The rooms are clean and adequate for the price you pay. You’re given access to a full suite with a full kitchen and 2 separate bedrooms. It is advisable to bring your own dishes and utensils if you’re planning on cooking any meals in your room. Ample parking next to the facility.

I’d definitely recommend this place!
