Reviews of McGee's Inn 3 stars

Lots of period charm. Excellent decoration. Wonderful breakfast.

The decor was very nice and felt like grandma's day.

Although the city center is within walking distance, the route through various homeless hotspots isn't suitable for everyone. Several ladies look after the accommodation with little competence. It's normal for staff to make mistakes, but to rudely and arrogantly make this the guest's problem is the lowest form of service (unacceptable). The staff were sometimes difficult to reach, and the owner clearly doesn't care.

Lovely old Victorian town house, lovely staff good breakfast

Lots of homeless people in the area

A perfect base for exploring Ottawa. Easy to find and there is parking for a small fee. We received a free room upgrade and the room exceeded all our expectations. Super comfy bed, fantastic bathroom and really quiet at night. The whole building is beautiful, with lots of history. East to walk to all the main attractions. Free tea and coffee available 24/7 and a cooked breakfast was a lovely treat. Would highly recommend.

Accommodation was very nice and cozy. Feel like at home. A lot of nice details from past and feel like in warm granny house.

Nothing

This lovely inn exceeds expectations in so many ways. Great location, walkable to all the major sights in downtown. The glorious and curious prints, objects, and unique furnishings are what make the historic inn charming, comforting, but never too much. Add in the delicious breakfast and delightful staff, and the place is an absolute winner.

Absolutely nothing!

Large room with comfortable bed. Good shower and toiletries. Staying at the Inn is an enjoyable step back in time to the Victorian era. The staff are very friendly and helpful and once you are checked in, it’s easy to come and go as you please. Hot food is served at breakfast and the menu changes slightly each day. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the Rideau transit station and 20 minute walk to Parliament Hill along one straight road.,The Byward Market is a 10 minute walk with lots of eating options. I enjoyed my stay here.

There are a lot of homeless, drug addicted street people in the area and on the streets near the inn.

Great house with history idea for downtown and o train.

Although nothing the hotel could do about it there appears to be a number of drug dependent individuals in the local area, and this was bit disquirting as we arrived on foot, but we soon realised they were there for local community centre and churches and we were not hassled at all.

excellent location, very convenient car parking, nice garden, very good breakfast

steep/long stairs to second floor, without any help for our luggage

Excellent breakfast cooked fresh for you Easy to walk to centre Room nice and clean Quiet

No staff available after 6 pm If you are not good with stairs ask for downstairs room as 3 storeys high no lift as old property

I loved the ambience, the home touch, very much a bed and breakfast feel. Everything was tastefully done with a personal touch.

In room 15, room above was noisy till after midnight. Can hear people moving around above.

Quaint old inn in heart of Ottawa

Location

The location is excellent for tourists in Ottawa. We stayed four nights. When I realized that I could make requests at breakfast, for a fruit bowl and for a glass of milk then I enjoyed my 3rd and 4 th breakfasts much more.

The room was too hot initially but then we asked for the heat pump to be fixed and we were fine.

Good location, walkable to Byward Market and Parliament and surrounds. Parking onsite for only $10. Very good included breakfast. Beautifully decorated with old fashioned collectables and antiques. No coffee facilities in room, you have to go downstairs but can access the coffee machine and jug for tea making in the dining area at any time.

The lack of tea/coffee facilities in room. Noisy fellow guests talking and laughing loudly in one of the rooms with a verandah til well after midnight and we were directly above so little sleep our first night. There didn't seem to be a quiet time curfew unlike most guesthouses.
