I've seen the other reviews, and it seems possible that some of these folks may be mental or perhaps just unlucky. I've stayed at the Monterry Inn more than once. I was there in Nov, 08, Dec 08, Feb. 09, April 09 and recently July 09 and don't have any complaints. The rooms a clean and neat. Its pretty obvious... more

I read the reviews but I didn't listen... A lot said that the place was run down and that the staff tended to lose cancellations or cancel them altogether. Well...they were all right. I spoke with them when I booked for a good half hour before booking. What was important to me was the balcony. I wanted a GREAT view... more

On the way to the room, we pass by the kitchen door and it stinks a lot. There are lots of garbages everywhere, apples, bottles and broken glass. There are stinking garbage can without tops near principal doors. By the way, these garbage cans are for indoor use not for an outside use. An ugly maintenance cart is left by... more

Well...let's see. For the price of the stay I will definitely seek something else next time I'm in the area. Driving a little extra ways is worth it if it means getting a good night's sleep. The walls are paper thin and the doors that adjoin between rooms do not help prevent the noise. There was a very 'active' couple... more

We stayed in a king suite at the Monterrey Inn for thee nights in July/08. There are very few alternatives for accommodation in this part of Ottawa so the room rate was very high, considering the condition of the property. That said, and despite booking a month in advance, they were fully booked and we had to settle on a... more

I stayed at the Monterey for about 2 weeks for work and then was moved to the new Days Inn in Ottawa. At first I was pleased with the idea of moving to a newer hotel. The Monterey was great...staff are friendly and very efficient, the rooms are clean and I had a great view of the river. But come... more

We just returned from a 4 night stay at the Monterey Inn Resort in Ottawa. The grounds were nice, but some areas were under construction - so the view out our window wasn't exactly picturesque. Swimming pool and fitness centre were fine, but needed a different key to get into the fitness centre and we were not told when we... more

We have stayed at this resort a few times on visits to Ottawa with satifactory results, however on our last stay we found the room to be a little run down and not as clean as we would have it. In our opinion it was not worth paying five star prices for a two star room. With Ottawa growing at... more

We booked hotel rooms for a wedding and had a signed contract and everything yet the hotel decided to give our rooms away to someone else and we are still trying to resolve this issue. A complete disaster as all our guests are being refused rooms which we had reserved 6 months in advance. Stay away from this place! more
