Each room includes a refrigerator, microwave, and tea and coffee maker. Some rooms feature a dinette table for two and a comfortable seating area. All rooms have free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and safes. Private bathrooms come with free toiletries, and some include bathtubs.

On-site dining

Café 1274 Bar and Grill serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with made-from-scratch dishes like beer-battered fish. The adjoining lounge has a pool table, fireplace seating, and large-screen TVs. Guests can choose from several breakfast options, and the bar offers a variety of cocktails and appetizers.

Pool and fitness

The hotel has a seasonal outdoor pool and a fitness center. The business center is open 24 hours, and complimentary parking is available. Meeting spaces cover 2,000 square feet, accommodating groups from 5 to 150 guests.

Near museums and parks

The hotel is in Nepean, home to three ice arenas and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. It's a 5-minute drive from the Canadian War Museum and a 10-minute drive from Parliament Hill. The Rideau Canal and Fletcher Wildlife Garden are within 3.5 km. Carling Avenue provides easy access to Highway 417.

Services and accessibility

The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in and check-out. Facilities for disabled guests are available, along with concierge and wedding services. The complimentary business center includes printing. Free Wi-Fi is accessible in public areas and rooms.

“The Best Western Plus Ottawa City Centre strikes me as a smart choice, particularly for travelers who appreciate a bit more space and self-sufficiency with those convenient kitchenettes. While it's near enough to Ottawa's main attractions, the hotel itself fosters a relaxed atmosphere, with an on-site restaurant and even billiards. It seems well-suited to both families and business travelers seeking a comfortable, eco-conscious stay without the downtown price tag.”
