Stayed here just passing through Ottawa on my way to Pembroke. I booked my room with the hotel via Hotwire.com the same day as my stay. As such, I paid (relatively) peanuts for it and I couldn't have been happier. Average washroom but quite clean, save for the air conditioner unit which looked like it hadn't been cleaned or dusted...

I booked a room at the Chimo Hotel for May 29,2013. I was accompanying my 88 year old mother who was having a medical procedure at 7:00 am the next morning at a nearby hospital. Check in was after 3:00 pm and we arrived shortly after 3:00. After bringing in the luggage, walker, oxygen tank and getting my mother settled... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the years while on business trips. It used to be one of my favourite. However, this is no longer the case. The room that I got smelled moldy and the hotel looked run down. The staff was okay, but not like they once were, very friendly and upbeat. The only up... More

Booked travel too late, and normally would not have stayed here. Easy-to-find, free parking and breakfast. Nice size room, a little bit worn in places. Internet access useless in room (end of hall). Works fine in lobby. Housekeeping needs to work harder. Litter in hallway for a day, carpet shows remnants of a spill. Quiet area, but limited restaurants nearby.... More

Thi hotel was completely booked as were most in the area for this busy Ottawa weekend (soccer tournament, marathon and family reunions). For $111.25 (special) we had a king room on the 9th floor. The room was very clean and had new carpet, new furnishings, a very comfortable bed and a flat screen TV. There was a mini fridge, coffee,... More

I wasn't very keen on booking this hotel due to mediocre reviews but I am glad I did. It was a 10 min drive from downtown for a saving of 50% plus free parking. Checked in at 11pm, was upgraded free of charge to a king size bed. The room including the bathroom was clean (This was my biggest concern... More

If you aren't looking for anything special this place is fine. Its a bit of a drive to get into downtown but if you can put up with that and are just looking for a cheap place to sleep, you'll do fine. The rooms are a bit dated but nice enough and clean. Don't be fooled by the lobby, they've... More

Chimo Hotel is well located so far as shopping is concerned, its rooms are somewhat clean. We had to ask for soap, there was none. And we were expecting a free breakfast, which turned out to be $40 for three of us, and the price was definitely not justified. And when I asked the waiter for free breakfast. He simply... More

The Chimo hotel is conveniently located across from the St. Laurent Centre Mall. The lobby looks quite grand, so I was totally shocked when we got to our floor and encountered stained, foul-smelling carpeting. The room temperature was uncomfortably hot and I didn't know where the temperature control was. Finally discovered the control panel the second day. The breakfast buffet... More
