Top Ottawa Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Ottawa Starved Rock Area

10/10 Excellent

"nice hotel, convenient to what we needed. Clean and comfortable"

Private 200-Acre Estate Near Starved Rock

10/10 Excellent

"The space was exactly what we needed for a bachelorette party of 12 people. The communal space was perfect for meals and games. It was actually larger than I expected from the photos. There were plenty of places for everyone to sleep comfortably. Everything was labeled for ease of use: switches, drawers, etc. The porch space was so beautiful and we loved gathering for s'mores around the fire pit. We did a float trip in Oglesby so we were beyond lucky to find such a perfect house close by. Ryan and Kiki were so easy to contact and quick to respond. Great experience overall!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ottawa by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"First time stay at Holiday Inn in Ottawa. The hotel was exceptional. It was so clean and fresh I thought it was newly opened but it’s their 7th year of operation. Breakfast buffet was exceptional, huge variety of food and excellent coffee. The room was great, very comfortable beds and lots of extras you don’t normally see. Highly recommend!"

Modern Cozy Retreat Near Starved Rock w/ King Bed

8/10 Good

"I wasn’t sure what to expect but Ottawa did not disappoint and we had such a stellar stay at this VRBO apartment! The rental was clean and every detail thought through to make our stay the best it could be. Carmen was very detailed and timely with all instructions and even stopped by to meet us (by coincidence). . We would totally stay here again! Also…starved rock was worth the walk!"

Great Location! Walking Distance to So Much!

8/10 Good

"The host, Kim, was accommodating and easy to communicate with. I asked for early check-in and later check-out (within reason), and since the place was not rented to others, she graciously accepted.The townhouse was clean and supplied with all the stated accessories. Perhaps, a little more dishwashing fluid and bathroom soaps would be great.The neighborhood was quite during our stay and the townhouse was conveniently located within a walking distance of downtown Ottawa.The only reason I rated it 4/5 was the kitchen cabinets and the doors to the 2nd floor bathroom and the closets were quite old, and some didn't work well. Bathroom door handle and lock need to be repaired."

Magnificent Riverfront Victorian House steps from downtown Ottawa !

10/10 Excellent

"The house was beautiful and in a great location. The history of the home and decor was amazing. I went here with my husband's side of his dad's family. There was 12 of us. Perfect number of rooms and beds for all of us. Beautiful view of the lake. There are 3 refrigerators, 4.5 baths, 2 laundry facilities, and 4 sitting areas. Only 1 bedroom on the main floor and the rest upstairs. I would like a way to go to the water from the backyard but it was fine. The view was spectacular. Need to know - temp needs to be set to 74 in the summer, strip all sheets from beds used before checking out, wash all loads over 3 (sheets and towels but wash separately), take all trash out. Other than making sure all laundry was done for the house, we all really loved staying at this house and hope to stay here in the future!!!If you are looking for a queit, relaxing, and tranquil place to stay, this house is perfect. I highly recommend this house as a place to stay near Starved Rock, IL."
