Good little bed and breakfast, easy 20-30 min walk to sites to see and close to canal which is a beautiful walk to take. Staff are polite and welcoming. Depending on the room you are assigned the bathroom and toilet might be in the hallway near the room but are very clean easily accessible. Very close to dinning options about a 5 min walk away, very quiet area to stay.

The inn was good not great, and the breakfasts were disappointing--some hot food (other than toast) would have been good. I don't feel I got my money's worth.

I had a 10-day stay at the Rideau Inn, and was impressed by how well run it is. The room, bathroom and common areas were kept exceptionally clean, and you could see a great deal of care had gone into their arrangement - the provincial themes for each room are also a nice touch. Lucie the manager is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended overall!
