    Good location, lots of character and a great breakfast. This definitely beats staying in a standard hotel.


    A beautiful B&B in the heart of Ottawa

    We had a great stay at Auberge McGee's Inn. The room (#16) was big and beautiful, with a nice bathroom, and a fireplace (self-burning log included). The Inn itself is within walking distance of many sights, we were able to visit the Byward Market, the Rideau Canal, Parliament Hill, and the Rideau Centre, all in one day. We would definitely stay there again.


    Belle aventure!!

    Une gigantesque et superbe demeure qui en impose avec un passé historique surprenant. Une amie de la famille Armstrong nous a reçu comme de la parenté. Les propriétaires étant en vacances. Si les Armstrong sont aussi avenant et cordiaux que Madame Chantal, n'allez pas à Ottawa sans réserver chez McGee's!! ;-)

    I booked my stay for the wrong, day, and I called them up on the day that I booked, (the wrong day) and asked to change the date. They looked up the date I wanted to stay, and they were able to make the change, and I WAS NOT CHARGED EXTRA!!! :) I was very happy with the room and everything was clean. The location is very close to the market, and we were able to park and walk to dinner and then the theater without any issue. I do like to eat, and the breakfast was very very very good, I would have like to have more, but was not given the option. This would be my one small complaint. It was my first B&B ever, and I would give them my business again when I go back to Ottawa. Thanks, Amanda & Justin from KW

    My wife and I had a great stay at Mcgees Inn . The owners were extremely friendly and the room was nicely decorated . Each of the rooms has their own style .. An employee showed us a few that were vacant . I recommend number 16 . The breakfast was delicious .. There is no doubt our next stay in Ottawa will be there.
