Petawawa River Inn & Suites

Very clean and big rooms

The only problem for me was no elevator to third floor

Some updates needed, but clean and comfortable. Overall, this property is just okay. The beds are comfortable, and the room is spacious. However, there are a couple things to know: If you are drawn to this place because of the awesome views of the river, you should know that the only way it’s visible is from the deck of the restaurant (attached to the hotel). We stayed on the second floor. There’s no elevator, and the stairwell is dated (could use a fresh coat of paint and some professional cleaning). The room was clean, but the air conditioning is rather loud when it’s running.

Clean, basic, a bit dated The hotel is located at the outskirts of Petawawa. Even though it is near the river, it is not a feature. The hotel is part of the complex with a smorgasbord of various businesses and services: intercity bus stop, Purolator/FedEx shipping point, bar/nightclub, pizzeria, sandwich shop, laundry, convenience store, and I’m sure some other services. As a hotel guest you get 20% off on food at the bar and the sandwich shop. We stayed in room 102 with two queen beds. Everything inside was dated, but clean and well-maintained. There were a mini-fridge and a microwave in the room. Our view was a literal brick wall. The room also had Netflix and a DVD player (apparently not every room has those). Wi-fi was pretty reliable at 26 Mbps. A loud in-wall AC/heater was controlled by a thermostat. Water pressure in the shower was good, despite an outdated showerhead. Pro-tip: if the water in the tub starts to fill up too much, turn the stopper to drain water (there is a label on it to that effect). Being on the first floor results in a lot of cigarette smoke being ****** in from the outside through the doors, but the windows don't open. The first-floor hallway was also loud - higher floors might be quieter. No breakfast at the hotel, but there are a few options nearby, like Subway, within a walking distance. Be prepared to pay for your stay at check in.

The building seem unsafe

Great room for the price and location
