Adam’s Airport Inn

Adam’s Airport Inn Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled into Adam’s Airport Inn, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star place on Bank Street. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages. The parking situation alone won me over immediately — free spots right on site, which is honestly a godsend in Ottawa where downtown parking can cost you an arm and a leg. The building itself has this unpretentious, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like you’re staying somewhere people actually care about their guests.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s the thing about Bank Street — it’s one of those spots that locals know is perfectly positioned, even if it doesn’t scream tourist hotspot. You’re close enough to the airport that you won’t stress about early flights, but far enough into the city that you can actually explore Ottawa properly. I mean, couples consistently rate this location nearly 9 out of 10, and after spending time here, I get why. There’s something about being on a real street with actual businesses and cafes nearby, rather than stuck in some sterile hotel district.

The Room Experience

My room was exactly what I needed — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up without any unnecessary frills. The beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the whole space feels like someone actually considered how real travelers use hotel rooms. What struck me most was how quiet everything was, despite being on a fairly busy street. The repeat guest rate here is apparently much higher than most places, and honestly, after one stay I could see myself becoming one of those regulars.

Breakfast Worth Getting Up For

Now, the breakfast situation here is actually impressive — they’ve got everything from continental basics to full English options, plus they’re surprisingly good with dietary restrictions. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free — they’ve thought it through. But what I really appreciated was the “breakfast to go” option, because let’s face it, sometimes you need to grab something and run. The buffet setup is well-organized without feeling chaotic, and the quality is definitely above what you’d expect for a three-star property.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something refreshingly straightforward about this place that just works. It’s not trying to be fancy or trendy — it’s just focused on doing the basics really, really well. The staff clearly knows what they’re doing (probably because so many guests come back), and there’s this sense that they’ve figured out what travelers actually need versus what hotels think they want. For the price point and the genuine quality of service, Adam’s Airport Inn feels like one of those rare finds where you get more than you pay for.
