Hello I just wanted to say that for my past five visits to Ottawa we have stayed at the Adams Airport Inn, why because the staff is friendly always gives great directions to where we need to go, quiet and respects our requests with no hassle or extra charges like the play pen . 2008-2011 I think they deserve a pat on the back. Thank you
