Petawawa River Inn & Suites

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 Water pressure in the shower was good, despite an outdated showerhead.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.
