Would not stay again

This is a nice location but it is about the only good thing about it. Bathroom is small and no space for toiletries, the sink was leaning so you could not even put a toothbrush as it would roll down. Shower would get extremely hot or very cold, shower head leaked. Room was not cleaned well prior to our checkin as I found dried up french fries on the floor. If you don't smoke or have children, this is not the place for you as people are allowed to smoke on the balcony. There is also no sound proofing of any kind, you can hear screaming partiers in the middle of the night or some crazy band performance singing at 5:30 am. The room needs updating, old dresser, walls, chipping tile in the bathroom, everything shows sign of wear. No coffee machine in the room, one in the office but on off season it doesn't open till 9 am. Beds were not comfortable for me.

We chose the Rideau because of its location, as my husband has mobility issues. They were able to provide us with a wheelchair for his use for the duration of our stay at no charge. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. The only downfall was while housekeeping provided us with new towels everyday our bed was never made after check in. I’m sure this was just an oversight as they were great in every other aspect. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

This had to be one of the best customer service oriented places I have ever stayed at. The owner was very helpful and prompt with any and all issues, and an overall very personable individual. We had an issue our first night with the bar under the hotel partying with loud music until 2am and she got them to stop. That was a godsend with a 4 year old in tow. She even moved us up to the second floor and further away from the noise which was a huge help. My only real “issues” of you can call them that, was that the beds in neither room were not particularly comfortable and were quite noisy, and the water pressure. Other than that great experience and we’ll be back.

The owner, Chrissy, was very helpful - offered use of tools to fix my bike! The fact that the owner is even at the location (and working!) says a lot about the establishment. I have noticed a huge improvement in cleanliness over the past several years - I noticed that while wearing white socks in the room. The pool is in the sun all day long! The location is so convenient being right on the boardwalk. My only wish would be a hair blow dryer in the room. Definitely a great experience - my husband and I have been staying here for about 20 years now and it keeps getting better.
