The Business Inn
This is a nice budget hotel with great parking, but the WIFI wasn't the best. So plan accordingly if you need to take a work meeting etc. But the staff were great and I'd definitely recommend it :)

Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre
Check in laborieux. Mauvaise communication sur le prix a payer à l'arrivée. Quelqu un a ouvert la porte en soirée et ce ne pouvait pas être le ménage qui ne passe qu' aux 3 jours.

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

Les Suites Hotel Ottawa
Room was spotless! Everything was perfect in the room. We had reserved three rooms for the night and only one was ready at check in time. We ended up having to wait till after supper to get into the other rooms. That was a bit of a downer but overall everything else was superior!

Parc Omega
Beautiful pod, stunning views. Lots to do, food at the restaurant was excellent. The only thing I wish there was for a 5 start was a clock radio in the pool and wifi would have been perfect
