Top hotels in Barrhaven
Hampton Inn & Suites Ottawa West
Breakfast was good, wooden utensils suck. I understand they replace plastic but just spoil the breakfast experience. I will make sure to bring my own.

The Business Inn
I have never been to a hotel before that has free laundry privileges as well as a fantastic choice for breakfast. Most importantly the staff were so helpful friendly and accommodating and you can’t beat the location in Ottawa.

Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre
Paid parking (not notified in advance). Breakfast is not included $16.99 buffet. Otherwise, location is great! 6 min drive from Parliament Hill. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff friendly. I would recommend it.

Cartier Place Suite Hotel
Clean room. Staff were very friendly. Hot tub and pool were clean. Pool towels are a bit on the small side. Room pillows are small and way too soft.
