Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre
Cold rooms, had to change my room twice yet still cold, noisy air-conditioning, gym is not well equipped and cold. The swimming pool is horrendous. Not enough staff. This will be my last visit to any of this hotel chain.

Fairmont Chateau Laurier
Magnifique hôtel , pleine d’histoires ! Super bien situé! Grosse piscine , mais un nombre restreint de 15 personnes à la fois , la famille a donc dû se séparer le temps d’une baignade , nous avons fait un échange après 15 minutes. Le personnel était gentil et bienveillant .

The room was large and comfortable. The hotel is in a great location with lots of restaurants nearby and a quick walk to the canal. Maclarens restaurant was excellent and we enjoyed being able to get room service from them.
