Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre
Pros: The room seemed pretty clean. The staff was incredibly nice and bilingual which was nice. They are super helpful with everything. There is a grocery store near by. Cons: The beds weren’t too comfortable and parking situation was tight but was still decent for a city of that size.
