Hilton Garden Inn Ottawa Airport
"The rooms and facilities are cleaner than expected and staff were friendly with my pet. There were clearly renovations taking place in the property, but the disruption was minimal. I was hoping to find a safe lock in the room, but it was not available."

Alt Hotel Ottawa Airport
"Beautiful! Loved our stay here - the hotel is absolutely gorgeous and staff were excellent. One minor issue for those with cars or rental cars, the parking was an expensive issue. The barcode we were given didn’t work and had to pay sooo much for parking."

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa
"The staff were great and fun. The rooms are beautiful. It was also great that it was a “one stop shop” - Hotel, Casino and multiple restaurants to chose from, it made for a fun night out! We were also very impressed with how quiet the rooms were. We will definitely be coming back."
