Nice location with lots of restaurants and shops in the area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Gym was well equipped an tthe breakfast selection was the best I've seen for an Inn that includes breakfast in their price. Would definitely stay here again especially for longer stays.

Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre
Pool and hot tub were under maintenance which was disappointing. Also our thermostat was broken and the room wouldn’t cool down with any regularity. The property was great and in great shape. Staff was great. You do have to pay for parking and breakfast though.

Arlo, BW Signature Collection
Really clean, conveniently located. It took 8 minutes to get hot water for the shower and the room is very exposed to street noise. Lovely staff. Overall great value for money but I’d bring earplugs next time!
