Fairmont Chateau Laurier
It’s in a great spot but the parking is valet, it was a busy day so no where to pull in, we ended up going to a public lot but wasn’t much cheaper.

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.
