Top Lowertown Hotel Reviews

Le Parc Gatineau, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Was a very nice room, breakfast was delicious. Parking lot was weird and very dark and litter everywhere. The entrance is away from the parking lot so you need to walk a distance in a dark parking lot is not ideal when you have kids and there is random people asking for change etc around. Looking into the cars. I was also expecting a pool but there wasn't any."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Downtown Ottawa East by IHG

8/10 Good

"Our room was great but unfortunately it was across the street from a homeless shelter. That is a great service for the city to have but that was our view for the two days of our stay. It was very messy outside that building. Otherwise, the hotel itself was good! It has no restaurant so we have to walk up the street to get dinner."

Wingate by Wyndham Kanata West Ottawa

8/10 Good

"Staff were fantastic and the room was very clean. Breakfast is always fantastic. The building is beginning to show age with things such as partially departing wallpaper in suites and some dingy looking sections of the pool areas. Overall pleasing. Super safe and quiet location."

Econo Lodge Downtown Ottawa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in terms of food and shops nearby. There are several restaurants and cafes right in front of, or next to the econolodge. The nearest bus stop is right in front, and the nearest train station is 15 min walk. Although the walk will be through an area of downtown that can be sketchy and unsafe sometimes. The econolodge itself is a in a good location. The room and washroom were clean. It was noisy in the hall sometimes but never during sleeping hours (i.e., it usually quiet down after 10 pm ish). Overall, decent place to stay if you need to stay in Ottawa for a reasonable price."
