Best Western Plus Gatineau-Ottawa Downtown
Notre porte de salle de bain était difficile et nous sommes resté embarré. Impossible d'utiliser la piscine avec tous les adolescents qui sautaient et lançait un ballon de football d'un bout a l'autre de la pièce. Repas du resto bien mais manque de variété et de quantité.
