Hotwire Hotel: Ottawa Hotel IDs Dec 30 - Jan 1

[bessam]

Hi all - looking to ID some hotels in Downtown Ottawa for 2 nights, 1 room, 2 adults, checking in on December 30 and checking out on January 1:

4* - $103 - Boutique, Fitness, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed

3.5* - $96 - Shuttle, Fitness, Swimming, Restaurant, Business, High Speed

-- I believe this could be the Lord Elgin?

3* - $82 - Fitness, Swimming, Restaurant, Business, High Speed

3* - $65 (Hull) - Fitness, Swimming, Restaurant, Business, High Speed

Thanks in advance!

1. Not yet identified - quite possibly the ARC Boutique? However, in the case of the ARC boutique, you could get that cheaper by using Orbitz.com and the 10% off FABSAVE10 coupon code. $106.60 - 10% = $95.94

Additionally, the tripadvisor rating on this Hotwire listing matches the ARC, but again, cheaper via Orbitz.com.

2. Likely Lord Elgin

3. Would be a potential match for the Crowne Plaza

4. Not yet identified.

If the Orbitz ARC idea is of interest, please use the site's link to Orbitz.com.

If the HOTWIRE listings are of interest, it would be greatly appreciated if you could use the site's link to HOTWIRE.

The one in Hull is probably the one across the Casino (not the Hilton Lac Lemay) The restaurant is a steak house Beefteck- regular ordinary hotel - I think it's a Country Inn or something of the sort. Looks ordinary, but clean... my guess for that price! I agree with Aaron on the other 3

The Hull hotel is likely one of these three:

Four Points by Sheraton Gatineau

Holiday Inn Plaza la Chaudiere

Ramada Plaza Manoir du Casino

I think the hotel sandibeach was referring to was the Ramada.

Hi all - thanks for the feedback so far.

I checked today and the 4* has gone up to $123 and the 3.5* / 3* has changed. Any ideas on these ones?

3.5* - $90 - Shuttle, swimming, restaurant, business, laundry, high-speed

3* - $75 - Fitness, swimming, restaurant, business

Thanks!

I've noticed that prices on hotels.ca, spg.com have gone up as well. I think it's because of the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships are now being advertised and marketed ... crapola!

[bessam]

Yea, I agree - plus, the whole New Year's Eve thing. Still, looking to book something today. The ARC Hotel is still $109 or so on Orbitz with the coupon AaronJB mentioned, but I'd still like to know what these new options are. Kind of bummed about missing out on the Lord Elgin though :/

[AaronJB]

These options have not yet been identified, and I'm having trouble - so far - finding hotels with shuttle that would fit the 3.5*, and the amenities of the 3* could make for a number of different properties. I'm trying to figure this one out, but with Expedia & Hotels.com being currently down, it might take a while.

[AaronJB]

Well, I did find one match. Still trying to figure out the 3*.

3.5* would appear to be a match for the Delta Ottawa and Suites.

HOTWIRE link: HOTWIRE.

I don't know what the 3* is either, but i'll add that i too think the 3.5* is most likely the Delta.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Hey friends - thanks for all the feedback.

In the end, we went with the Novotel Ottawa, booked through the hotel website for two nights, two adults, "Novation King" room with free high-speed internet for $269.94 CAD (approx. $220 USD) including all taxes and fees. Would have (should have) gone for the Lord Elgin but having missed it once, we didn't want to wait for it to reappear.

Cheers,

Bessam

I would say to continue checking HOTWIRE up until your cancellation date with the Novotel (assuming you have the option to cancel). You never know what hotel might pop up and at what price.
