Albert At Bay Suite Hotel

Visiting Ottawa?  I strongly recommend Albert At Bay Suite Hotel for your stay.  Our room here was bigger than some condo's I've stayed in!  Fast and friendly check in;  very clean and spacious suite (with kitchen); very good wi fi (important); 20 minute walk to the market (and other restaurants minutes away); and VERY easy to find from the highway.

 

We'll stay here every time we visit Ottawa.
