Residence Inn by Marriott Ottawa Airport
Clean and modern. Very nice. Not sure why it was called “airport” though… it would not be that close. Road noise was a bit heavy in the room but it calmed down overnight.

Fairmont Chateau Laurier
Nice hotel, close to all city amenities. Beautiful Christmas decor. Minor issues with toilet and valet but good stay overall. WiFi never worked in my room despite going to the main desk twice. Unfortunate when I was working.
