Fairmont Chateau Laurier
Beautiful historic building but the wall in my room(536) is thin and could I hear everything the neighbours said. Fortunately mine were fairly quiet but if you had people who engaged in “late night activities” it could be bad. Also the bathroom had a slight sewer smell.

Hôtel Chateauneuf Gatineau—Ottawa
Cold rooms, had to change my room twice yet still cold, noisy air-conditioning, gym is not well equipped and cold. The swimming pool is horrendous. Not enough staff. This will be my last visit to any of this hotel chain.

Seasonal waterfront retreat on Sharbot Lake
An excellent place, very clean and comfortable. It was very nice and peaceful sitting on the deck with a morning coffee. Beds were comfortable and I loved the pillows. Cottage was well equipped.
