"I booked this hotel last minute for five nights after holiday inn cancelled my booking in parliament hill Ottawa without notifying me. First thing to know this is in Gatineau on the French side across the Ottawa river, and Uber would charge you extra $5 for crossing the provincial line.

You can dine...
