The best hotels near Canadian Tire Center
Marc Delacroix France
These are my five favourites in Ottawa, out of the 7 that qualified. I read what other travellers scored them before I picked, so the order follows the guests, 4.5 down to 4.3.
All five are within 2.7 km of Canadian Tire Center.
Highest rated of the five
Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kanata Ottawa West
★★★★★4.5 from 563 reviews
Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kanata Ottawa West comes out on top of this list, and not narrowly: 4.5 from 563 guest reviews is a score that holds up at that volume, which is the whole test here. A perfect ten from nine people does not beat it.
It is a 3 star property, found under poi and around $163 a night on the dates we checked.
7 hotels in Ottawa qualified for this list and five made it. Wingate by Wyndham Kanata West Ottawa is the one I would book if the first is full.

How this list was put together
7 Ottawa hotels qualify for this list. We ranked them on guest rating first and on how close they are to Canadian Tire Center second, then took the top five.
Two things decide these lists. The first is my own time in the city: every hotel on this page is one I have stayed in, walked into and looked at, or gone back to check. That is where the shortlist starts, and it is why some well reviewed places are not on it.
The second is the numbers, and those are what set the order. The rating and review count come from the big travel sites, pooled through Google, so a score here reflects Expedia, Booking, Hotels.com and the rest together rather than any one of them. I also read the review breakdown by topic, which is where the figures on service, breakfast and location come from. Hotels with fewer than forty reviews are left out altogether, because a rating that thin is not a rating. No more than two come from one neighbourhood.
What I do not do is move anyone up the order. The ranking is the guest score, highest first, and nobody pays to be on the list.
Distances are straight lines from published coordinates, so the real walk is a little longer. Amenities are as recorded by Google Hotels and can change without notice. Rates are an indicative nightly figure for a midweek autumn stay, not a quote. Check the booking page before you commit.

Closes the shop two weeks each winter and goes wherever people make something fermented. Dairies in the Basque country, the Caucasus and rural Sardinia.
Trip Grapevine earns a commission on bookings made through the links on this page. It costs you nothing, and it does not change the order of the list, which is set by the measurements above.
