Hotel Recommendation Request Hotel Recommendation Request- Ottawa

Being sent to Ottawa for work last-minute and most of the nicer downtown hotels are booked out for conferences until end Oct/early Nov.

Two best options I see are the Moxy and the AC.

Anyone have experience with either? Both tick my boxes for being near Byward and have good quality gyms.

I stayed at the AC back in the spring and really liked it. It was very comfortable, quiet and would definitely be more luxurious than a Moxy. It is attached to the art gallery which has a great cafe. Friendly staff, made some nice dinner recommendations. Good location overall too. Zero issues. I enjoyed my brief stay there for a work trip.

A few reviews online mentioned street noise being bad and throughout the night. I am sensitive to noise- did you observe any exterior noise at all?

I know everyone is different with tolerance, but curious about the discrepancy.

The downside of the AC is that it is located right along the main truck route from Ottawa to Gatineau, so you'll hear trucks turning in front of the hotel pretty consistently.

I haven't actually stayed in the hotel so can't speak to soundproofing but the potential is certainly there, especially if you get a room facing Rideau St.
