Kmoorexxx 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 I’ve been touring around Ottawa and I’m debating on posting near the airport... worth it ?? Or no? 💋 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1963Kennedy 10698 Report post Posted October 1, 2020 Airport is OK, but I would think for your 1st visit, downtown might be better. If you have 2,3 4 hours between dates, you can walk the downtown area for shopping. Nothing to see/do around the airport. If you're here for only 2-3 days, then airport might be OK. Either way, if your posting is very good, you'll be OK. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigalojc 574 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 Airport area offers easier parking (free) for guests and more anonymity. Parking downtown can sometimes be a hassle during the day and rush hour.. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chechman 479 Report post Posted February 17, 2021 Agreed, airport avoids traffic for the most part and also parking is much better! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philmore 149 Report post Posted March 1, 2021 Given the environment we are living in right now, I'm curious....is it ok for the general public to wander in and out of hotels at will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still travel for work. These comments are for Manitoba only. It depends on the hotel. Some require your keycard to access the building and others let you walk in. If you walk in knowing where you are going no one is going to know whether you are a guest or not. If you stand in the lobby looking around for the elevators it may draw someone's attention.

Philmore 149 Report post Posted March 2, 2021 Appreciate the response Hondius but I am wondering if there are any covid protocols that hotels might be following. More specifically, only hotel guests allowed in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt that as it would generate more close interaction between staff/guests/visitors to enforce. Many folks use their rooms to conduct business meetings. I may be visiting a hotel tonight so will report back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More specifically, only hotel guests allowed in. Again, it is hotel dependent. The one hotel I stay at in the north has a sign that says no local visitors and requires your key card to get into the building. The ones I've stayed at in Winnipeg have no such signs or requirements. Another thing to note is there are a lot of hotels that are flat out closed right now. The one we normally stay at in Winnipeg has closed for the pandemic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
