While a few reasonably priced rooms are available at in-town B&Bs, you'll have to look mostly to Ottawa's outer districts for truly inexpensive lodgings -- primarily in motels. There are ample choices of midpriced to luxurious rooms, however, and an unusually large number of suite hotels in the city, intended primarily for businesspeople on long stays in the capital; these are ideal for families, because they usually sport full kitchens, plus enough bedding for four or more travelers. A few of the best are described below.
