Albert at Bay Suite Hotel

This Centretown hotel is one of my favorite secret digs in Ottawa, even if it is a bit off the beaten track in a neighborhood with nothing to do at night. In a converted apartment house, it's one of Ottawa's best buys for longer stay -- and just as nice for a night or two, since all the customary conveniences of a conventional hotel are also in place. All the units are suites, and they're huge: the smallest have one bedroom and a sofa bed; a living room with terrace; two bathrooms; two TVs; and a full kitchen with appliances, dishes, and flatware. I've cooked many a meal here. The rooftop conceals a patio with picnic tables and lounge chairs. Free wireless high-speed Internet access is provided throughout, and parking is in a garage right beneath the hotel (it's a bit tight). There's a popular "kid's club" daily during July and August, and the cooking facilities in each suite are great for families year-round. For provisions, there's a tiny 24-hour convenience store at street level, and for diners there's a decent restaurant and pub both on premises as well.
