I've already been looking at tripadvisor and I don't necessarily trust them; it might be from talking to you guys and it might be from other things I've read.
I'm attending two concerts, one at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa and one at the Place des Arts in Montreal. The Ottawa Residence Inn is actually a block and a half away from the NAC, but I quite frankly hate Residence Inns because I always get stuck in the pull-out couches, and I'd feel bad taking up an entire suite anyway. I'd love to stay at the Chateau Laurier and/or la Reine Elizabeth, so I think I'll check those out. I guess I'm heading to the Fairmont forums next.
