🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) - Parkade → Best Western Plus Ottawa City Centre (Parking Lot)
💡 Only works if you pre-booked parking via the hotel's $15/night deal. Otherwise, skip—it's just for guests who parked off-site. Takes you directly to the hotel's back entrance on Laperriere Ave.
Ottawa Airport → Hampton Inn by Hilton Ottawa Airport
💡 Pick-up area is just outside arrivals – follow signs. Surge pricing rare for this short trip. Booking through app saves a couple of bucks over taxi.
Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) → Hampton Inn by Hilton Ottawa Airport
💡 Taxis queue outside arrivals. The hotel is less than 2 km from the terminal, so metered fare is low. Uber and Lybit also operate here for slightly less, usually $12-14 CAD.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ottawa West - Nepean → Downtown Ottawa (Parliament Hill)
💡 Ask reception to call Blueline directly for a flat-rate to the ByWard Market area — sometimes cheaper than flagging one down. For early flights, schedule 24 hours ahead.
Ottawa Airport (YOW) → Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ottawa East - Orleans
💡 Take Route 97 from the airport to Hurdman Station, then transfer to Route 39 eastbound. Get off at Jeanne d'Arc / Orléansa stop—hotel is a 4-minute walk. Use a Presto card or tap credit/debit; exact cash only otherwise. The transfer is free if timed within 90 minutes.
Downtown Ottawa (e.g., Rideau Centre) → Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ottawa East - Orleans
💡 This is the most direct bus from downtown to the hotel. Board at Mackenzie King Bridge or Rideau Centre. The 39 runs along the Transitway and stops right at Jeanne d'Arc / Orléansa—then walk east on Innes Road. Avoid the 37 or 38—they run less frequently and serve different parts of Orleans.
Ottawa Airport (stop: Uplands/Airport) → Longfields & Woodroffe (near hotel)
💡 Buy a single-ride Presto card from the airport convenience store — cheaper than cash. Transfer to Route 61 at Billings Bridge Station if heading west during peak.

Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) → Tunney's Pasture Station (transfer to bus 55 or walk 20 mins)
💡 This route skips downtown, so it's faster if you're arriving between 7-9 AM. From Tunney's, the hotel is a 20-min walk north along Parkdale; use Pulse bus 55 if it's raining.
Ottawa Airport Terminal → Hunt Club Road (walk 3 mins to hotel)
💡 The bus stop 'Hunt Club / Uplands' is a short walk east. Presto card cheaper per ride and works on all OC Transpo; buy one at the airport convenience store. Route 97 also connects downtown.
