Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre
Check in laborieux. Mauvaise communication sur le prix a payer à l'arrivée. Quelqu un a ouvert la porte en soirée et ce ne pouvait pas être le ménage qui ne passe qu' aux 3 jours.

There were no allergen labels on any or the food. A boiled egg and a banana were all I could eat.
