The Travelodge Hotel at 1376 Carling Avenue in Ottawa's west end has recently undergone a major face lift and will provide a wonderful venue for our Gathering. Situated not far from major shopping districts and only 20 minutes to Parliament Hill makes it an ideal location for a Gathering. The young (and young-at-heart) will find fun and excitement in the hotel's indoor water park, featuring a 200 foot Monster Slide, a wave pool, hot tub and palm tree lined beach area.  Fitness facilities overlooking the Palm Garden and a cappuccino/ice cream bar makes this water park a place to remember. There are rooms set up as "handicap access" (i.e. wide doors, easy bathroom access) so if you use a wheelchair, please indicate this on your registration form.  The hotel is completely ramped and has wheelchair access to all areas. Those preferring a room on the main floor should also indicate this on the form.

How To Get There

Coming from West of Ottawa, via Highway 417 - take the Carling and Kirkwood Ave. exit and the hotel is on the right hand side, just past the first stop light. Coming  from East of Ottawa, via Highway 417, take the exit at the Carling and Kirkwood off ramp.  You will need to get to the left hand lane as fast as possible as you make a left turn at the first stop light, then another left turn at the first stoplight after the overpass; the hotel is half a block on the right hand side. From the American border, take the new Veterans Highway 416 at Ogdensburg, New York, connecting in Ottawa to the 417 East, exiting at the Carling and Kirkwood off ramp, then a block and a half to the hotel (half a block past the first stop light.) Go to the Travelodge's web site (link at top of page) to find a map showing the hotel's location.
