Big Cliff Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Just two old farts going to take a couple of days R&R and we are thinking of going to Ottawa (for starters). Looking for suggestions for a good clean place to stay that won't break the bank and good places to eat (we like almost anything) but again good food but not stupid prices. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikeslayer Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Hey Cliff, My brother in law Steve has a place right on the river across from Hull. It's vacant until the 27th of Sept. Not sur if it's the area you are looking for, buts it's available to you if you want it. Let me know, Simon Edited August 10, 2011 by pikeslayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Thanks for the info guys and thanks for the offer Simon but it looks like we are only going to be spending one night in Ottawa, that travel lodge looks good Paul, thanks. From there we are just going to grab a map and throw a dart, lord knows where we'll end up(as long as it isn't in jail LOL) Sorry Beans, I'd do a road trip with you any time though! This is an old friend of 30+ years who just needs some one on one time with a good friend so we are just going to pretend we're 30 again, wild and free. He has a Mustang classic rag top (hope the weather is nice LOL)we're just going to crank the tunes and cruse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixnay on the Wayne Newton tunes now Cliff. They just won't cut it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ixnay on the Wayne Newton tunes now Cliff. They just won't cut it anymore. Wayne Newton never did cut it for me LOL. Now some of the Air Supply; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Creedence Clearwater Revival stuff, well that is a different story. Fortunatly we both love a good variety of music! Lord knows where we'll end up but the one thing you can be sure of is we'll have fun, eat well, might have a drink or two and probably come back feeling our age.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Lots of good eats in the "Market" just east of Parliament. The Dunn's is always good. And if you like ethnic good you're in luck they have some of the best Indian, Middle Eastern and Asian good in Canada. If you're looking for a pub the Crown and Anchor is by far the best in Ottawa. There are four or five different pubs in the own establishment. Eat and be merry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
