Pretty much as long as you have a major CC then all hotels are SP friendly. The better quality ones don't allow people to check in without a 'real' CC (that means no pre-paid CC's). If you have a major CC, your money's as good as the next persons to a hotel.
Ramada inn Casino in Hull sector (near the Casino) is quite good too... Convenient and lots of free parking...

A few comments:Secret_Admirer said:I will be receiving a guest over summer months and since I take outcalls only (for legal reasons), I started looking into Hotwire as suggested in TV ads as an economic way of booking hotels.
I started booking an average 4 star hotel for June 20 for one person and initially the price quoted was $84, which although more expensive than I thought (my impression was something about $60 to $80) and then I noticed in small letters another charge of $16 for what they call Tax recovery and fees, and then another sentence below in small and light hard to see letters that the charges are on US dollars. So what I thought was going to be an economical way of booking a room (about $60 to $80) ended up costing me in excess of $110 for one night
Was I too optimistic in my impression of the economical way of booking a room by Hotwire, or I am mis-reading the prices. Because if I book the room myself, it will cost me about the same except that I don't have to book in advance and I decide exactly which hotel to book. I don't consider $110+ for one night, one room exactly as economical (I must acknowledge I don't have experience with booking hotels).
One, I have found that Hotwire deals in Ottawa are not as good as say Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
Two, you don't have to book far in advance. In fact you can bid the same day on hotwire.
Three, you shouldn't limit yourself to only 4* hotels. There are some mighty fine 3* and 3.5* hotels around. Sometimes even the 2.5* hotels are very nice as well. Quite often the best deals are in the sub-4* hotels.
Four, if you are looking for an even better deal than hotwire, try priceline. Used in conjunction with betterbidding.com you can usually beat hotwire prices by a good 10-20% on the very same hotels.
