AccommodationsSome but not all hotels will honour the group rate for a day or two before and/or after the conference - check with the hotel directly for clarification. If you're staying into the following week, check the PGCon accommodations page for details about hotel rates for the following week. On-CampusThere is only one on-campus option for accommodation: UOttawa ResidenceGroup #: 577 Double-occupancy does not incur any extra charges, so if you can find someone to share the room and cost, it works out to only $49.99/person/night. Limited parking is available for an additional fee: check with the Residence when booking. Breakfast vouchers are not available, but Father & Sons (see Campus page) accepts pre-orders by phone. Rooms are only reserved for BSDCan until April 23rd, 2015. Bookings after April 23rd will still honour the group rate if there are any rooms available. UOttawa Residence is almost always sold out, so book early to ensure you get a room! UOttawa Residence Online reservation systemThis year, for the first time, the University of Ottawa has an online reservation system for on-campus accommodations. However, since it is the first year for this system, it has had some bugs. Please be patient. It is possible to make a reservation using it, but it may take a couple of attempts. Some details that may not be obvious:
NOTE: when using the website for booking a room, the studios are one bedroom, the suites are two bedroom.
