Holiday Inn Gatineau – Ottawa (solo trip)

I was staying there alone with my two young children. We were getting dressed in the morning around 7am and a large man walked into my room unannounced. This terrified myself and my children. When I made a complaint they told me he walked in because they thought I had checked out. Why would they think that at 7 in the morning and why wouldn't he have knocked?
