Formerly the Carleton County Gaol or best known as Ottawa Jail, which operated from 1862 to 1972, the renovated hostel lets you have the prison experience as you can choose between your own jail cell as a private room or a dorm with was formerly the prison hospital. This is great for those looking for unmatched experiences and fun memories. But yes, you can still get the traditional hostel-private room.

It is great to know the history of the place you are sleeping in. I am sure after listening to all the stories you may be in the right mood to listen to more during the Ghost and Gallow tour or (why not?) share your very own spooky ones. At a certain point you may want to change the theme. You can take advantage of other things to do that are featured by the hostel or even join the Ottawa Hostel Outdoor Club and register for some weather permitting activities such as cycling, hiking and canoeing during the summer or skiing in winter.

The official tourist web-site run by the Quebec Government refers to our province during the fall season as “colorful Quebec”.  It couldn’t have been said in a better way! During autumn, a season running from September to November, the foliage of our numerous natural parks and forests explode in a burst of different shades and combinations of colors ranging from deep red to light orange and green. If you have never seen this spectacular show of Mother Nature, you most definitely should, as you will not be disappointed. Although there are lots of travel routes and destination maps which you can follow to enjoy the colorful landscape, not all of these routes are easily accessibleby car.

Here is a list popular places many of our car rental customers rave about:

1. Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario (CAA Recommended) 

Most road trips north in Ontario involve travel on Highway 400 North and Highway 11 North of Barrie. Located a reasonable drive from both Toronto (approx. four hours) and Ottawa (three-and-a-half hours), Algonquin Park is one of the best and most accessible fall-color viewing spots in Ontario.

2. Mountain in Mont-Comi Park (near Rimouski)

Discover the beauties of nature by taking a ride on the chair lift, going mountain biking, hiking or taking a scenic drive.

3. The Niagara Parkway and Wine Country, Ontario (Recommended by CAA Travel magazine)

This stretch of road along the Niagara River in Ontario’s wine region offers a great view.

While the weather is still nice and the temperatures are above zero, enjoy this beautiful season by taking your family on a road trip to breathe in the fall aromas, enjoy a few apples bought from a local farm and let kids jump in a heap of rustling maples leaves. Different types of vehicle model and sizes are available to help you plan the fall road trip and save you money.
