It's about a 40 minute walk from that hotel. It's possible, go down Katimavik and then it turns into Palladium drive straight to SBP. If you don't mind walking for that amount of time.
The Sensplex is right down the road. I'll link an address when I get to the computer.
For showing up, you should be fine if you're planning to be half an hour or earlier.
About a 10-15 min walk from the front.
I'm probably going to show up well ahead of puck drop. Take in the atmosphere outside, get my jersey purchased, find my seats, watch the warmup - snap a few pictures...
Are the bars at SBP open to people without tickets? I was way too late to pull the trigger on Game 6 tickets and obviously there's nothing left in my budget. I was thinking of trekking out at 4pm and going to Berts or something to watch the game and at least have a nice atmosphere.
Take a bike, park on the streets across Terry Fox and bike to the Bank. I do it all the time with my buddy.
hhahaha thanks for the link but comming from montreal no bike option
how late can you stay parked at the Sensplex... and is parking at SBP really that bad, planning to chill after the game and take in some of the atmosphere

I've been to the arena before when I don't have tickets. But 4PM is perfect, anything earlier and you're risking a lengthy wait.

We've gone for after game drinks and still walked back to our car at the Sensplex without any problem.

he's telling you to bring a bike in your back seat/trunk, park in some of the residential and then bike to the game.
wednesday I got there late and ended up in lot 9. Took over half an hour to get out. Just sat in the parking lot listening to the postgame interviews on the team 1200.

so the lower the lot number the faster you get out?

can we reserve a lot online?
No, the earlier you get there, the faster you get out.
The Bell Sensplex is a 4-pad hockey complex a 15-20 walk away with a huge parking lot. You will want to walk behind the building (clockwise) across the beach volleyball courts and behind the SMART Technologies building. Going the other way doubles the walk.

Yes.
It may sound complicated, I'll try and do it on google maps for you....
If you wanna catch the game at a bar, the Prescott is tough to beat. Great italian food too. Then head down the block to Pub Italia for the best beer selection in town.
Hi, I have an appointment at the US Consulate on Sussex next week so I am planning on coming down from Toronto this weekend and making a trip of it.
I don't really trust my car to handle the 4-5 hour drive so I was wondering what other options there are. Is Greyhound the cheapest option? Also, since I wouldn't have a car I would like a hotel that is fairly central to everything, close to the bus/train station, shops, restaurants, consulate, etc. How is the Quality Hotel on Rideau?
As far as things to see, from skimming through this thread I listed the Parliament, Rideau Hall, The Mint. Anything else? What about restaurants? I am open to anything (Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Indian) but the person I am with is vegetarian.
I also wanted to go to a casino. Is the Casino du Lac-Leamy the main one? If so, is there public transit or a shuttle that goes there regularly?

Thanks in advance.
There are plenty of hotels in the downtown Core. The Westin is in the Rideau Centre and is pretty central. Take a walk around the Byward Market and you're bound to find something you like restaurant-wise. Good selection there but it's also party central during the weekend. I think there is a bus that goes directly to the casino.
I still have family there & drive down a few times a yr.
