I would recommend the Lord Elgin for a short stay in Ottawa. It's a very comfortable, safe & clean hotel within reasonable walking distance of most of the city centre attractions. It is showing its age in a few areas, so it's not in the top league of hotels. But if you want and affordable and convenient hotel in central Ottawa, it is a very good choice.
