As for Ottawa, the Delta is a bit far, but how many thousand hotel rooms are within a 5-10 minute walk of Union. People will clearly walk to the Chateau, the Westin, the Germain. Les Suites, the Doubletree, the hotels in the Market and the ones on the east side of the CBD like the Lord Elgin or the Metcalfe. Lots of destinations in walking distance. And no one is driving to the Roger’s/Shaw Centre from Union.

By definition not many people do because only a miniscule percentage of hotels are within walking distance of a central train station in most cities.
A 10 minute walk from the Senate (per google maps) is about Joey. There are not thousands of hotel rooms that distance. There are 3 hotels (Chateau Laurier, Westin, Lord Elgin).
