Hotel des Arts


We had a considerable shock when we entered our hotel today. The original room we were given looked as though Charles Manson had just visited and left red everywhere. We asked to be changed so we are now in an upgraded suite which is slightly better but has the slogan "Big Brother is Watching You" smeared all over the walls, along with multiple faces of Richard Nixon and someone with a machine gun with flowers popping out of it. Colourful is a mild description of the room.
Returning from our trip to Macy's we passed the Grand Hyatt and Barbara asked "should we inquire here?" I said "why not". So in we went and for $29 more we are going to get a room with 2 beds, a private bath - and one hopes, white walls!
Stay tuned = it's nearly midnight and we just returned from supper at Le Central, a charming French restaurant where I had a superb filet mignon (though I ordered rack of lamb, an honest mistake as we all know Canadians speak with an accent).
