Le Germain

Le Germain,

The hotel we were assigned in Montreal was Le Germain.

Ken checked it on Google and we learned it was le3ss than a half mile from the station so with our new suitcase with the four wheels we decided that we would walk to the hotel. A very friendly VIA attendant assured us of our directions and so away we went. It was a little tricky in spots because the pavement was rough in spots and it was basically uphill. But we made it safely with all of the wheels in tact.

A bellman came out and took my suitcase up the stairs. We were given a great welcome and, told about the free breakfast.

I inquired about checkout and I was assured that we could stay in our room as long as we needed to . There would be no extra charge for staying in our room until late afternoon. The train to Halifax does not leave until seven.

When we arrived at our room …807… we were favorably impressed. It is very different from the different Fairmonts that we have been staying in. It is sleek and modern with 12 foot ceilings and 12 foot doors. It was very roomy with a sitting area and a king sized bed and a desk. The bathroom was in 2 sections. One section had the toilet and the other had the sink and tub area. It was really quite lovely with lots of windows. There was free coffee and water and the mini bar was well stocked with very expensive items including ten dollar jelly beans.

. great wifi.

After our rest we decided to go out and explore. Quite by accident we ran into Johnny and Joyce. We located the spot where the Hop ON Hop Off bus is located. We plan to take it in the morning.

 We walked together and found a food court that had a Subway and that was our choice for supper.

We then made our way back to the hotel and our lovely room. We had a very good rest.
