| - It may sound strange, but the two most important things we look for in a hotel room are a cable TV lineup that includes HGTV, and a nice bathtub. We have neither at home, so they're a huge part of the relaxation experience.
So when the Hotel Victoria advertised "Premium Cable TV", I pretty much expected that HGTV would be part of that. But, no. When I called down to the front desk to ask about it I was told they only subscribe to basic cable. When I said that their website and in-room information says premium, they blamed Rogers Cable saying they were having problems. Finally, they offered us free continental breakfast as a consolation. Yay! Toast and coffee! They do have AppleTV with Netflix which is cool, but I have that at home, too, so...
The nice thing about this hotel is that it's in a great location, so we decided to just get out and go to dinner. I highly recommend The Keg on The Esplanade near Scott Street.
After dinner we came back thinking a nice bath would be a nice way to end the evening. Again, no luck. The tub drain stopper doesn't exactly stop the water from draining...at all.
Fortunately, we're only here for one night before catching the train to Montreal in the morning. But we have a one-night reservation here on the return trip that we will be canceling. Oh, and the lamp randomly goes on and off by itself. That's not helpful.
