There was always something going on, and in the afternoon the streets were crowded. Since Saturday was Canada Day, people had little Canadian flags sticking out of their pockets and pinned to their jackets. Cute.
So charming really does describe our hotel. It was great, we couldn't have been happier with it. When we checked in, the desk clerk kind of paused and said, "ok, it's a little tricky to get to your room. Go up these stairs..."
"...then you go through the lounge..."
"...then around the corner and up another flight of stairs...."
"...then up another flight of stairs..."
"...et voila!"
Et voila, indeed. The room was pretty small, but big enough. And it came with a refrigerator and range (with oven), and a decent bathroom.
