A hint to save a bit of money: I just checked with the Hyatt Regency
reservations centre. If you are of 'a certain age' (as the French say),
the Seniors' rate is about C$6 a night cheaper than the convention
rate, and you get a better room.
What is that "certain age" in Canada. I have just qualified for the
Kohl's senior rate with my birthday last week (62) and finally got my
British pension sorted out. I will be receiving the princely sum of
15gbp a week, but better in my pocket than theirs. :-)
Officially it's 65 (for pensions and the like) but businesses, museums,
theatres, etc. set their own standards. So it can vary from 55 to 60 to
65. I don't know what the Hyatt's criteria is - young desk clerks take
a look at my white hair and don't ask any questions!!!
