***SATURDAY BRUNCH REVISED***

Soooo...the whip is apparently too hip, and their head has swollen to inappropriate proportions...they won't take a reservation on a saturday brunch because they are busy enough without booked parties.

Therefore...we are all moving up a notch in atmosphere, dining, and sipping...and i'm sure service! *we are also moving the time of brunch back a few minutes to accommodate any late night revelers and/or early morning joggers*

The Victorian Hotel

So, we thought it would be fun (and cheaper!) if we all stayed in the same hotel...

After lots of internet searches, several phone calls, and a few trips downtown we found The Victorian Hotel. MAP

We have different rates than the web site:

• Standard, one or two double beds, shared bathroom (sink and mirror in room) $69
• Delux, bay window, 2 double beds or one king, shared bathroom (sink and mirror in room) $79
• Delux, private bath, 2 double or one king bed $99

They have waved the parking fee for our guests (normally $15/day).

Daily breakfast is included (granola, yogurt, fruit, bagels/toast, coffee/tea).

I went down myself, got a tour of all the rooms. The entire place is awesome. All of the rooms are nice. The prices mostly reflect room size and private or shared bath. The shared bath is 3 toilettes, one shower, and one bath tub shared between 9 rooms...all extremely clean!

***Please phone to book your own room, whichever you choose according to your own needs/desires! They have set aside a block of rooms for us, so you are guaranteed a bed, but as the time goes by and rooms are booked the options become limited!***

The reservation is under Melvin/Drummond.

Please call me (306-717-1671) or my mom, Laurie (306-221-7075) with any questions!
