There was still a restaurant/dining room there, but any tiki stuff was long gone. Nice staff, but a somewhat seedy place, with panhandlers and drunks hanging around outside, cigarette-burned 70s furniture in the room, ice machines in the corridors, and the whole place featured the delicate fragrance of eau de cigarette. Pretty much perfect accommodation for the likes of me... :) Since then, the whole place seems to have been refurbished as a boutique hotel, judging from this Website: http://www.carltoninn.mb.ca/ CN Toto, j'ai l'impression que nous ne sommes plus au Kansas !
