Delta Marriott Hotel, Burnaby

As a special Christmas gift for my husband this past year, I booked 3 days at your Hotel in Burnaby, B.C. I found so much missing I  asked for two wine glasses, wine opener,one extra ‘soft’ chair, 1 coffee cup, We found no microwave, menus, instructions to operate your very s-l-o-w tv.

In the covid period we are still in, the fact that the duvet was without a cover, open to one and all was truly disconcerting.

Back to the chair. It is not conceivable in such a large room that two chairs are not available. Having one seated and the other having to sit on the edge of the bed to watch tv sucks, especially during the Olympics. They did bring us a very hard ;’dining room’ chair. The Casino area was super great for two seniors who had not left home in over two years due to my husband having a broken back. It was a lot of fun.

We found the staff to be amazing, polite, smiling and always willing to offer assistance. I hate to mention this but single ply toilet paper is not economical to your bottom line. Neither are single ply kleenex. One must use 3-4 times more paper.

The piano volume in your so-called lounge area is beyond any sanity. We were 4 people trying to make a family visit something special but instead had to literally shout at each other (as did the rest of the room). We were told we didn’t request the dining room. We (a) didn’t know you had to do that and (b) had no idea it was two rooms and not one. The second night with yet another daughter in tow, was not much better. This time we asked our server to do something. The Hostess at the front told us she had total control of the volume. Perhaps she requires a hearing aid?

Thank you for listening to me. P.S. the Casinos liked us. Just sayin’.

A Travesty In My Own Country

Forgive me for venting as I am more than distressed with the news of yesterday’s so-called “Freedom Convoy”. Tell me please, what did Terry Fox have to do with this? Why was he desecrated? You must really think you are heroes for this.

Urinating on the Memorial Monument? Please….this represents a recognition for the lives lost so that you can have FREEDOM. That shows what your mentality is…nothing more than lets make fools of ourselves and show the world just how ignorant we really are. The worst of it all? Is dancing on the coffin of the unknown soldier. You stupid people. Oh, and stealing food from the homeless people? Yup, you really make true Canadians proud. That last sentence is dripping with sarcasm.

The past year has taken us, as a Country, down the road of “WTF?” You prey on Seniors for their money, you kick and beat persons of a different race or culture. You tear down statues that have nothing whatsoever to do with the Covid restrictions that are common sense (something you all seem to lack) you have the mindset of a mob and that is all it is.

Don’t like the rules of protecting everyone to bring the Covid virus way, way down, then get the heck out of this Country.

I am a Senior and proud of it and all my life, Canada has been known as  Peace Keepers around the world and you with your cheap and tawdry antics have left us looking like another Country not really named here.

Three quarters of the protesting nut jobs have nothing whatsoever to do with the truckers. Even their organizations are against what is taking  place.

If you believe in anything I have written here, please pass it on.  I just cannot comprehend the thinking and antics that are occurring.

God please keep us safe and calmer during these horrific hours.
