You Are in a Maze of Twisty Little (Hotel) Passages, All Alike
The lobby of the Delta Chelsea hotel here in Toronto is straight out of Zork, or maybe Colossal Cave. I keep going 'round and 'round semi-lost; I wish I could "drop axe" or "drop bird" or something. Come to think of it, "throw axe at dwarf" would be much more satisfying than continually finding myself at the Gerrard exit when I mean to get out on Yonge.

I had a similar experience in the Chicago Hyatt. Talk about a labyrinth. On the other hand, the Fairmont in downtown Vancouver is quite nice.
Is it just me or were some of those wacky color-coded elevator bank signs in the Delta Chelsea wrong? I swear the elevator to the 19th floor disappeared to Brigadoon one time.
My greatest challenge was finding the right bank of elevators. Is there some socio-demographic tagging behind being a guest who has to use the red versus the green elevators?
