Default The Forgotten Hotel Room

In Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw, Will Ferguson mentions the legend of Empress Hotel (Victoria, Vancouver Island) having a sealed room. One of the hotel's was somehow sealed up, intentionally or by accident or because it was in a corner or dead end. Years later, during remodelling, the room was rediscovered with its made bed and plumped pillows thickly covered in dust.

That looks like an interesting book - i've been to Moose Jaw as well as a few other spots mentioned in the blurb so it might bring back a few memories as well as new knowledge - we weren't in Sask' for very long but Moose Jaw was a good place for a few friendly beers. Or 12.
