Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, North Vancouver, B.C. Canada P327
 
Nothing special here...a relatively new Holiday Inn, $149 per night Canadian...but by the time you add on GST and "Hotel Tax", that $149 rises to $171...about $110 US and just a bit much for what you get.  Especially the...

Pantry Restaurant...

Well, the folks are nice enough, but honestly, having the nice, shiny plastic menus with pretty pictures suggested perhaps this would be somewhat akin to a Denny's in the states.  I wasn't wrong.  Nothing was bad, but pedestrian was the operative phrase here.  The 8 Oz New York steak was the biggest they had...not bad, nor was it anything to write home about. 

And, of course, the Caesar salad came with the obligatory "white gloppy stuff" for dressing.  But to be honest, this "white gloppy stuff" was better than most of the "white gloppy stuff" that restaurants in the states put on their Caesar salads.  Silly me...that's what it looked like in the picture as well.
