The foursome had spent over nine hours driving a circuitous route from Montreal to Niagara-on-the-Lake. After arriving in the small tourist town before sunrise, they were lucky to snare two hotel rooms. This historic hotel was built in 1864. It was renamed the Prince of Wales after a stay in 1901 by George Albert. He would later become George V, King of the United Kingdom. The property also welcomed Queen Elizabeth in 1973.
