[/QUOTE]...... the Chateau Frontenac is a tourist destination in itself,
the lobby and the outside of the hotel was crowded with tourists that had been offloaded from their tour buses. What was annoying was they would all crowd around the mailbox located in between the elevators taking group pictures which prevented us and other hotel guests from using the elevator freely, or we could not get out of the elevator since there was a mob waiting to take pictures.

If the situation was as dire as you seem to imply, and detrimental to registered guests enjoyment of the property, wouldn't the management of the hotel seek to either ban these tour buses and their passengers from stopping at the hotel, or at a minimum curtail the stops to a more manageable number?
