Signs of Trouble

The Westin Bayshore sign in front of several buildings

Here is the Westin Bayshore sign, prominently displayed, as seen from the corner of W. Georgia and Cardero (a busy intersection served by numerous bus routes) in downtown Vancouver. Which of these buildings is part of the Westin Bayshore?

If you said it's the building directly behind the sign, you'd be wrong.

If you said it's the building behind the building behind the sign, you'd be wrong.

If you said it's the building across the street to the right of the sign, you'd be wrong.

In fact, if you said that any part of the Westin Bayshore is even visible from the corner of W. Georgia and Cardero, where this sign is placed, you'd be wrong.

As clearly indicated by the sign, the Westin Bayshore can be found by taking the path down to the street to the right of the sign, walking down an entire block past zero signs giving directions to the hotel, crossing a street, then walking through a parking lot containing zero signs indicating the purpose of the lot. The small L-shaped building found there, with no signs apart from the one mounted by the entrance door, is the hotel. But that was surely obvious from the prominent sign displayed on the main street an entire block away.
