Stuff You Should Know

Avoid rooms 203–210 and 303–310 in the north building, as they face another building very close by. Pool seating is limited, so arrive early to snag a spot. Blinds in the rooms aren’t effective at blocking sunlight, so be prepared for an early wake-up. The old-school air conditioning can be a bit loud, but it adds to the retro charm.
