taxi arrangement dinner information comfortable bed

Lynda arranged taxis for our connections and tours! I was given a larger room in the new section of the hotel. It featured a little seating area outside. The beds were REALLY comfy.

The ceiling creaked when people above walked around. The soundproofing wasn't fantastic.
