2. the pool, I read pages and pages of reviews on this hotel and not one of them told you about the pool, the pool for this hotel was located next door at the local YMCA once we finally found it we arrived to find about 50 grad school kids doing swimming lessons and told we had to wait, then they issued us all swimming caps to wear in the pool, we decided to to wait, dissappointed for sure, but the rest we loved.
