Espresso Martini before the Christmas party sounds great! Best
of both worlds -- caffeine and alcohol. I'll have to try that when
staying at GF/going to party in Dec.

That’s my dd! I had coffee in the room but love my champagne!

She loves it ! I bet you will too!

Last Christmas we enjoyed listening to the live piano music, is he still playing this year? Any chance the orchestra will return?

The piano player is still there, however, there have been no signs/rumors of the orchestra returning.

Good morning! We transfer to BC so if you like pix hop over there later

Here are a few things to mention.:
The air conditioner in Sago could set to 65 but it was set to 68 in BC. Google it and override to 65 if needed.

Toiletries:

Outlets galore! There are on the little side end tables, on BOTH sides of center one, on the end of the dresser, near coffee pot station, bathroom, desk/table entryway…….

They look like this:

Noise: you can hear construction noise during the day. The worst would be marina facing for Sago (we heard none from mono facing side), and the end of BC I am on. I think the rooms that would have less noise from this building are rooms that are closer to BPK building.

Room noise seems same as deluxe rooms I have stayed in. No paper thin walls!

GF has mini lobbies in the other buildings. The rooms that are near those DO get people noise. I personally like that location because it’s close to elevator and when exit room it’s a pretty open space looking over rails to below. However if you want quiet and show up and you see assigned there go back and request quiet room.


No trees were up when we left mvmcp last night at Cr, poly or gf. Rats! Hopefully soon!
