Also just got back from our trip at the RPR. We checked in at 8am so there was no line, but it does get long in the afternoon. Our room was 2111, tower 2, bottom floor, because we took our lab. Those who are not pet fans will be happy to know that no pets are allowed in tower 1. They're all in tower 2 on the lower floors.
We had an
AAA rate, and they gave us the welcome gift. It didn't arrive the first night because we had to change rooms after checking in. They accidentally gave us a smoking room. The next day, we called again and they eventually sent our welcome gift of cookies and milk. At first they said we wern't supposed to get it with the AAA rate, but then said since they promised it at check in, we would get it. If your gift doesn't arive the first night, just call down and ask, then it will arrive 3 hours later just as you are giving up and the wife starts to cry about it. Laurie was about to have a hissy fit, but then someone knocked on our door at 6pm and it was the wonderful cookies and milk. Two huge chocolate chip cookies, and a raisen one that was soft and chewy.
The pool is really nice. Yes, there are two hoops, it's a regulation size rim, a couple feet above the water with nets. Some kids can almost dunk on it from the water. When I was there, a crowd of kids were shooting, two basketballs, and a volley ball. Make the shot and you get the ball back. It was quite fun because 3 balls were always bouncing off the rim and you had to pay attention or get nailed. It was fun going for rebounds in the crowd. There's no way to play an offical game since you can't dribble in the pool, but having a shoot around is fun. There was also a group of people playing volley ball. Just swim up to a side, get in the action, and hit the ball over the net. Your basketball fan will have fun at the RPR pool.
Look for my TR in a few days. I have to type it up and make a web page with pictures.
