Parking: There are many parking options. Parents can choose to pay for street parking, pay for valet at the hotel or pay for garage parking under the hotel which charges by the hour. Families may also choose to take advantage of the bus/train which stop 1 block away at King Street station. We recommend the first week to come extra early to figure out parking and locate the pool. From the garage you can head straight up to the pool through the elevator. If you find street parking or choose to valet you can enter through the lobby and head to the pool through the elevator.

You cannot use shampoo or body wash in the deck showers.

If you are using the family change rooms, please remember that other families are waiting to use them and be respectful by getting in and out as quickly as possible.
