THE Pool!

About 11 a.m. today, I finally figured out where the pool is at the IP Hotel. Yesterday I had followed the signs across the lobby but could only find the parking garage entrance. It turns out you have to travel to the 13th level of the parking garage by elevator only and there is the pool. It is enclosed by at least six foot walls, has dressing rooms and locker areas as well as a towel attendant. The pool is large both by width and length. On one side in about four inches of water is a sunbathing ledge; on the other side are two. Both of them hold about six plastic wicker loungers for this purpose. At one end of the patio area is a huge TV screen (football stadium size!) which only shows ESPN! There is also a large hot tub on a platform with a view of the bay.
