Oops sorry missed out the price of that one, its $159 plus tax

we were there in the fall of 94...the grateful dead were staying
there....

for those who have been there, just picture jerry and bob in a room,
overlooking the lobby and about 15 of us trying to get them to come
down for beers...lol

bob ended up coming down, hanging out and left instructions to have
all our drinks put on the bands room tab....big mistake...deadheads
can put it away!!

I think they had to tour the next spring, despite jerrys poor health
to pay for all the jager we pounded that nite....

They have no gym or tennis on site. They have an arrangement with the
Sport and Health Club several blocks away, and there are several
public outdoor courts across the street -- but they're an almost
unplayable SportCourt grid surface.
