Were they requiring bathing suits for swimming as apposed to shorts or were they saying that skinny dipping was not allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Since the rooms adjacent to the pool had pool access, I suspected that couples were slipping in there after hours and quietly enjoying a dip.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that is why the place is so popular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hotel that I recently stayed in advertised a pool and an exercise room.
