We could do that also. Was thinking we might feel like a shower also.

I found that after posting and noticed they have a day rate around $100. Probably what I will end up doing as that gives us a chance to shower and change clothes if we want, which the more I think about it we will since it will have been a long day at that point. Hopefully we can sleep on the flight over from JFK.

Then we will need to decide what to do. I am thinking just find a place to see a couple sites and find a good German meal with a couple good beers.
