Wow, thanks, Pat89339! A lot of information. We'll remember about the rooms. They put a note in our record saying we'd like the Makai Wing (I've since learned that makai means "toward the ocean"). We'll ask if we want to see something else.

We're also very interested in the Behind the House tour. One of the things that used to be fun about playing in a band was sometimes getting into the back areas of hotels. But these tended to be about 1/2-star places : it will be interesting to see a world-class operation.

And I appreciate the tip on housekeeping. This has been an occasional glitch we've experienced, even at pretty nice resort hotels: if you're in the room when they want to do it, getting them to come back out of sequence is like pulling teeth sometimes.
