a wide open space with a small seating area made up of gray chairs on a
circular, gray rug. There’s an Xbox and a cluster of computers to entertain
guests of all ages. The on-site restaurant, The Square, is a white room with white tables,
white chairs, and gray booths where guests can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
and the lounge area, Tasca, has a glowing bar with leaf embellishments and
black chairs with purple pillows where guests can relax and enjoy a drink. Guests
