    I'm assuming we'll need to bring power converter(s) or do they have these in the room? I'm guessing they don't. How many do you usually bring? We have so many things that need to be plugged in these days, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to bring a couple.

    Also, how are the hair dryers in the rooms? Should I just bring my own?

    hair dryers are small and noisy but they work
    Voltage is 120

    I always bring a small 6 foot extension cord with tri tap for all the rechargeable stuff,,, cameras/ipods/mp3,,,

    The plugs are behind desk ect ,, the cord makes it easy

    Don't forget the rechargeable batteries....for the camera. Made you think there for a second lol

    Bring your own hair dryer, Jodie says the one's there get really hot to the point where she smells her haor starting to burn but her hair doesn't dry like normal, mind you she likes her expensive one too

    I think I read somewhere that they mostly only have 2 prong plugs (not 3). Maybe that's what I was thinking of.
