Yeah Matt, I've been wondering the same thing for the past couple of weeks myself, it'd be cool if they had highspeed connections but hell I'd settle for a dial up connection. I'm bringing my dv camera and laptop anyway so if there's some downtime we can get into some editing, can someone bring a decent sized library of music and stuff like that.

I was also wondering if they have TVs in the living areas of each unit, nothing too fancy just something I can playback daily video footage on (although if it's a huge plasma screen I won't complain) otherwise I'll be relegated to watching the playback on the small lcd screen on the camera.

I wish I could answer your question, but I don't know about the amenities. Just keep in mind the Residences (not a hotel) are not luxurious, so dont get your hopes up. You might not even have a phone in your room. TV? I really don't know. I'm pretty sure we didn't have TVs in the rooms in '98, but things may have changed since then.

One of you should email or call the place, then post the info here.

There is a cafe on the premises there could possibly be connected machines there, but I'm not too worried either way ... I'll find out when I get there.

I called and the guy on the phone told me there were TV's, but his english was bad and my french was worse so I'm really not sure that he knew hat I was asking him
