regularly. Guests use hot tubs at their own risk. The strata management
company for the complex maintains communal hot tubs. If you experience

good condition. All garbage should be removed and kitchenware left
clean. Okanagan Lodging Company will be responsible for laundering
the linens and the final cleaning.
