I don't think Paradise Pier is connected to DCA or the Grand but I've never been in there so I can't answer that for you. |

Just thought I'd mention that, as there might be old information floating around the internet somewhere. If you stay at PPH you can walk across the street, enter the Grand and go through the special entrance as Jenasweetemotion posted.
Have fun! |

Tue 11/10/2009 8:41a | I think it depends on the CM whether you need the room key or not. In June, August and Oct. we were asked for the key. I've never understood why they do this as I'm sure they like lots of people using their restaurants and bar.
We've been told that the room key is needed but they might only ask for it in the morning. There is a sign out saying the entrance is for hotel guests only and then there is also a sign on the wall that says something slightly different. I'd guess that a receipt from a hotel restaurant would work too. IF they are being persnickity about it.
There is one CM who is very through. We call him Maxwell Smart for no particular reason. If I see him at the table I practically start taking out my teeth fillings as I know he'll want to check them. I have seen him refuse guests entrance. I really wanted to say that the family was with us but it was too obvious and I wasn't in the mood for a battle.
Long winded way of saying you might need a keycard then again you might not :) |
