We stayed in the tower and I hauled a suitcase of clothes over to the south garden wing to wash. It wasn't too bad and I hung out by the pool with my family while the cycles ran. It does take two cycles ($4) in the dryer to get the clothes dry. I have found that in every hotel I have ever stayed in. Once at a Holiday Inn in Charlottesville, VA, I ran the stupid thing 3 times and my clothes were still sodden.
