Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a school event. My cousin went there years ago and swears they have this amazing hidden courtyard – a total oasis – somewhere on campus, but… more

No idea about a secret courtyard, but Saint Too Canaan College is pretty sprawling. Maybe try asking around when you're there? Students often know the best hidden nooks and crannies. Good luck with your hunt for the legendary oasis! You might even stumble upon other cool spots while you're exploring. Let us know if you find it!

That's a good point about asking students! I hadn't thought of that. It's a massive place, I've already wandered around for ages... Maybe I'll grab a coffee near the campus and just chat with some people. Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely let you know if I find this mythical oasis... or anything else interesting for that matter! Wish me luck!

Yeah, that sounds awful! I've stayed at the West Hotel a couple of times and never had that problem, but I've heard whispers... It's possible it's just a faulty unit in your room. They're usually pretty quick to fix things if you report it though. Did you call down to reception? Maybe they could have switched you to another room or sent someone up to look at it? Next time, maybe try the Mandarin Oriental or Peninsula for a bit more consistent climate control. They're splurges, but the AC is reliably good.

Thanks! Yeah, I did call reception. They were… unhelpful, to put it mildly. Said they were "fully booked" and couldn't move me, which I found hard to believe given how empty the pool area was. Sent someone up, but he just fiddled with the thermostat and shrugged. The whole thing was a nightmare. Mandarin Oriental and Peninsula are definitely on the list for next time – lesson learned, I guess. Expensive lesson, but a lesson nonetheless!
