It wasn't packed (I think it was a week night, so no band), but there were quite a few diners. However, I think the Tonga/former plunge is either a freestanding separate building right behind the old hotel (built in the late 20's) or in the back of the old hotel. It's not in the 1960's tower, which is in the northeast corner of the property. If it's the tower only that's being affected by demo/renovation, then I don't think the Tonga would be affected. Brent
