I really liked Hotel Palacio del Retiro, Autograph Collection. Great location, cool architecture, big rooms and not crazy on the number of points required, mind you that was 2 years ago

^ stayed at the same hotel but ended up in a very cramped room. That said, still nice staff, nice building, and very nice location

For people with Non-technical backgrounds who are now Product managers in the Tech industry, what kind of resources did you use to prep for your interviews? I've had people recommend brushing up on cracking the PM code but there's SO MUCH information out there and it's hard to figure out if I'm looking at the right thing or not. Please share resources that helped you get into PM roles (bonus points if you work at companies like Amazon and Google).
