We just stayed at the Sidney James Mountain Lodge and it was just wonderful. It is an older hotel, but everything was clean and well kept. The front desk staff was very friendly and very helpful. The owners of the on-site restraunt were also very friendly and the food was pretty good. We stayed in a King room, creek side.... more

I've stayed at this hotel twice. The first time, I was with a buddy and we were drunk the whole time (Spring Break), so it wasn't so bad. The only thing I remembered on my first stay was that I walked in with my friend behind me and saw only one bed. I quickly backed out of the room and... more

For about eight years we tolerated the stay at Ledwell, because the management... more

The smell when we walked in was very musty, the tub was brown/black in the bottom, the kleenex holder was completely rusted and only attached to the wall by the two bottom screws so... more

I hate to be totally negative about this place, because there are some good points. First of all, the rates were that best that I could find for a hotel with an indoor pool within walking distance to the Convention Center. We stayed 2 nights and got an extra night free. Next, the indoor pool area looked pretty neat. It... more
