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 had that whole waterfall, grotto effect going on, with a kiddie pool and a hot tub. Finally, our room appeared to have been recently renovated. The carpet, wall covering, and bedspreads seemed to be in decent shape and the housekeeping staff did a good job each day. However, there were several problems. The guy at the front desk was nice, but overly so. He overstepped his purpose by asking personal questions and trying to be a comedian. Although the room appeared clean, for a no smoking room, it smelled nasty. We had to walk around a construction dumpster to get to the door of our ground level room. The room next door had been completely gutted. We also had a small balconey overlooking a mountain stream (that some may call a glorified drainage ditch), but the sliding glass door was off the track, making it very difficult to open and close. The view also included another hotel just across the stream. The two double beds were hard and uncomfortable and the bathroom was very small. With room for only one person at a time in front of the bathroom mirror, we had to get ready in shifts. There were other mirrors, but the lighting was not good enough for putting on makeup. Overall, this hotel is satisfactory if you need a cheap place to stay and don't plan on spending a lot of time in your room. The indoor pool is a good feature for the cold winter months.
