| - Loved having the mini-pool table at my disposal, my own private pool, and the elevator always at the ready. A trifle sad to see all that air-conditioned hipness going to waste on little ol' me. Got exceptional service though - pool hours extended, late check-out, and ice chest filled for a summertime hike up South Mountain - no snickering included.
The decor of the room was space-age coolness with a touch of rock and roll, and the dressing area made me feel as if I were in the suite of a mega jet. The decorator touches just saved the long hallway from "Shining" creepiness. To top it all off, Bliss products (however miniaturized)!
Someday the location will be wonderful - I guess it already is for fall football games at Sundevil Stadium, but I got the impression it was along a lake trail and steps from trendy shops. The river/lake is more like a stagnant green canal, and the shops are a lonely strip mall consisting of In-N-Out, Starbucks, by-the-ounce yogurt, and one or two other fast foods. All this is surrounded by bare, baking concrete. Eventually the landscaping will take hold, and this will become the extension of Mill Avenue... then the likes of me will never get on the once lonely pool table...
