| - You can't beat the location, and the staff were excellent. We had trouble with the hair dryer in our room, and a member of the housekeeping staff was there within 4 minutes of our calling the front desk. The issue was resolved quickly and pleasantly. Reservations at a local restaurant were also made by the front desk staff in a speedy manner. They also allowed me to tour a few different types of rooms for our next stay.
Parts of the decor are a little dated, especially in the common areas. I will say, though, that this is the impression you get right when you enter the lobby because of the gold gates all along the side of the bar/restaurant in the lobby. It looks very 80's fabulous. However, there is a story behind the gold, and it's pretty cool - check it out when you are near the restaurant. The decor in the room was okay, and the bathroom had clearly been updated recently. The bathroom was tiny, but it was laid out very intelligently, so it wasn't problematic.
We had a standard room with 2 queen beds and a refrigerator, which was fine for our family of 3. The TV was not fancy, but why are you watching television here? Go out and do something fun! I toured an oversized double queen room, and there wasn't much of a difference - the room was a little wider, and the sleeping area was a little longer, but it didn't add much usable space. It did have a desk, but it was crammed in there. If you needed to use a port-a-crib, the extra bit of room in this upgrade might be worth it, but otherwise - not so much.
Valet parking is free, which is lovely. The bar didn't have a very wide selection, but the bartender provided generous pours and service that was attentive without being obnoxious. The pool is small, but we never found it to be crowded. The "game room" leaves a bit to be desired, but again - why are you playing video games? Go out!
