| - As a first-time visitor, I was extremely impressed with how beautiful and fancy this hotel is. There is so much to look at, just walking around on the first floor which is the size of a small shopping mall (it was more than a quarter mile walk from my hotel room to the convention center, according to my fitbit).
I thought the room was very cozy and nice-- I loved the walk-in shower/tub. Housekeeping kept me well-supplied with little shampoos/lotions. Wifi is free for the basic level, or you can pay $49 (!!!) to double the speed for 48 hours.
I wasn't much a fan of the touch-screen remote to control all of the lights, TV, curtains, etc. because the touch pad was sensitive and would sometimes skip past the channel I was trying to get to, and the lighting setup was confusing. Go to turn off some lights and it ends up turning off EVERYTHING and shutting the curtains.
The pool is decent, but definitely more adult-oriented (no slides or fun stuff for kids).
The gym was great -- they provide towels and free water bottles. It's a large gym so there are plenty of machines available.
The convention center was gorgeous and, I'm not sure if this is a reflection on the hotel or the convention I attended, but they provided refreshments and snacks at every break (so every hour) and the breakfasts and lunches were the same food you would get in The Buffet (AKA super yummy without having to fork out $$$).
