The hotel was a lovely venue for a conference. Loved the water slide, the many restaurants, the whole downtown atmosphere. Didn't like that my room on a nonsmoking floor was permeated with smoke smell in my bedding and towels. Tip: put a towel against the door crack, turn on the A/C, and the bathroom fan, then use the spare pillow from the closet that isn't stinky. Then put it back during the day. My room was gorgeous in the Gold Tower, desk staff was friendly and efficient. I had a very nice stay.
