This is my all time favorite place to stay when coming for an event at the University. It is about a 3/4 of a mile walk, which is very convenient. I love the decor of the rooms (very 70's chic) and the Swim Club bar is so COOL! The staff has never been less than stellar and also helpful in so many ways--from front desk to bar staff to management. The food is very good and quick to get to you once ordered. I just can't say enough about this hotel! I am hoping nothing changes since it is now a Renaissance branded hotel...

Wonderful hotel conveniently located near downtown and concert venues. I am a returning guest, and the staff was incredibly kind and quick. The rooms are great, and the beds are so comfortable.
