Hotel Comments: The renovations are complete and what a difference! The hotel is so much better than it was a few months ago. It's practically brand new and very updated and modern, but most importantly comfortable. None of the crappy Holiday Inn look and feel. Hotel now has wireless internet throughout the hotel. The rooms have been remodeled and now feature Sleep Number Beds (if you don't like the Sleep Number Beds, you can ask the front desk to change your room for a "normal" bed because I was told that the hotel has 10% of the rooms that have "normal" beds and rest are Sleep Number). There is a business center with computers and printers in main lobby. The lobby now has a nice "lounge" feel to it. The pool has been completely renovated and so has the hot tub. There's also a new gym/fitness center near the pool area. Also near the pool area, there's another lounge/sitting area with plasma TV, etc. There's also pool tables and arcade games in the same area as well.

Dining Comments: Good number of choices to choose from. The hotel restaurant is pretty good and offers crews 20% discount. It is now named The Traveling Fork. Good selection of food and drinks (happy hour 5-7pm). There's a Red Robin across the street as well as some "gourmet" sandwich place and a Thai restaurant near there as well. Also across from the hotel is a mall which has a few places to eat, like Bar Louie's, Max & Erma's, California Pizza Kitchen, Subway, etc.

Entertainment Comments: Not much to do besides the mall and a movie theater nearby. The van driver will take you within like 5 miles, but the vans are normally pretty busy so you might wait for a while to get a ride. The hotel is located in the suburbs so there's basically no public transportation nearby and it's about 25 minutes to the city, so if you're looking to go into the city itself, it'll cost you some cash to take a cab there. Otherwise...eat, drink, sleep, shop, swim, workout, play pool, play arcades, watch t.v., or surf the net.

Entertainment Comments: Hang out at Panera, read newspapers, drink coffee and eat the very chocolate brownie.

Hotel Comments: Hotel is still undergoing pretty heavy renovations, but most of it has been done and it is a HUGE improvement from a few months ago. The pool looks completely new, as well as the gym which has all new equipment, plasma TV's, dumb-bells. There are also pool tables now. The rooms have been completely renovated and are now really nice.... like Hilton nice. Sleepnumber beds, free internet...not bad at all.

Dining Comments: Plenty of places to eat. Shanahans in the hotel has pretty good food, great beer selection and the prices are pretty good. Plenty of other places across the street at the mall. Bar Louie's, Max & Erma's, California Pizza Kitchen, food court with Subway etc.

Entertainment Comments: Not a whole lot. Like mentioned before, there's the mall and the movie theater.

October 19, 2007

Hotel Comments: Place is now called Radisson. It's still the same location, but different company. Still smells and feels like most Holiday Inns. I will reserve my comments for later as the hotel is under major renovations which hopefully will improve it. As of now, I think the is not so hot, but hopefully will improve after renovations.

Dining Comments: Good food at the restaurant/bar in the hotel, plus plenty of places across the street in the mall and a few others within walking distance.

Entertainment Comments: The mall across the street.
