Hotel Comments:
|
|
The hotel is nothing special, typical Holiday Inn. The rooms are ok. The bathroom toilets, there's something to be said about them, must have been designed by small people or something. It's about 20 minutes or so from the airport and the van is usually never there on time, so I suggest you call them as soon as you can. The van picks up from Zone 11, all the way at the end. There basically nothing to do around the hotel at all except the mall. The mall actually is not too bad, but that's about it. There's a gas station right next to the hotel with a small convenience store. There is free wired internet in the rooms, but has crappy service. There is a hotel restaurant that gives us 20% off. There is a business center as well.

Places To Eat:

The hotel restaurant will give crews 20% off. There are plenty of places to eat at or around the mall. A typical large food court at the mall. Around the perimeter of the mall, there's a PF Chang's, Ruby Tuesday, Cheesecake Factory, Starbucks, etc. There's a Mexican place on the other side of the parking deck (forget the name) that has very good food and good prices, specially for lunch specials. There's also a McDonald's within walking distance, right before the mall.

Things To Do:

Eat and sleep or go shopping at the mall. Nothing else to do near by. If you have a long overnight and can get downtown somehow, there you can find many bars, restaurants, lounges, etc. There is a map located in the lobby you can pick up. They have a Flying Saucer downtown! Walk to the mall or get some beer at the gas station next door. To get to the mall, head out of the hotel to the right, through the gas station and there you'll find some wooden stairs that will lead you to the walking path along the creek and under the highway. Just follow that path all the way (about 5-7 minutes) and it'll lead you to the entrance of the mall, or McDonald's.
