This hotel is a well done retro reno place. It is a former old-fashioned motel with rooms surrounding the outdoor pool. There are lots of great eateries and it is a very convenient walk to DPAC. The property has lots of amenities, including yoga, room service and a poolside bar. The only downside to this is that there was a dj at the pool during the afternoon, and it was so loud that, even with our door closed and pillows over our heads, we couldn't block out the sound. However, it did make for a very communal atmosphere.
