Location is great!

Our WA state Realtors Business Conference was just held there and I stayed 3 nights. I like the big pillows and I also bring my own pillows if I drive. The beds are very comfy with the pillowtop. I liked the remodeled rooms. The room I had, the bath was very tiny! I had to go side ways into the door or else bang my shoulders. One person could only be in there at one time. I am not very tall, and wonder if my very tall husband could have stood up in that shower/tub. I requested a clean shower curtain and they were there right away. The housekeeping was there after 12noon or later. I was gone to business meetings all day, so that didn't bother me. their wireless is not available till you sign up with their Net4 software and my wireless phone couldn't get the internet either without signing up. We are coming back next week for my husbands Union Conference so I will have him figure it out for the wireless service and I am going to bring my puppy girls. I scoped it all out and like the lower level rooms with direct access out to a patio and grass area, perfect to potty my girls. I also like the direct access to the Riverpark. So I plan on taking walks with my girls this next week. There are 2 restaurants, Windows, Atrium cafe & the Lounge & Expresso bar. I really had 2 wonderful meals at Windows and had excellant service. If you go there try the Mac&cheese dinner, very gourmet, with scallops, asparagus and Cougar cheese, just wonderful! I then had the steak the next night and requested Blue cheese and was given that right away and the views of the river was great too. The only thing that seems to need reorganizing is the location of the check in/out desk. If there is a long line it blocks a main thru way. The shuttle van service is great and we got shuttled to restaurants and shopping, just have to get on their schedule. Very good location in this very pretty city.
