Landmark hotel getting a new face lift!

Built in the late 1960's, it still has that heavy dark wood carvings and old style, but it's a big one and can hold the biggest events for the Tri-Cities. Infact the state Wine events hold their wine fair there and my WA state Realtor Business conference will be held there in 2008. It is next to the air port, community college and Sun Willows golf course. I love Bin 20, a new wine bar restaurant and gourmet food. There is the garden cafe and the Grizzly sports bar. The garden cafe if it is busy can get alittle unorganized. The Bin 20 and cafe pay their bill at the same place which is confusing, need to seperate it or have the customer pay at the table in the Bin 20. I have always had great service. Except when they get over loaded at the front desk then their organizational skills lack. All the air port pilots and flight staff book there so watch out for trying to check out at their times, check with the desk when they check in or check out. I think the lobby needs more furniture to sit on. At big events or even checking in or out, it would be nicer to have more sitting areas. They need a gift shop to get toliet supplies and other items. They use to have one and use to have a coffee bar too. They need to bring those back.
