Ok!. I was not going to book my wedding block here. Because on the outside this place looked pretty bad. But then my block at the Westin, across the parking lot was full and the hotel was literally totally sold out and I was near a breakdown and I no longer had a choice, if my guests were to be able to not have to drink and drive from my wedding reception. So this was it.

Upon my guests coming here though I got quite a few that told me it really wasn't as bad as they had thought it was going to be based on the reviews. (The most recent ones seemed to be in the summer of 09 and my wedding was in the mid fall of 2009). I think that it had been remodeled since the reviews. And the week of the wedding I came in and checked out the rooms too with my friends and yes they looked better than the pictures showed.

So yes it was better than we thought. Good job. And they matched the parking rates for the Westin and had lower rates for the rooms than the Westin (would hope so since the rooms were not quite as nice!)

Thank goodness Clarion!…
