Some areas are run down but it's not trashy (place was built in '72). It's huge w/ 4 ballrooms, 4 pools (1 indoors), a whirlpool & sauna (indoors), excercise room, tennis courts, beautiful courtyards, a western bar w/ live racetrack betting, a cocktail lounge, a cafe, a restaurant, room service, laundry service & free 24-hr shuttle to/from the airport. Some of the front desk staff are rude, and while most hotels offer free local calls, this isn't one of them. The rooms are very nice but they don't have coffeemakers, hair dryers and irons in the rooms (they have them but you have to special request them). Rates are low. For what you get it's a bargain.
Pros: lots of amenities, reasonable rates, good location
Cons: service isn't great, conventions = noise, needs better upkeep
