Smoking area is at the pool
Although there are some nice things about this old, historic hotel, we chose it for the proximity to the convention center and the fact that it had a pool. In fact, we changed our reservation to this hotel, from a less expensive one, because of the pool! Unfortunately, that is the smoking area! My family wanted to cool off in the pool, but this is the only smoking area in the hotel. I wouldn't recommend it for this reason.
