Midpointe Hotel By Rosen Hotels & Resorts

Not bad, walking distance to convention center

Pros: When I first walked into the room it smelled like carpet shampoo, which was nice (although made me wonder what had happened that required a carpet cleaning). Generally, it was a nice stay in a basic room. Convenient location to convention center (half a block away), very clean room, comfortable bed, big fridge, microwave, free wi-fi that worked most of the time, free parking, nice (but cold) outdoor pool. The Denny's next door had the friendliest servers I've ever had.

Cons: The deal with the Clarion Inn next door for breakfast was not worth it. You can pay $3.99 to go next door for the hot breakfast, which was extremely crowded, worse than average items (I'm not a picky eater at all, but I threw out my eggs, which tasted like cardboard), and no one seemed to care if we had paid or not. The other issue is that an acquaintance staying in a different room (different building, actually) at the Red Roof Inn found bedbugs. They took photos and actually caught the bedbugs, so they didn't imagine it or make it up. I checked my room VERY carefully and saw no bedbugs. Bottom line: Nice clean room in a convenient location, good deal for the money, but check for bedbugs and skip the Clarion's breakfast (eat at Denny's or I-HOP next door).
