This is the hotel we stayed at for blizzcon 2017. At first we were really impressed by the newly updated interior, there is a pizza place that serves beer attached. Wonderful. Then we tried to check into our room. We were informed that they were having computer issues and it would take another 30 minutes or so to check us in. No problem, we arrived early anyway and wanted to eat. So we went to the pizza press which I can't say enough good things about. Tasty pizza and beer, great staff. So after a few drinks and a full belly we we're ready to go to our room. Unfortunately they still couldn't check us in. Apparently it was an issue with payment processing. Since we we're tired, tipsy, and full now we we're a bit irritated. We offered to leave the physical card, write a check for the stay, pay in cash. Nothing would work. Whatever. It was still before check in, and we needed to get our badges for blizzcon. So we drunkenly walk over to the convention center and back again. Surely after this we can check into our room. Nope. Now they don't have a time frame for when we could check in. We ended up waiting a solid 5 hours drunk, tired, and now dehydrated in the waiting room. At least the couches we're decent enough for a nap. When we finally made our way into our room, it was definitely a disappointment. It was an outdated motel room. There were 3 people staying in a double king room. One of them had a CPAP and all 3 of us had phones. Well we couldn't actually charge all of our electronics because there were not enough outlets. So we had to share an outlet which when you're at a convention all day, you come back ready for bed and a mostly dead phone. But nope, we had to stay up to swap phones and bring a charger to the convention center to top it off. The cherry on top was that we found a roach in our room. I checked everywhere and couldn't find any evidence of any more so it was probably one that crawled into the room from the outside. But even still it didn't make us feel clean for the rest of the trip.
The only reason why I'm giving it 2 stars is because the pizza place was amazing, and you get a discount if you're staying in the hotel.
