GrandView Hotel & Convention Center
Good value, great views, room was clean, bed was comfortable, the air conditioner was cold and the included breakfast was pretty decent. I wish the pool opened a little earlier than 10am so I could do a workout swim to start the day. Overall, we had a nice 3 night stay.
