I've stayed at this Radisson a few times over the past 10 years and seen it steadily decline. At its best it was a 3-star hotel, but the last time I stayed there about a year ago it was looking pretty run down. The halls were dingy and scary. The room was unclean and resembled one you'd find at a Days Inn. Our room was right next to the railroad tracks and the walls vibrated violently when the train went by (about every 30 minutes). Most travel sites rate this at 3-stars, it is not.
That said, I believe this is now a Crowne Plaza so maybe they've updated the rooms and cleaned things up. Check first. Otherwise, go to the Sheraton up the street, same rates, MUCH, MUCH nicer and in a better neighborhood.

Okay
Bedding in the crowned plaza hotels are very comfortable and home feeling.Did not like to pay extra for parking when they had plenty of parking for guests and conference goers. Over all it was pretty good. I was just unhappy not getting the room we...
