An 18,000 square foot ballroom is a stunning centerpiece accenting all 55,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. This facility is staffed with audiovisual equipment, Internet access and catering services.

Expert Tip. The hotel’s exclusive jazz club and cigar bar is located in the famed Celestial Suite, which served as the living quarters for and designed by the late Astrodome creator, Judge Roy Hoffeinz. The suite was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “most expensive hotel room,” and was designed by Academy Award winning set designer Harper Goff, who was responsible for “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.”

disgusted's rating:

"Filthy pig stay. Fire Marshal AND Health dept. need to shut it down! Hotel features they state-do not exist, no restaurant, no jazz club, no massage therapists, no newspapers, no maid service, audio/visual equipment still did not function properly after three days of conference, the "waterfall spa tub" wasn't working because it is a swamp. The fitness center was half empty, no cosmetologists or hair stylists. Renovation started in 2005??? I was there April 28, 2008--renovation were still going, it must have REALLY been a pit then-I don't see ANY upgrades. We actually left early beacuse we could not stand to be in the filth any longer. This system made me give a rating, even on rating of one is too high."
