I've got bad news for the radisson astrodome occupants. We stayed at the radisson for the lone star regional this weekend. To start out with, the hot tub was out of service. It had a nice waterfall grotto but the hot water pump is out of service and the part is on order. Not to mention the hot tub water was a mucky yellowish color. I think the hot water pump may cause the second problem with the freezing cold water in their to pools. It was 80 degrees all weekend but yet the pools were frigid. Because we insisted on swimming we resorted to taking an arctic plunge into the pool and then quickly retreating to the sauna and repeating. And don't worry about the sauna's rules, my favorite being: Remove all clothing and jewelry and cover loosely with towel before entering the sauna.

Maybe part of the reason I was dissapointed in my room was it was in the last building of the complex and that one of my roommates placed the do not disturb sign on our door the whole time and stained our bathtub pink. If you have room number 6129 check for the pink tub. I hope these problem are fixed before wednesday because we might end up their again. It is really close to the reliant park and can be fun because the hotel is large. I just hope we can talk our mentor out of the 9:00 o'clock curfew to be in our rooms we had.

Good luck at nationals and I hope you have your grotto hot tub.
