Does anyone know what type of rooms are available at the Columbia Club? They have a bunch of different types but no specific rooms are listed.
We stayed there 3 years ago. The lobby area is exquisite and the location isn't bad. It's a good location for Steampunk photos, for example. However, the rooms are very, very old school as the building was a gentleman's club at the turn of the last century. The rooms are small, cramped, and in our case mildewy/smoky (despite my contacting the hotel in advance that I had asthma and needed a really clean room :::sigh:::). We also have a lovely room view of a brick wall! If I had no other downtown choice, I'd go with them, but it would be at the bottom of my list.

The hotel staff seemed confused--then amused--by GenCon. We were in full out, elaborate cosplay for each of the 4 days, and we used kick scooters to commute to and from the Convention Center. Definitely NOT your average, conservative hotel goer. ;-) Typical gamers, we chatted up everyone and tipped well, so they loved us. Interestingly, the bell hop/door men shared with us that the really scary types are when the Porn Industry is in town for their convention. They said the women looked unhappy and uncomfortable, the men looked pissed off all the time and shouted into their phones a lot. They love the Gamers as we are always happy/laughing and like to talk about things.
