In neither case was the fit a happy one for fandom, but in the latter case, the hotel performed so badly that a Bad Hotel Award was created: The Commode d'Ore: The Golden Crapper. One guess as to the first winner.
Other conventions held there include Infinity 74, Sflaggcon, and the huge Star Trek Lives!
