Marriott with no pool vs Crown Plaza with Pool

I can't decide! We are visiting in early November and are bringing our 2 1/2 year old with us, so I think having a pool is important. So, do we stay at the Marriott without a pool, or the Crowne Plaza with a pool? The Westin is booked. Help!

Just bumping for you!
If we brought our son, also, 2.5 yrs old, he would have LOVED the pool!
But we didn'd and I am glad we were at the Marriott b/c it was great and there are a lot of families adopting there.

Tough decision!

What happened to the pool at the Marriott?
When we were there year 1/2 ago the pool was very nice. I even loved the pool side service they had.

The Marriott pool is being renovated.
I just worry that my son will be bored at a hotel, but really want to enjoy the community of other adoptive families. Hence, my indecision.

We are in PGN but when we FINALLY get to do the PU trip we are taking out 4 year old son. Who would love the pool. THe Marriott is now saying it won't even be done in December and after seeing a picture of it....I don't see it being done until sometime in the spring. We love the Marriott and that is where we are staying next week on our visit....but we might go somewhere else on the PU trip if it is still not finished. I think the pool will be great for our son and it will be something for him to do. It's tough though because the Marriott is soooooo wonderful!
