<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/super8austin.jpg" class="top"> You don't want to know how we stumbled upon this <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g30196-d557377-r18134136-Super_8_Airport_South-Austin_Texas.html">TripAdvisor review</a> for the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Super+8+Motel+Airport+South/ian/229357">Super 8 Airport South</a> in Austin, Tex. but we sure are glad that our dubious internet skills took us here. That's because we might have found the superest Super 8 of them all. The reviewer mentioned that the hotel's lobby had a Nintendo Wii for guests to use. Yes, a Wii which proves that Wiis are not just limited to <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/12/23/224358/25/hotels/Serving_Up_the_Wii_at_Westin_Hotels">Westins</a> and boutique hotels. But looking around some more, we saw that the hotel was ranked the #2 hotel in Austin by reviewers. So what gives? It can't be entirely due to the Wii, could it? Well we noticed that

The Chamberlain West Hollywood, that mid-century modern recluse of a hotel in the heart of Weho, is shedding its shut-in image and inviting the masses in for sun, supper and style.

Okay, maybe not the masses, but whereas the hotel used to be the sole domain of guests and their friends, now you can join the Kor Group’s "My Urban Retreat" program. Members can use the hotel facilities and get discounts on food, pool cabana rentals, room rates, parking and meeting room rentals--just call ahead to make sure you can get into the rooftop pool area.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/26601/Tulalip_Players_Suite.jpg" class="top"> When it comes to Indian-run casinos, its all about expressing the local tribal culture through the propertys design, décor, and if youre lucky, customer service and cuisine. Frequently, the overall experience feels like Native American-themed overkill that rivals even the gaudiest high stake destinations in Sin City.At <a href=http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotels/state/us/WA?page=62>Tulalip Resort Casino</a>, the Tulalip Tribes has nailed the fine art of running a classy casino without the usual cheese factor in non-descript Marysville, Washington, no less. The gaming floor features more than 2,000 slot machines and 50 table games. The place is immaculately clean, tastefully designed, and the smoke ventilation system keeps the air remarkably breathable. Imagine that. The casinos restaurants, especially Black Fish and the more

At first, when we read <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/news/brad-pitt-takes-boys-to-las-vegas">the item</a> in Us Weekly that accuses you of ordering up three Nintendo Wii's to your room at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hard+Rock+Hotel+and+Casino/local/595">Hard Rock Las Vegas</a> this weekend (where you were staying with your two boys), we were kinda like, "well, whatever. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Wii%20Hotels">Lots of hotels offer</a> Nintendo Wii's as amenities upon request but apparently the Pitt boys needed one Wii for each individual. Whatever. Next!" But then we realized that the Hard Rock Las Vegas doesn't offer Nintendo Wii's to its guests. Oh, no no. In fact, when we called the hotel, they told us they offered "nothing like that." But the concierge would be happy to

Serving Up the Wii at Westin Hotels

Westin Hotels first announced that they would be installing Wiis in their fitness centers last April and now we have some actual action shots of peeps enjoying the Wiis.

It's kinda strange to us that Wii is taking over the hotel fitness center but if it gets your heart rate up then we guess that's all that matters. Except we would never—never!—want to be caught looking that serious about Wii on camera. Ever.

Another picture is after the jump. Thanks Kyle!
