I travel a fair amount for business and am always looking for hotels with a legitimate pool, i.e. not something that resembles a hot tub. Thought others might have the same problem so thought I would start a thread to keep everyone informed of my experiences and others can post theirs too.
Atlanta - Marriott Marquis (downtown). They have a pool that is oddly shaped. Not rectangular, closer to a large triangle, about 15 yards on each side. You can't really do laps but can hug the wall and swim almost in circles, assuming no one is in your way.
Boston - Copley Square Marriott (Back Bay). They have a legit 25 m pool with lap lanes.
Indianapolis - Courtyard Marriott (by the Capital). Their "pool" is probably less than 10 m long. Don't waste your time.
Was in Minneapolis last week for work. I reviewed the hotel I stayed (The Marquette) at over here:

The hotel itself doesn't have a pool but allows guests to use the downtown YMCA. I used the pool there twice, about 2500 to 3000 yards each time. I heard there is a masters group that uses that pool, but I rather enjoyed swimming on my own a few times.
