1. we stayed here for my husbands convention and it was close to the center we walked however once we got to the convention center we realized just how big the convention center is his conference was probably 2 miles down there our room was nice it had a king bed suite so it had an extra little room it was room 1202 which was weird at first cause we had to walk back outside to get to our room but not a big deal at all our balcony faced julia st and our view was the bridge and alot of buildings but it was still nice the cooked to order omlets were good and so was everything the reception at night we only made it to once but that was good too I had one minor problem and that was my room key didnt' work 2 times so i had to go back to get it re coded but they were polite about it One day i sat out by the pool which was nice but noisy from the traffic but stili was on vacation so it was peaceful.
