This would be my 2nd stay here and it is still great as the first one. I appreciate how easily accessible the hotel is to park, to get to restaurants literally a walk away, and not a far drive to the convention center. The employees were also wonderful in assisting our accommodations. I definitely plan to make this my go to place to book.
