Nice hotel undergoing renovations. Clean, comfortable and a short walking distance from the convention center and NASCAR museum.
I'd like to suggest to runners a great route: the fantastic Little Sugar Creek Greenway. Entrance to the greenway is 0.6 miles from the hotel front door. South to McDowell, east one block, then south on E. 3rd St. Just past I-277 you'll see the trail.
This trail is 19 miles long. Run south if you're up for a good, long run. It's about 2.5 miles to the center of Freedom Park -- a 5-mile roundtripper!
When I asked the front desk for a good running route, they had nothing to suggest. Which is a shame, since this is one of the finest urban trails I have ever run!
Enjoy.
