I have stayed here twice on business related to a conference held in the convention center next door. I will grant you it is an older building and there are some things that could be refurbished. But here are the pluses: great location next to convention center and close to more restaurants and activities than I can count, quiet, clean, comfortable bed, good food in the restaurant/bar. The staff is very helpful and friendly - as good as any hotel ever. In particular Juan and Susan in the restaurant/bar are wonderful, friendly, helpful, and efficient. It was always nice to walk in an see one or both of them on duty as I knew I would be well taken care of.
