The location was so convenient. Steps from the convention center with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. We stayed during a convention weekend. The hotel was full. I was impressed by how caring and attentive the staff were with so many guests there. Shaugnessy in particular was wonderful: proactive, responsive and always cheerful. Would definitely return.
