Great location for the trade center. it is a quick walk across the bridge and easy to get to. I enjoyed being in a hotel more separate from the convention. Right on the water, easy walks or tram ride to any restaurant or site we wanted to see. You literally walk either side of the river and there are tons of options to eat/drink and see.
