The hotel's proximity to the convention center was very convenient, just a short walk. The food options were diverse, catering to various tastes. I found my room to be spacious and quiet. The breakfast included many choices such as fresh fruit, pastries, and hot dishes.

The room temperature was difficult to regulate, it felt warmer than the hallway, cooler.
