We were there for a convention and wanted to be close to the Messe. Be aware that depending on the entrance of the convention, your path to the Messe may be LONGER than expected. Overall the hotel was great! Big room, but with just basic necessities -- nothing fancy. Bed was comfy, but no Air conditioning which was tough with one of our days the temps reached 85 degrees! The furniture was slightly worn, and the overall look of the hotel is ECONOMY -- nothing fancy nor nice here. On the good side, the rate was great, the location super, and overall our experience with the hotel was just great. The front desk folks were wonderful, there is an ample bar in the lobby and overall, we had a great experience!
