Beautiful and Convenient
I stayed at the hotel for 10 days for a convention and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Had a special convention rate, so can't really speak to value for money. The hotel is new and beautiful. It's right across the street from the convention center and is connected by "sky bridge" walkways that make it easy (and cool - I was there during a heat wave) to get there. Baseball park is also right across the street. Rooms are pretty standard for a big corporate hotel like this - great beds, nice big flat screen TV, good work space with both wired and wireless internet connectivity, good bathroom with all the amenities. The two restaurants, High Velocity (a sports bar style place - good service, very quick service, decent menu) and Ostaria Pronto (Italian dinner - but I only ate breakfast there - a great breakfast buffet) were excellent. Ordered room service twice and they quoted "30 to 45 minutes," but both times the food was there within 10 minutes. And the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. At registration the woman who checked me in came out from behind her desk and walked me to the elevators. Later when I asked about the computers where you can print a boarding pass, the person I spoke with walked me to those, too. And everyone greets you every time they see you. I would recommend this place if a big corporate hotel is what you're looking for. It's lovely.
