Wifey is very particular about her rooms. From looking at the traveler's photos, I felt pretty good, but the carpets looked old and very work (kinda dirty in appearance). We had to stay for a conference though, so it was going to happen.
CHECK_IN: The train from the airport went directly to the convention center. From there we took an elevator up to the convention center and then followed the many signs across the bridge to the hotel without ever setting foot outdoors. We were checked in at the VIP station very promptly and got our room.
ROOM: It was very clean, comfy. The carpet was ugly and dated, but very clean nonetheless. The TV was very small and cheap for such an expensive place, they def need to upgrade. the beds were great, nice bedding, very comfortable and clean again.
AMENITIES: We didn't use the pool area at all, but I did use the fitness center. It was pretty small, but adequate. They had about 8-9 treadmills, some ellipticals, some nautilus equipment, and some dumbells with benches. Not bad, I got a good workout in anyway.
LOCATION: right in the middle of everything downtown and a short walk to shopping, restaurants, nightlife, etc. Also, connected by tunnels and bridges to the convention center, many shops and restaurants, the reading terminal market, etc., for your convenience so that you don't have to set foot outside. Also, the Fedex and starbuck's in the lobby were a great convenience!
CONFERENCE ROOMS: the conference rooms were pretty standard for a nice hotel. They were nice, well-equipped, and decent sized.
VALUE: very pricey in my opinion. We paid $200/nt for the conference but I'm sure it is usually more. For what you are getting, you should be paying $100-130 tops in my opinion. I would trade the convention center convenience to cut the price in half any day of the week!
