It's a fairly easy hotel to get around.  When you go in the front 
door,
there is a small lobby, with the front desk on the right and the 
elevators
on the left.  In front of you is a set of glass doors, often 
open, that goes
into the atrium.  The atrium contains the ice rink, where there 
is usually
music.  As you go through the doors to the atrium, four meeting 
rooms are on
the left--the Washington, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.  (I 
may have the
order wrong.)  the Pennsylvania room is on the right.  The 
meetings are
usually in the Maryland and Virginia rooms, which are the 
farthest from the
entrance.

On the right, there is an area with tables and chairs.  Beyond 
that, going
around to your right, there is a set of steps going up to the 
restaurant.
There is also a small shop where you can buy ice cream and other 
unhealthy
goodies.

the ice rink is in the middle, so you are always walking around 
it.  There
are many plants along the wall, so unless I am looking for a 
specific
doorway, I stay closer to the middle.  The registration table and 
any other
tables are usually in front of the meeting rooms.

 Hi everyone,

 I've been coming to state conventions for a while now, but have 
been going
 sighted guide for the majority of the time during those 
conventions.  Yes,
 I admit it! :) This year, I want to try to navigate the hotel as
 independently as I can during the convention.  So, do any of you 
have any
 tips for me on navigating the hotel with a cane, especially the 
convention
 meeting rooms (getting there, too) and the exhibit hall? Any 
information
 you provide would be appreciated! Thanks! See you at convention!

 Chris
