The main entrance is near the check-in desk, close to the south end of the meeting room block. Imagine that the meeting room area is roughly a square with an add-on section on the north side at the northeast corner. The sleeping rooms form a print T that lies south of the meeting rooms with the stem running north-south and beginning half way back the south side of the east-west hallway, which begins at the front door and stretches west to the Simmering Pot Restaurant at the west end of the hall.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>The check-in desk is near the front door and on your left as you walk toward the Simmering Pot. Just past the desk on the left is the base of the sleeping-room T. You will find the three sets of elevators in this sleeping-room area. Convention registration will be located near the check-in desk in the lobby part of the east-west hall.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>As you walk west toward the Simmering Pot, on your left you will pass the check-in desk, the hall leading to sleeping rooms and elevators, and Vinney’s Lounge, where dinner is served as well as drinks during the evening. On the north (right) side of the hall are three corridors leading into the meeting-room area. The east-west hall is tile, and the three south-north meeting-room corridors are carpeted, as is the hallway leading to the sleeping rooms.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Just after you step into the hotel, you can turn right into the first meeting-room corridor. It is called the sales corridor because the sales and catering offices are on the right of the hall as you walk north. The Aspen Room is the first door on the left of this hall. There are restrooms on the right just north of the sales office. A pair of drinking fountains is just to the north of the men’s room. There is a low, wheelchair fountain and then a taller one. Neither reaches the floor, so they are a bit of a hazard since a cane will slide under them. After the fountains is a door to the outside, which is one of the dog relief areas as well as a seating area for smokers. There are two sets of doors to pass through to get out. There is a permanent trash receptacle outside, and the hotel staff will probably place a couple of others out there for your convenience. Please use them when picking up after your dog.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>On the west side of the hallway is a door into the Mulberry Room, which is our general session room. This door is located at the north side of the head table. There is another entrance on the south wall of the Mulberry Room at the west end, which means it is located at the back of the meeting room.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Returning to the sales hallway, the hall stops at the north end at a door into the Chestnut Rooms A and B. These will be breakout rooms, especially on Saturday. These two meeting rooms are the add-on space at the north end of the meeting-room square.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Returning to the east-west hallway, where the check-in desk is located, and walking west past the sales and catering corridor, you come to the second corridor leading north. This is opposite the check-in desk. Walking north in this carpeted hall, you pass the west door into the Aspen Room. If you stay to the right walking north, you will walk straight into the back door to the Mulberry room referred to above. Just to the left of that door is the door to the Sycamore Room and west of that room is the Cypress Room. These two rooms are the hospitality room on Friday night.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>On the west side of the south-north corridor is a door into the Board Room, and around the corner in the east-west corridor that passes the Cypress Room is another door into the Board Room. If you walk further west in this hall, you will cross the third of the north-south hallways. Just beyond this hall you will find a door on the south side of the hall, which leads into the Juniper Room. There is a second door into this room which is on the south end of the room and leads to the east-west hallway just outside the Simmering Pot Restaurant. There are restrooms on the east wall of the third north-south hall as well as the Butternut Room, which lies between the restrooms and the main east-west hallway. When you leave the carpeting, walking south, you will know that you are back in the main east-west hall. When you cross this hall, you will enter Vinney’s Lounge. The Simmering Pot Restaurant is on your right at the west end of the hall, and the front door of the hotel is to your left.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>When you begin walking east toward the check-in desk, you will pick up the carpeting leading south into the sleeping-room area. This is the stem of the T. All of the elevators are on the stem: the first two pairs of cars are on the left, and the third, single elevator is on the right, almost at the junction of the stem of the T with the cross piece. The left or east arm of the cross piece is shorter than the west arm. The sleeping rooms all have ADA signs. Even-numbered rooms are on the right, and odd-numbered rooms are on the left. Large circular mirrors with thick frames are hung at shoulder height alternately right and left in the hall, so be careful not to hug the walls as you walk, or you could locate the mirrors the hard way. There are ice and soft drink machines near all the elevators. On floors one and six there are rooms with a coin-operated washer and dryer. These are located just after the second elevator bay. There are three sets of elevators on the stem of the T. The first two sets go all the way to the sixth floor; the last elevator goes only to floor five. That elevator is located on the right (west) side of the hall almost at the cross-piece hall, and there are only five floors of rooms on the cross piece.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Body style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>A door leading to a dog-relief area on the west side of the corridor is across the hall from the second set of elevators.
