[blindkid] Convention hotel questions

Hi Holly,

I've stayed twice at this hotel- I like the tower rooms but both atrium and
tower are very nice.  Unfortunately, only a Denny's is within walking
distance for food. I think it's worth the while to consider a car rental if
you have the whole family.  My husband made frequent runs for our family of
four to the McDonald's for breakfast and Subway for lunch for us when we
were there two years ago.  A car also saves the cost of the cab/shuttle ride
to and from the airport. On the downside I recall about a $15 per day
parking fee so I would take that into consideration. Several good restarants
not too far away but not walkable- maybe a cab ride would be feasible some
nights?  I just called the hotel to confirm a rumor I had heard- several of
the restaurants in the hotel are closed for re-modeling.  You can check the
hotel website for a list of current hotel eating options.

Hi!
We are booked in one of the Atrium buildings (the one that has the indoor
pool) and was wondering if this was the "better" than being in the tower or
should I see if we can get switched to the tower.  Reading reviews it sounds
like the hotel is HUGE.

Is there anything interesting in walking distance?  Mainly wondering about a
little grocery store or fast food places so we can save a little money not
eating in the hotel.

I did read in several places internet access is around $17 a day so I think
I'll skip dragging the laptop!

Anything else good to know?  I can't believe it's just a few weeks away!
