Had a conference at the Shaw Center and was an easy 15 min walk and the price was great in comparison to hotels closer to the venue. The staff were fantastic and helpful. I had to make a couple of unexpected changes and they accommodated them, thank you staff! Restaurants were also close by and rooms were great. Only con was that breakfast was the same all 4 days that I stayed there. I highly recommend this hotel.
