Every year the first w-e in January, there's a lovely cat show held at this Sheraton, and I must admit that it's one of my favorite venues...so nice to have a show held in a hotel in the winter. This Sheraton is right off the Interstate. My room with king-size bed was good size, with a pull-out couch and sitting area, and had nice bathroom with ameneties. The facility has a decent pool and exercise room, too. The hotel has a kind of strange configuration built around its atrium and dining area, and you have to deal with heavy doors to get to the single elevator for the majority of the rooms. There is another elevator, but it's for the club section (that one's conveniently off the front lobby). The front desk staff is very professional. As I was a vendor at the show, I had a carton shipped to the hotel, and they brought it to my vending area.
One caveat: their in-room internet is free for only 1 hour of your stay, but there's generally not a lot of traffic for the computer stations off the lounge, or for the stations on the second floor of the conference area. Oh, yes...that's the third elevator...between the ground and first floors of the conference area, which is located at the back of the hotel. Nice-sized ballrooms if you're planning a function.
Many of the cat show folks arrive on Friday night, and most of us are too bushed to go out to eat. The only available hotel dining facility on Friday is the pub, and its down-side is that service is very slow...not because of the wait staff, but because the kitchen is a hike from the pub...but our food did arrive hot. The food is tasty. I enjoyed the ribs, and friends ordered burgers, which were flavorful.
Parking is free, but breakfast is not, unless you have vouchers included in your room package. They serve a very good weekend buffet brunch, too.
