We had a great time as usual. The car show was fun. Breakfast was great. Have to say the only thing we didn't like was the cleaning carts blocking the hallway right outside our door when we were attempting to leave the hotel.

The hotel is very nice. Our room was very spacious and we had vaulted ceilings which made it seem larger. There was an additional room that had a sink and was great for putting makeup on.
