Very nice. It's good to see these behemoth convention center hotels start to take on a nicer style. So many of them at first were just giant boxes. So utilitarian and boring. While we already have our official convention center hotel, there's a plan for another one by Marriott, and so far I am not liking it. I hope they take cues from this one and also the one in Fort Worth. I understand it's usually a cost issue that makes them plain and simple, but these hotels are usually one of the first things a visitor to your city will see and interact with and also it advertises the city a bit. So it should make sense to make their designs pleasing to the eye.

I really like that entrance. Very cool building.
