I attended Demicon 37 here.
I didn't get a room, but the ones I saw were quite nice. Access wasn't difficult, though I had to drive around the Bennigans in the lot - had dinner there, was pricey but very tasty.
The thing that impressed me most was the service. Even though I didn't have a room, Shelley and Theresa helped me several times, even going so far as to help me print up character sheets for me scheduled game.

I had an amazing experience thanks to Teresa. She went out of her way to accommodate me with a 3 a.m. airport ride, even though the shuttle service doesn’t typically operate at that time. Her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help did not go unnoticed. She made a huge difference in my trip!

Our flight was delayed and we arrived at the airport late, and even though it was past the cutoff time for shuttles the front desk associate Theresa picked us up herself - she was an absolute pleasure to talk to on the ride back and incredibly kind for helping us. The hotel was also very clean and well run, can't recommend enough!
