Travel tips
If you’re driving, plan a few extra minutes to park and walk back, as guest feedback indicates the included parking can be a couple hundred yards away near the convention center.

Some guests report late-night street noise from cars and loud music, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs or a white-noise option.
