This was the hotel where I had the Best Nights Sleep ever away from home. more on Yahoo! Travel

We also found the location very convenient for out of towners and it was great that the hotel was just two blocks from the ceremony! more on CitySearch

While the hotel has now acheived historic landmark status, the hotel has been renovated (and renamed) so that I hardly recognize it. more on VirtualTourist

There are a number of other good hotels in the area; I'll be trying one of those my next trip. more on TravelPost.com
