CHI has kind of a similar.....yet larger experience on both ends.... there....but I think the public transportation makes it more appealing for some to stay in the city there.
I don't think parking would be much of an issue because many would be at the hotels or taking the train in from the airport...and those that need to park...so many lots within 1/2 mile are never full mid-week and never on the weekends. |
Absolutely right. What many don't realize though is that everything is maybe not quite as close and all together around Cleveland's downtown as it is in Chicago in Rosemont around the convention center. Just hope it does come back to Cleveland someday, regardless of what the location is.
