2014 National Sheraton?

I'm surprised so many people are staying in downtown. I thought the convention center was in downtown but looked at the map and it's like 20 minutes away.

The convention center is downtown. Just re-opened after new construction. It's a pretty cool project that is underground with a park over the top of it. Unfortunately it's only 375,000 sq ft of exhibit space. The IX has 1,000,000 sq ft, and is a lot closer to the airport..

Also like to note that traffic and parking downtown would be a nightmare if they used the convention center..

Sorry I was referring to the I-X center where the show is at. I thought it was downtown but it's like 20 minutes from like the ball park and stuff.

If you don't want to rent a car and want to do things in the Cleveland area then you are better off staying downtown. Don't eat at the hotel food, etc. there are plenty of inexpensive places to eat bfast and lunch on the streets.

Plus there are underground places to eat with resaonable prices as well.

Also, you can walk to the Rock Hall from a downtown hotel where it's a specail trip from the I-X Center.

In retrospect, I wish I had stayed at a decent downtown hotel during the show rather than any of the ones we have stayed at.
