Venue: Cincinnati, Ohio
Date: November 20-23
Weather: high of 60 and low of 30
Reason: Work
Experience:
This is the most confusing trade show I ever been to. Our Hotel was called Cincinnati something while the convention center it is connected to is called Kentucky Convention Center. So weird. I keep asking the people there and I guess they're confuse too or maybe they're just the same as us (tourist).
Anyway, it was fun. I've been at this state before. This time the convention was much closer to down town than the last time. There were nice restaurants near there too.
HOTEL: ~ Cincinnati Marriott RiverCenter Hotel~
I love the hotel. This is the first time I've seen a hotel that the main lobby is at the fourth floor. Ground floor was the shuttle dropped off and valet thingy which is also called the C floor. The B floor I believe is the parking. The A floor is the fitness center and the P floor is the Park Hotel Lobby. That's where the business center and the front desk are located at. From there you take another different elevator to go to your hotel room. =)
They have this kind of open terrace kind of look inside. You can actually look down from you floor and see what's going on at the lobby. They even have this nice elevator there too. It's a glass elevator that you can actually look while the elevator is going up or down.
RESTAURANTS:
First night we ate at FRIDAYS. It was alright, but our server was crappy. They got my sister's order all wrong. They took forever to give us our food and they didn't even refill our water and sodas. They do have a good Mudslide drink. =)
Second night we ate at APPLEBEES. The waiter was very attentive to us. The artichoke dip was so good. I highly recommend that. I was satisfied with my food that's why I gave him a good tip. =) Oh, they have the best Mudslide drink I ever tasted.
Third night we ate at the Bamboo Asian Pacific Restaurant at Newport. The fried rice was good, the steak we ordered was delicious, the fish we got was bad and the soup we ordered was not acceptable. Don't go there at all!
They took forever to give us the menus and to serve us too. It was cold too outside. The price was outrageous. I'm not going there again.
SHUTTLE:
To those people who are going there make sure that you know that the hotels there doesn't have a shuttle of their own specially the one in the rivercenter. We paid 15.00 per person. So expensive. oh well...
NOTE TO MYSELF:
Bring more cash next time and don't go there for work. Only for fun okay?
P.S.
I enjoyed my time inside the convention center. I saw the people I like there. It's nice to see familiar faces again.
Toodles!
