I went to the armory there. Used to be the #1 site for weapons in the US, IIRC. Was pretty cool. Also stayed at the Sheraton, and they told me I was the guest of the day. They gave me free parking, a movie, snacks, drinks. Ask if you can get that.

Was a few years ago. As I said, I parked on site, so it didn't matter at all. There were a few mega hotels in the immediate vicinity, so general area can't be too bad.

It's about a 2 hour walk, is there anywhere to stay there for shabbos that is walking distance to the minyan?
