(In other words, can I get in or out when I want to, which may be at odd hours?) >> As far as I know, the garage is open 24 hrs a day, and you can come and go as you want. (I don't know what kind of odd hours you want to get up, but they roll up sidewalks here in DC at midnight, and they don't the roll them out until 6 in the morning) I would suggest you lock your car. I am sure the hotel staff is honest, and it looks pretty save around here, but it's these out of guests the hotel is expecting the next week that you have to be careful of. You know, the ones wearing denim jeans and cowboy boots, driving pick up trucks and beat up old cars, that have funny license plates, like piano2nr, and A4404evr. :). As far as you're social standing, and eating habits, I won't touch that with an 11 foot pole. You take your chances when you come to one of these conventions. Willem
