I thought I'd luck out to come in Monday, but by the time I could reserve a room, the closest hotel was the Riverfront, 2.6 miles away from the conference.  I suppose it could be worse.  Some of the hotels are over ten miles away.  I know there will be some shuttles running back and forth. A quick Google Map search showed no restaurants anywhere close.

Trying to check out the Amway but its site is down for "scheduled maintenance".

As an aside, only in the Midwest would such a beautiful old hotel be owned by a damned pyramid scheme...

LOL, you mean "multilevel marketing."

There is a pub in GR named Pyramid Scheme. Where did they come up with a name like that? Usually have Shorts beers on tap.
