Dealers Row

[longhairedsffan.livejournal.com]

I was reading the post below about Dealers Row.  

Could someone explain to me why a dealer would
want to use  Dealers Row instead of the Dealers Room?

My main objection to dealers row is the accessibility issue.
My wife uses a scooter to get around which makes dealers
row impossible for her.   So she never got
to use it at the Hyatt or at the Westin.

I have to wonder how much business these dealers loose
by going with deelers row instead of the dealers room.

Was it my imagination, or was the corridor at the Westin narrower than the one at the Hyatt? It seemed to me that anytime a knot of three people decided to stop and have a conversation traffic flow all but ground to a halt...

Is there a reason this was on the 16th floor, BTW? Was that the only floor that could be booked for DR and consuite? It was a pain to get to (though I'll admit that the elevators were in top form!). It reminded me of having the art show at the top of the Hyatt, and not in a good way...

I wondered that too .. why not put Dealers' Row on the 4th floor, right above the program areas? Then people could use stairways to reach it (if the hotel agrees to unlock them).

It's not your imagination. The corridors in the Westin are in fact six inches narrower than the ones in the Hyatt.

There is a suite on 15 that is identical to the one we used for Con Suite except it lacks one of the connecting bedrooms. No suite lower in the hotel than that is even half as large.

and no advantage to doing 15 instead of 16. In fact, I'm guessing noise issues would make it a negative. ('cause there would be sleeping rooms both above and below)
