Here's another clump, near the so-called "bad" Convention Center neighborhood:

We point visitors to all of these and the hotels are fine.

convention center is a nice neighborhood.. its also really convenient on the metro.. its a straight shot down the green line to l'enfant plaza and the conference location ( <10m ), and its a quick hop to chinatown eats/foods..
