Nicest: The Ballantyne. Not feasible: The Ballantyne. I would recommend Westin or the Aloft (keyless access).

Ballentyne (sp?) if you are ok with being a bit outside the city. More likely than not you should go Westin. Le Meredian is OK but had some shit rooms there

What about the Sheraton uptown?

Connected to the Meredian. Pretty standard Sheraton.

Westin if you need to be downtown. Ballantyne all the way otherwise

I found a roach in my room at the Le Meridien, but otherwise their suites were awesome. Westin is a good and reliable choice. Aloft stinks.

I stayed at the Sheraton uptown and had the worst experience. My room was dirty (there were coozies on the floor and just trash and crumbs everywhere). Stay at the Westin :)

Westin if your are downtown. Meridien can be fishy.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Advice needed! I was laid off in Jan and since then I’ve been building my own practice (which I started last year and was doing on the side). Since Covid happened, work has been a lot slower so I started applying for jobs. I got two job offers in these past couple weeks, but the problem is that neither is in the area I want to practice, though the experience from one of them would be probably useful in the future. Ultimately I want to have my own practice, but my dilemma is that as a 3rd (cont.)
