Way, way back in 1977 I spent six weeks at a course at Boeing and we were put up in the Roosevelt Hotel, not very posh but very central, reasonably comfortable and a great breakfast!
Just wondering if it still exists? Has it been refurbished? What would be a reasonable alternative, centrally etc.?
Any advice from people who are up to date much appreciated. Thanks.
