Looking for a Nice Downtown Hotel

We will be in Wichita soon and need a nice place to stay. Our son is performing with Music Theater Wichita at the Century II Convention Center, so need somewhere relatively close. It does not need to be overly fancy, but clean and comfortable. Anything we ';must'; see while there? Thanks so much!

Looking for a Nice Downtown Hotel

OhioDreamer,---Hi, There are two hotels within a very short walk of Century II . From the front door of either hotel to the door of the convention center should only be about five minutes.

The Broadview which is an older hotel but has been updated recently. It is listed as a three star. www.broadviewradisson.com. The other is a Hyatt www.hyatt.wichita.com. Needless to say it is a much nicer hotel but will also cost $ 50-60 a night more. There is one more hotel downtown but it is a few blocks away and is new and extremely nice.

www.hotelatoldtown.com. There is also a newly remodeled Holiday Inn only a few blocks away. So you have quite a few choices.

As for things to see . There is Wichita Botanica and Cowtown which are only about a mile from downtown. Botanica is a nice shady spot

www.botanica.org with many flowers and butterflies,cowtown is original buildings from when Wichita was a cattle town and the Texas trail herds were driven here to the rail head.

We also have a excellent zoo for a town of this size. If you go this time of the year go early as it is usually very hot here in July.

My wife and daughter are big fans of Music Theatre. They have season tickets and just saw ';The Full Monty'; yesterday. Is your son

in the production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers?

If you have any more questions you can e-mail me direct at patrickh@donegal.net

You have an excellent zoo for a city of any size.

In addition to the places that Pat mentions, the entire Old Town entertainment area is good. The museum of World Treasures is a hoot!
