Bridal Suite/Hotel block opinions

I am getting married at the Board of Trade next October and have pretty much narrowed down my hotel block locations to:

The Country Inn & Suites
The International House
Omni Royal Crescent

Has anyone used any of these as their "Base Hotel" for their bridal party? Where the suites big enough to get ready at the day of? Did you stay at that same hotel for your wedding night with the new hubby?

Thanks!!

    I used both the CIS and Omni Royal Crescent for blocks.  Me and my bridal party were at the Omni Royal Crescent.  The bridal suite is an ok size, but based on the recommendation of Steffanie we booked the board room for everyone to get ready.  We had the room next to the bridal suite for the days before and after which is slightly larger, and looking back I probably didn't need the bridal suite itself for Friday and Saturday.  The conference room was a great option because it was reasonably priced and I didn't have to move or clean up any of my personal stuff. 

    I think the option is they will wave the fee if you use their food service, or it's a small fee if you bring in outside food.  It ended up being much cheaper and easier to pay the fee and bring in outside food.

    KB used the Omni...we loved it....we had a suite and it was great for her and her bridal party.  the morning of we had our make up person there ( Just Face it) and there were about 15 people in there at any given time...didnt feel crowded while getting hair and make up done...plus the Omni was very central to a lot of what we had going on before the ceremony...pub crawl Thurs and Quarter meet and greet

    Thanks for the tip about the conference room at the omni, will have to look into that! Did you mirrors up or anything? Was there a TV in there or was it litterally just a conference room with a table?
