Hey yall, hope the weekend is going well.

As stated in the title, plan is to just drive up early one morning, hit up the fair for a day, get out into the city for something or other in the evening, night's stay at a primo hotel, and back home sometime the next day. Definitely willing to make use of hotel amenities on the second day before the drive back so extras are perks.

I like when visiting to stay in places that are heart-of-the-action types if it's a one-night trip and a room with a cityscape view is always a plus.

Any recommendations for the right spot would be greatly appreciated! Open to recs for where to get dinner that night too (steakhouses, sushi/japanese, or anything truly unique are great) if you have them. Good chance I'll be stuffed on fair food but I'll be keeping my options open haha.

Thanks much!
