There are very few that I have been to that have a plaza like the one at the Salt Palace. I think usable plazas that are comfortable to be in are one of the unsung features that make places great. SLC has very few plazas where people actually sit down and take a load off.
There are far too many places across the street from the Salt Palace where a convention hotel would do just fine. 200 S is going to become a great street in the not to distant future. A convention hotel will be a great part of that street.

There is another plaza on the north corner by Symphony Hall where convention goers can sit and enjoy the sun. There is also Temple Square, including the Main Street Plaza.
Having the Convention Center Hotel on the same block will actually be more convenient for those visiting for conventions.
