```text
Find hotels for my trip and put the best options in my Google Sheet: [SHEET LINK]. Trip details: [DESTINATION AREA, e.g. near the convention center], [TRAVEL DATES, e.g. March 3 to 6], budget up to [NIGHTLY BUDGET, e.g. $250 a night]. Must-haves: [MUST HAVES, e.g. free wifi, gym, quiet rooms].

Search [BOOKING SITE, e.g. Booking.com] with those filters, 4 stars and up. Check recent guest reviews there and on one other review site, and skip places with repeated complaints about noise, cleanliness or safety. Pick the 10 best and add one row each with: hotel name, price per night, rating, distance to [KEY LOCATION, e.g. the venue], key amenities, one line on what reviewers say, and the booking link. Sort by overall value, not just price.

Don't book, reserve or enter any payment or personal details. Stop when the sheet is filled and tell me your top 3 picks and why.
