Sentences

Hi

Could you tell me if everything's OK with the sentences below:

1. Are you/Will you go(ing) along with me? Is "with me" necessary?

2. I hope nothing will come amiss (meaning that everything will be fine).

3. I came away with really happy memories of the place.

4. The hotel will set off the boring conference and an ugly town.

Thanks

The hotel is so impressive that it will make people forget how boring the conference is and how ugly the town is.

NewguestAt least the hotel is really great to set off this boring conference and an ugly town.
Hmm. The sentence strikes me as a bit strange. Maybe someone else can shed some light on it.
