I know it is overpriced, but our company got our rooms there, I guess for convenience. Is anyone else staying there? I don't get in until Thursday afternoon, but would be up for a beer or two in the bar or possibly dinner on Thursday...

i and 7 other guys going to the convention are staying there. i arrive about 1 PM, the others about 6-7 PM. going to the convention as soon as i arrive but will be back in the hotel by 5:30 or so. if you want to meet for a drank, let me know. Jerry Dollar

Tim, I've stayed there the last couple of years and it was convenient. I moved over to the Magnolia this year, 1/3 less in price, free bar in the evening and free breakfast. We'll see how it turns out. Every dollar saved is another dollar toward Africa!

I tried to book the Hyatt, but it was already booked by the time I called.

It's not cheap, but it is really easy.
