Yeah, I'm rooming with our legal guy, Ernie, and the closest he was able to reserve was the Doubletree Guest Suites 10 blocks away! It's pricey, but then again, this is Manhatten.

Personally, I'm staying at the same place I did last year. The overly swanky, Holland Tunnel Motor Lodge. In all honesty, it only cost us $80 a night (after AAA discount), it was clean, quiet, had hot water and a bed. A group of us saved on parking in NYC by carpooling from Jersey for 15 minutes. To be honest, it was well worth it.

Hey Jimmy, I agree whole-heartedly. It was quite possibly the best convention stay that I've had.

Is the triple tree solid? I like their hotels elsewhere. best deal i could find was 6 blox away for 150 at a best western.

Ended up going with Triple Tree. They have the 2 room suites which works out since my wife & I are traveling with another couple. Also Im a guest for the Heroes Initiative bash thursday night at Dave & Busters. Stop by for a drink & some fine conversation in a fun & relaxed atmosphere before the show. They have info at their site on what is required to get in. I think its just a cover which is donated to H.I.
