I just looked, and got the same prices. That's insane. I paid $59.95 for the Sheraton National a year or so ago on my Platinum bedroom run. Now $259.95. That place is a decent 2* hotel.
Give exact dates, so I can look some more.
I may start renting some of the extra bedrooms in my house. Great water view, 10 miles from capitol, full breakfast, only $22,000 a nite. If that sheraton is 259, 22000 is not outragous for a bedroom in my house.
Check the Manderin Orental web site for a deal. Nice hotel in a nowhere loction.
