When it was a Sheraton, you could get the hotel for $79 p/n via Hotwire. I have no idea whether that remains true.
I stayed on rack rate and hotwire rates. Acceptable under the Hotwire rate. As a rack rack, heck no.
As far as other HH in the area, the Hilton is about 1-2 miles away. Lots and lots of Cruisers there, but a nicer place overall. Same with the Hampton Inn Suites - just has a terrible gym, but can walk to the adjacent shopping center.
