I am hugely tempted by the CSR, but again am having trouble justifying the $95 annual fee considering that my yearly spend isn't that huge (I'd estimate it at about $20k). Even with the bonus categories I'd have to spend at leas $3k on dining and travel to "break even" and I have trouble justifying that to myself.

I think you are confusing the CSR with the CSP.

Agree on the Citi Prestige. 25% off 4-night stay. 20% off 5-night. Can often stack this with "stay 2, get 3rd free" offers.
