Perhaps you stayed on particularly desirable dates. When I stayed this fall, the rates (even AAA) were in the low $200s. I just checked for a random night in January and it's $156- but newer build properties downtown are less (Aloft, FI, 4P, CY, RI). Although they are more limited service brands, in practice, they aren't any more limited service. Indeed the breakfast at the RI is better than the lounge breakfast at the Sheraton.
