Also, if the hotels are in operation, probably need the rooms for emergency workers, insurance people, and homeless residents. If you don't have to go then, perhaps you can rescheduled your plans for later - its a great city - even if it is Atlantis right now.

I saw on the list Lakeside Hotel - assume this is the doubletree - any one see any pix of it - bottom part of building is offices and the firm where i use to work is there - just wondering how it held up.
