Despite baglady's nay, I went ahead and booked it. If, for no other reason, convenience.

It is not that bad
I have stayed there when the W was not available or way too expensive.

That is a great rate. I remember seeing rates of $2:eek::eek:+ last time I was in SF:D

I usually don't poke my nose in the Box. (Feel like I am invading a private party). But, there are rumors of a new version coming in June. Not sure what it will be though. I'm happy with the 3G that I have. I no longer have to carry my cell phone, BlackBerry, and iPod on my commute each day.

iPhone nano is all but confirmed for a June/July release. All are welcome in the box partay

jrzyshawn, I should have clarified regarding the 109 rate* at the Westin.

*Special Conditions exist at this hotel:
Between Feb. 7 and April 9 the Westin San Francisco will be undergoing several projects to enhance our guest experience. Beginning in February we will undergo an asbestos abatement. During this time, all guests will be provided with a respirator and HEPA mask at check-in. Additionally, guests may hear jack-hammers between the hours of 4am and 9am.
Internet services will only be accessible to process payment for wi-fi, but will provide no services.
Heavenly beds and pillows have been replaced with yoga mats and a stuffed armadillo.
In a co-marketing agreement with the LAS Hilton; all restaurants, public spaces, and elevators, will feature background music from Barry Manilow.
The first week of March, please be advised that the hotel will be hosting several groups: FOO Fighters (Family of the Octomom who are ready to fight anyone who doesn't agree with them), MONAs (Morbidly Obese Nudist Activist members), and rejects from the Westminster Dog Show and Chinese food purveyor auction (the Westin-mincer dog show).

Still sounds like a good deal. :D

EDI and CPH sound very similar as far as weather, cost and sites to see. I'm very torn (although, the FT in me wants to go with CPH for the extra miles :rolleyes:).

Any experience with the Sheraton in EDI?

The Sheraton is okay. Nothing spectacular, but not bad. They have an excellent pool/hot-tub/spa area, though, with free access for Plats. I have generally been upgraded there to club floor suites with a view of the Castle. The lounge is small, but nice.

Just remember that it is a very British hotel. Stodgy, dark wood interior, smells a bit musty, paisley carpeting, etc.

CO Insider is taking care of the CO part of the Star DO at EWR. There will be a tour of the facilities and a pre-flight party.

He will also participate in the entire DO!

I thought I saw CM tearing through the Colgan Thread with it, wearing a ski-mask.
