Geez, I had it on my calendar and called yesterday to get a room at the
CP...
But considering the HUGE price difference, I'm going to call and cancel and
move to the Doubletree... Thanks for the tip...
Maybe Tim should move Contest U there and lots of the other hospitality
rooms will no doubt follow...

Hi Pete:
I just booked at the Doubletree. $89.00/night, unrestricted. I have in the
past paid a premium to stay at the Crowne Plaza, but not next year!

Mark, KD4D
