Thanks for the suggestions.
Right now we are trying to figure out where to stay. It's tough weighing all the factors of budget vs. location vs. cool/unique factor.
We are looking at the Lenox Hotel, Holiday Inn Government Center, Intercontinental, and various Bed and Breakfasts. I want to be in the heart of things, but I'd really prefer to spend less than $300/night.
Decisions, decisions!!
