My friends are at the Crowne Silversmith on Wabash -which I booked a reservation w/government rate of $130/night. I can cancel anytime, and would if I could figure out how to get the W or something close to it in rate and stars. The property I posted about is rated a 3 star, and I was trying to figure out the best place for the money. We don't necessarily have to stay close to the friends, but it would be nice.. I just want a great hotel for a great price and am relying on you good people with experience to help me out. So, if anyone looks at my dates and sees a great deal, please post and I will be forever grateful. Also, if someone could point me in the right direction of how you ID the hotels that come up I would be grateful. You guys are great. Thanks, Sybil
