Thanks! In looking at the Express Deals if I read it correctly, the 5% discount only applies if your travel dates are between May 1, 2013 through June 23, 2013 and you book by June 3, 2013. I appreciate all of your advice. We wouldn't mind a 3½* if it was in the Inner Harbor so we can use the Circulator Bus and walk from the bus stop to the hotel. In the past I've only used 4* to get an Inner Harbor hotel that we could walk to.
