hotel for fudcon tempe 2011

[seth vidal]

I've been hearing some issues with the price of the hotel in tempe. I
asked eunice (my S.O.) who did the hotel research for boston a few years
back and she found that the courtyard marriott downtown tempe is:

and if you look you can see it is 2 blocks from the mission palm place.

I've confirmed they have 35 rooms available for jan 28th -> feb 1st.

The rooms are $112/night after taxes and all that silliness w/o ANY
negotiation.


Is it worth considering?

it's 1/4 mile (~1/2Km) from where that hotel is to where the more
expensive one is.

And it's significantly cheaper.

thoughts?
