<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I think most of the government rate hotels are going to be either next to the conference center or further south toward the city center. I've got a govt rate room in the Hilton

FYI, the group rate of 179$ is way above the DOE max lodging costs (137$). I'd expect most DOE folks to not be able to use this.<br>
