I'm not sure why that's on Expedia. The St Regis was converted to condo apartments about two years ago as I recall, and is no longer a hotel.
The closing of at least part of the Ponch is causing a cascading effect on all the other hotels. There were rooms at the Hilton Garden just two days ago and I didn't grab them fast enough. The Holiday Inn (ex Best Western, I had several good stays there) and Shorecrest are all full, as noted. I actually looked at reviews of the Milner and Leland (ex-Ramada) but even if I was desperate I wouldn't stay there. The Omni down on the waterfront has rooms but is very pricey. So I'm at the Comfort Inn again this year, which is at least close enough even if it isn't where the cool kids stay :) fh ----------------- >----- Original Message ----- >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <313@hyperreal.org> >Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 12:34 AM >Subject: [SPAM-LOW] Re: Re: (313) odd that I should have to ask this... > > >>> The Athenaeum is charging $266 a night. >> >> Pricey but I've heard good things about the Athenaeum. > >Yeah, the Atheneum is nicer than the Ponch or Ren Cen IMO.
