Shane/Ed My point, perhaps not made very well was that in negotiating the rate with the Sheraton (which was a perfect location) could SHARE have gotten a better deal?
I happened to have a friend stay at the hotel for three of the days I was there and he managed to book a suite, as opposed to my room, for around 35 dollars per night less than I paid?

In addition to Eds points I find it handy to stay "in" the conference from a safety/security point of view. Not knowing any American city, I don't know where is "less than acceptable" to traverse after hours. And there were some questionable districts quite close to the conference in SFO. So I chose to stay "in-house", and wear the cost. As Jim alluded, it ain't cheap, but you make you choices ...
