I had even worse issues last year.
I couldn't find anything (apart from places with /really/ scary reviews)
less than $400 or $500 per night. I'd never had such an issue with any
previous Java One, having always managed to stay in the parc 55, francis
drake, or other nice places. Even decent corporate travel policies have
their limits.
I ended up in downtown Oakland. It worked pretty well thanks to the
train, but it seemed rather silly given that Oracle could have saved
everyone the trouble by not having Java One and Open World at the same time.

To defend Dick a bit: I was the one who booked our rooms. I checked
the links through the conference and also via Orbitz, and saw prices
in the many hundreds per day. Some were $1000+, but I guess there are
always a few of those.
For us, $300+ per night per person was a bit out of our budget--we
don't have a big revenue stream :). So our $130 per night via Orbitz
seemed like a good deal at the time. Maybe I failed in getting to the
conference pricing: I'll try harder to use that next year.
