I called Hyatt's 1-800 (which incidentally is on the downloadable form in
the upper left quadrant), and I was able to reserve a room in the "business
plan"
section for $67 a night, for the 26th -> 1st, at 730EDT (today).
Pros and Cons with Business Plan Rooms:
18th and 19th floors - con
you won't be on "APO" floors, so there will be ZERO noise tolerance - con
free continental breakfast - pro
free coffee in the room - pro
workstation in the room - pro (I suspect workstation is just a data port)
usa today delivered every morning - pro
free photo copies - pro
hope that helps
