Who knew Seattle was so expensive?

I just finished making my travel arrangements for EDUCAUSE in October. (I think I managed to snag a dirt-cheap flight and I know I got an amazingly inexpensive hotel room.)

Yesterday, while looking for a hotel room, I was using the conference travel tools. There were only two official conference hotels with rooms left, and imagine my surprise when I was presented with this rate for one of them:

Seems a bit steep, no?

    Read the fine print. There are some amazing amenities at the Six Avenue Inn ;-) Have fun in Seattle, go catch some thrown fish or visit the Fremont Troll.

    Alan — yeah, but at these prices you know the wireless has got to stink.

    Yeah, the Washington Athletic Club doesn’t even HAVE amenities.

    I’m missing Seattle … have fun!

    Sounds pretty cheap compared to our student laptops last year at William and Mary. For the first week you could go to the website and buy a ThinkPad with 2 gigs of ram and a 14.1″ inch screen for the amazingly discounted price of only $999,999. Didn’t get too many takers….
