Can anyone offer an explanation as to why the material for the
Boston USENIX completely ignored the question of other hotels
at reasonable prices? I found the hotel list for the Santa Monica
meeting quite useful for someone travelling on government per diem
($75 MAX for room & board combined, and that's in high cost areas).

The room rates at the Copley Plaza or the Sheraton make them totally
useless with such a funding limit. I had to spend a couple hours
at activity and public libraries, looking up hotels and checking a
map, until I found some reasonable ones. (I have reservations at the
Hotel Essex at $35 -- I hope it isn't TOO bad!)

A simple list of nearby hotls and rates and a more meaningful map
than the the one given, which just pushes the expensive hotels,
would have been appreciated. If it was done for Santa Monica, it could
have been done for this.

Anybody in authority reading this, please make such a hotel price list
MANDATORY for all future USENIX meeting arrangers!
