Last winter Usenix at Dallas, I stayed at the Hampton Inn which is just
a few blocks from the Kempinski.  My old expense report says it was $46
a day less extortionary travelers taxes.  I recall that it was clean,
offered no-somkers rooms and a pleasant stay.  You'll need a rental car
(or know somebody who has one) to get back and forth though.  Walking
the mile or so between hotels is not a pleasant prospect for that time
of year.

Hampton Inn

Maybe Usenix could negotiate a conference rate?
