LATE BULLETIN: We expected the rate to go up to about $160 on Saturday, Oct 24, and it may have done so for phoned reservations, but the link below for $105 appears to still work; there is a good chance it will not be taken down until Monday. So if you haven't made your reservation yet, you should do so before Monday.
