Hotels for Houston

We booked our Hotel last night on Priceline and got the Sheraton Gallaria which is about 5 miles from the venue for $50. I think its the same hotel we booked for the Bayou city RYC and paid $109 for, the Sheraton site lists the rooms starting at $129. So if any of you still need a room definitly check price line.
