Regarding hotels, here is the information we received from Fisher Controls;

The Tremont is considerably more expensive than the others but still only on the order of $100 per night.
There doesn't seem to be much of an Emerson rate but it can't hurt to ask. Still the other 4 are only $70-80 per night.
