Hotel Recommendation for Laggards Going to National

I second Alan's suggestion of Schiller Park. I stayed at the Four Points Sheraton in 2011 and was very content. I found it on Priceline. I used the "Name your price" tool and booked on June 30th of that year for $55/night. It will obviously be higher these days, but the hotel was fine.

Keep in mind there were absolutely no dining options for a breakfast place anywhere remotely close to this hotel. I took quite the drive around the area, too. It was Snoresville from a business perspective. Mostly residential from my 12 year old recollection. I just remember driving around and thinking, "Where do these people eat?!".

Update: The NSCC conference housing office is pretty slammed but they do call back if you leave a message. I had success in getting a room at one of 2 available hotels (located 2.8-3 miles from the convention center) through them for the conference block rate of $169/night (the rooms still show up as "available" for those hotels on the conference website). There were a couple rooms left as of 2 PM eastern time, so those still looking might have some luck there, but I'd act fast. I believe these hotels 2.8-3 miles away are now the closest hotels to the convention center that still have rooms in an NSCC block at a reduced rate. Expect to pay over $300/night (not including parking) if you manage to find (any) rooms within about half a mile of the convention center.
