Well, I just ran the numbers for this summer again using June 14th as a target date and this jives with my claim last year. $385- GrandFL $340- Poly $325- YC, BC, & BW $285- OKW $279- Ritz-Carton $225- WL $219- J. W. Marriott So with the rates available now, The Ritz is running $106/night less than the Grand, and the J. W. is running $121/night less than the Poly. But considering he quality of the facility and the service given at the J. W., I wouldn't have any problem with directly comparing it to the Grand at a nightly savings of $166. Heck, the Ritz Carlton is less than Old Key West. I know its slummin' it, but to save $100/night I can suffer through it, so if anyone is interested here is a link to the Grand Lake Resort. <a href="http://www.grandelakes.com/" target="_blank">http://www.grandelakes.com/</a>
