I would second that, I very much appreciated Prague as a venue.

My main complaint in fact was that due to my travel and meeting schedule I was unable to see anything much of Prague itself.

The hotels are indeed overpriced by local standards, particularly for the restauants etc. but they are still somewhat cheaper than many North American Venues ans considerably cheaper than New York, London etc.

I much prefer Prague at any time of the year to Minneapolis in winter.
