Well, nevermind. There's no location info in the URL. Apparently, they're
storing the address queried in session variables. If I cut the sessionID
out of the URL, I get an error. There's no "link to this map" link on the
page. At least Yahoo provides a "permalink" URL for their map.

Also, they locate the hotel on the north side of 225.

So, it looks as if MapQuest is the winner by default. Unless anyone knows
of something else.
