They have never had a clean hotel lottery, and it wasn't helped last year by the last minute discussion of the 'double lottery'. Hopefully this year they will have worked out those kinks.. but my hopes aren't very high on that, given my past experience.
Frankly, if it's random anyway, I wish they would just let us fill out our request at our leisure and submit it during a several day window for submission. Then, they would randomize all the submissions and send us our results.The live randomization of the badge sale makes sense because you buy the badge on the spot. But a live randomization while you are waiting on the computer when all you are doing is submitting your choices makes no sense. It would only make sense if you are making your reservation on the spot.
Last year was the first time I ever participated in the "waitlist" process. One of the big issues was that the time we got a chance to switch to a waitlist option, the date for cancelling an original reservation had already passed.My group lucked out, we found a better hotel on the waitlist, and we eventually were able to cancel the previous reservation AND get a refund. However, that process was a nightmare, and they made it seem like the refund might not occur.This gap between the "no more refunds" date and the "waitlist" date - is that something that happens every year? Or was last year just a disorganized mess?
I've wondered about this also. There is really no need to have a live sale if everything is random.Just let us fill out a form, or send in an email, process the requests in a random order and send us the results.There's absolutely no back and forth for this sale, so why even try to make it live?Maybe some day.
I'm thinking of bringing my pet to SDCC this year. While I'm gone most of the day my mom goes back to the hotel room frequently so he wouldn't be alone all day and would be able to be taken out for bathroom breaks. I looked up the pet friendly hotels on the SDCC block but has anyone had any personal experience with bringing a pet to SDCC?
Thanks to you both. What's the name of the doggy day care? I live in LA as well and would like other doggy day care options other than Petsmart.I really like the Marriott Gaslamp last year, but if they're not pet friendly than I have always wanted to try Hotel Indigo. I'll also look into Solamar, but that might be pricey?
I've just seen that the Residence Inn Gaslamp Quarter has rooms from 7/18 to 7/24 for $259/nightYou are not allowed to view links.
