haha fair point. Fun fact: I've never owned a car
I’ve done both and parking under convention center is nice, you can take all your stuff back to your car and relax for a bit. You save money by having a hotel that’s not downtown and cheap con parking. If you have a hotel downtown it’s nice you can relax just walk back and forth. Sometimes you may get a little too comfortable at your room and take a nap that leads to missing out on some things. Raise your hand if you’ve done that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Yea we all have a reason to be close to the con..<----- New Dad.... So everyone good luck! Does everyone here have a backup plan or everyone on this site extremely lucky with hotels and parking?
Also, apparently the exhibitors have already had their hotel sale. I saw a couple tweets from some of them getting their downtown hotels set for SDCC already.
For some reason I had no idea that exhibitors had a separate sale until just now. Anyone know what that’s like? Are all the same hotels available?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yep, same hotels with a limited block per hotel for them.
My backup will be Shelter Island (which gets NO love).I stayed there my first year because I didn't know anything about the hotel sale. I stayed at Humphreys Half Moon Inn. It was a very nice hotel, and it's on the shuttle route. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a room if I absolutely don't get anything downtown. And that's even waiting for cancellations up until the end of May. I know this because my first year, as I was checking in, a couple MADE A RESERVATION AT THE DESK!!! They paid $100/night more than me (I couldn't help but over hear this).So...that's my backup plan .
Yeah, exhibitor sale started Dec. 5 IIRC.
If things go like last year, there will be plenty of chances to grab a downtown hotel or adjacent to the convention center. I have some numbers and dates from last year:May 3rd - HBF MGH go up, 5 plus roomsMay 10th - 11th MGH goes up, 5 plus roomsJune 6th HBF goes up, to 4 roomsJune 7th HR, Andaz, Embassy, courtyard 5 plus roomsJune 25th HR, GRANT, INDIGO, OMNI up 4 roomsSo yeah I had gotten the U.S. Grant on the second wave but then cancelled and grabbed MGH on May 3rd.Hope this helps:D
I just checked...I got the Hilton Bayfront on July 3! Nothing like waiting until the last minute!
