Already have a backup in place. Most likely won't go through the hotel lottery next year, after my maiden experience this year was...less than satisfactory.Edit: Red Roof Inn Downtown and Motel 6 downtown currently have rooms available for the Wednesday to Sunday of next year.Just in case.Also the MGH can be booked right now, just obviously not at the con rate.
I booked my backup the day before the con and they had only one room left. Other people more planning then me.
Out of curiosity, I looked up the Pendry and it already shows "unavailable". That hotel was nothing but TV networks, it seems.
I went by the Pendry and asked at the concierge during the con. He said that they had been 'selective' about whom they let stay there during the con. It sounded to me like they got some sweet studio deals and were never part of the CCI room block at all. Maybe he appeased CCI by letting some of the 'invited guests' stay there?John Rogers (president of CCI) was staying at the MMM. We ran into him there realllly early in the morning.
Of note, it looks like Hotel Z (my usual back-up since they opened) are now requiring a minimum stay (as far as I can tell it's it's 5 nights min.) to stay through all of the convention nights. Additionally, it's $999/night. It was the same when I checked Thursday night. That's for only one bed per room ^^;
Thanks for the report-that was also my backup. At least now I know if I had remembered, it would have been too much for a backup. What a shame that they gave in to the gouging. When we stayed there, it was only $245 per night. It was more the next year (we didn't stay, but they were my backup). I understand a price increase, but sheesh!
