Well, next year I'm gonna try to get a hotel room for my group for the first time. We normally commute since we live close by but the late nights/early mornings were painful this year. The 2 hours we would save by not commuting sound wonderful.
We live close enough to commute, but it would not be fun, especially with the traffic near the convention center. We've stayed closer and closer to the convention center as the years have gone by. Used to try to save money by staying at Hotel Circle. No more. With Hall H, I prefer HBF, MMM, or MGH.
Yeah I live in LA, and with my comic con schedule I feel like commuting all 5 days would be hellish. You have traffic in the morning to deal with and exhaustion at night to deal with. Totally worth it to get a hotel. Some people call SDCC Nerd Prom, but I call it a Nerd Sleep Away Camp.
@SD_Comic_Con If anyone is already looking at backup hotels for SDCC 2023, Residence Inn Gaslamp has a few affordable room available (Tuesday to Sunday) with free cancellation and no prepayment required.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Residence Inn Gaslamp is also available on booking.com (and marriott for direct through July 22) for 2023 SDCC dates. Booking is no-prepayment needed and free cancellation while Marriott is I believe deposit/prepay but refundable and cancellable. They're good rates too, will be roughly what I paid for HBF for the same number of nights this year! I just booked Residence Inn Gaslamp through booking. I would have done so through Marriott, but I really don't want to do a deposit at the moment. Also, when I pulled it up on my phone on Marriott earlier, it was letting me choose July 23 for check-out (Sunday,) but now it it's limiting me to Saturday. Might check back tomorrow to see if that changes.Can't take credit for the tip, Carlo on the FOCC discord posted it and this link to the tweet about it, and pinged the hotels role, just putting it over here for the non-discord people:You are not allowed to view links.

Residence Inn only has single bed rooms, or else I'd jump on this for backup. I know they have rooms with a soft bed, but judging from the pictures, it'd be very cramped. But having a kitchen would be nice to have.
Well - people already seem to be discussing it, so let's start the 2023 thread (a great way to combat post-con depression is to discuss next year!!!
