Wow, I just checked and the rooms are already gone, at $600 per night.

ETA  I'm wrong. The doubles are gone. Only Kings left.

I wish I could say it surprises me.


Also I hope it's OK I posted it apart from the major Hotel post. I didn't want it to get lost!

I appreciate you posting, Barb. Thanks! I've been checking the Bayfront Facebook page for days, but had to go out and pick up my kids at school and run an errand. It was great to see the info right away (in your post) when I got back.

Sheesh! I go out for 90 minutes and the Hilton releases rooms and WonderCon releases its schedule. Amazing what I miss while actually living life... ;)

It is funny how quickly things happen when you aren't locked onto your PC! LOL

Yep, that's Murphy's Law for you. That's why I'm glad to have this sit to keep me up to date!

It was funny watching people complain about the price on their FB page.

I am so with you on this! What did they expect, really? The Marriott Marquis was charging $550 and then quickly upped to to $600 and $650. The Hyatt was going for $700 per night. The Hilton Bayfront is really in the same ballpark. What's really a 'spit in the eye' though is that the rooms they're selling are the Port/Coronado view', i.e. the industrial factory view in the back of the hotel. So the people paying through the nose for these rooms aren't even going to get a Hall H view.

However it does confirm my suspicions that they were purposely holding back the rooms to price gouge. The attitude of the person responding on FB shows that. If they had just offered these rooms at the same time (and price) that the Marriott Marquis did, it wouldn't be such a big deal, but people who were desperately waiting for them (and fed by the hype posted on their FB and Twitter pages) are now seriously PO'd.

I had no idea about the views. That really does suck but when you're left with no choice there isn't much you can do.

If you want to be Downtown that is.

I had no idea about the views.

It's pretty much a snub, because usually the least they can do for the people who direct book and pay a high price is give them the better view. Historically it has been the TP rooms that have the bad views (which seems more fair).
