Title: SDCC 2019 Waitlist Discussion
Post by: Sakura17 on April 26, 2019, 05:41:01 PM
Has anyone tried logging onto the on peak system right now? I keep getting error. Wondering if this is preparing for Monday's waitlist.

Waitlist sale question: how long does this run on Monday? So far everything else has been quick but I’m wondering if I should take work off for this one. If I stay at work I’ll have a 2 hour block in the early afternoon central time where I won’t be able to get on a computer. And what time does it usually start? My work computer is so much faster than home that if is going to be an hour at 9:00 pacific time I am better off there.

It's not a sale per se, so don't take the day off. The link stays open almost up until the week of the con. If you're looking for a downtown room, you have to be vigilant and constantly check

I didn't get a waitlist email, I am assuming since I got a hotel assignment (way out, not on the shuttle route, and only requested downtown!) My daughter did get the email. Can I use her link on Monday, or is it specific to one person?

BTW did you wind up booking or declining that hotel?  If you declined, did you get an email back from onPeak?

The waitlist opens Monday and I thought we could use a place to discuss it, maybe shout out sightings if a good room pops up.

I was wondering how it works... if you select a hotel from the list and start to check out, do they hold the room for you while you are entering your info? Say for 10 minutes like they do during hotelpocalypse? Or can you lose the room if someone else types their info faster? Anyone remember from last year?

If you decline OR if you let your hotel allocation expire w/o putting a deposit, you will get no further communication from OnPeak. As far as OnPeak is concerned, their interactions / transactions with you are essentially done, until you actually book another hotel with them through the leftover sale.

Post by: handelacruz on April 27, 2019, 06:37:31 PM
I don’t think they hold it for you while you are entering your info. I remember in the past years, people would lose some big hotels like MMM and Bayfront because they were slow to put in their credit card or don’t remember their login.

I’ll probably have my credit card on me at all times when I’m refreshing like crazy all day.  :P

It's 2019... it's inexcusable to have a system that doesn't lock your inventory while you're checking out. Heck, it was inexcusable in 2009.

I declined my hotel assignment and have received an email receipt of my decline. The email has a "Book a Room!" link to my OnPeak account. When I log in, I see all the hotel choices. As of right now they are all listed as unavailable. I am curious to see if come Monday I will be able to see the released waitlist inventory. The OnPeak representative that I spoke to told me that I would remain on the waitlist since I had marked it on the form. I will update on Monday!

Wow, that’s odd. When I’ve declined in the past, I didn’t receive anything. Maybe they changed their procedure. Or maybe OnPeak is just being peak OnPeak .

Couldn't agree more. Wish OnPeak would give us 15 minutes to fill out info just like they do with hotel requests, but I guess this is why we can't have nice things.  :-[

OnPeak only allows you to create a profile and password when you are reserving a room and there are no rooms to reserve at the moment until the waitlist is live.

Would we use our onPeak profile and password from last year, if we already have one? Or do we create new each year?

Thanks!

If its anything like last year than no they don't hold the room while you check out unfortunately. Last year I got lucky and noticed they had put up a few hotels. Entered my info and hit submit and the system said the room was gone! You really have to be fast!!

I just looked at mine from last year, and it's not just a URL. It's a link that comes up and looks to be a really long one.

So, to my non-technical mind, it looks to be a personal link?

Good luck to everyone entering the waitlist today!

And just a reminder; downtown hotels still exist after the "waitlist sale". IIRC, a majority of the most desired hotels (HBF, MMM) didn't even go up on the waitlist sale date and were added a couple of weeks later.

I don’t think so. At least from what I see, if I log into OnPeak, I only see my reservation. No access to add rooms, see a hotel list, etc.

It works as I expect it to. Seems like it’s different for those that created an ID and didn’t pay or declined their room.

Did you request more than 2 rooms and they only gave your 2 rooms?
Asked for 2 rooms in the lottery and got two rooms.  As long as a block doesn't exceed the max (5), the system would let you add more reservations.

Last year, I was given the Westin for 2 rooms. Cancelled one.  When the waitlist became live (or the next day) was able to book a Residence Inn Downtown for a friend with that "book more rooms" link.

I'm in... as others have said, nothing is available yet.  I wouldn't say I got a wait list email but did a receive something telling me since I need a room, click the link to book something.  I also have tech savvy friends that are in without any link.

Since I was able to get someone else's reservation for Doubletree Downtown and never completed my reservation for T&C, I got the email this morning to sign into my OnPeak account for the wait list sale.
Did the email have a time or book a room link?

No time.  All the email said was "We never received your credit card details. This hotel request has been cancelled.

If you need to book a new reservation, click the link below to log in to your record and secure a room."

And when I click the link, it asks me to log in to my OP account and shows me all the hotels.

I was debating about going booking my own reservation for extra dates that I'm staying at one the big hotels, and then having them merge with the comic con booking, but it kind of is almost the same price after all the taxes and fees are combined. In addition, they might hit me with that destination fee. Last year MGH with comic con rate did not add on that destination fee.

The waitlist emails may go out in batches, unfortunately, and haven't been sent yet.

Will Onpeak let you have multiple reservations under one account? I booked a Mission Valley hotel in case nothing else became available, but hope to use the same account if/when hotels are released.

Also, when I log into my reservation, I can't see any updated inventory. Only what I reserved. Not sure how others are seeing the hotel lists.

I don't think they do.  I think you have to create a new one to book, then cancel the other.

You can have multiple reservations under one account. I ended up with 2 at separate hotels last year for a short period. I didn’t want to risk cancelling one and then not being able to grab the other, so booked additional and then cancelled the extra when I received a confirmation.

Whether or not you can get a room during waitlist sale or have to wait until general sale is another matter.

FWIW-I can only see my reserved room as well. I think this is as designed, but appears OnPeak hasn’t closed all loopholes for waitlist sale.

I think you need to have another email address to use a log in to view the updated inventory if you already have 1 room assigned, or wait for when open sale to use the same email address to log in.  If you originally booked 2 rooms, and canceled one of the rooms you can use that email address to look at updated inventory. I received a room from the exchange, and when I log in, it only shows my current reservation and I can't add another room or see any rooms available.

I'm so tempted to just say I forgot my password for a different email address that I used as a waitlist to see if that will generate a link that I could use to see other hotels.

If you get a link and are able to book a room, the system won't allow you to reserve the new room until the room alredy in your reservation has been cancelled.

To get around that, when you are able to book a new room and add your info, the system looks the info up and asks if you want to use your account info.  Click "No."

You'll add your info again and hopefully you can reserve the new room. Doing it that way, I believe, creates a room block, where you can manage both rooms, and under the same email account.

I think with on peak, it you get a hotel in wave 2 that you don't want, at least create the log in and do nothing, then you can view hotels before the waitlist. That's what happened to me last year. I remember seeing some of the big ones on there before the waitlist started too. I think that's their biggest loophole that's an advantage before waitlist and open sale.

As far as I can remember, that's how it happened last year too. And yes, it sucks. It seems super unfair that people who were already offered a hotel and decided not to take it get a second chance before people who were offered nothing.

You'll add your info again and hopefully you can reserve the new room. Doing it that way, I believe, creates a room block, where you can manage both rooms, and under the same email account.

Ack!  There is no NO option.

I declined my round 2 assignment and got an email this morning with a link to what seems like the waitlist.  Hotels are starting to come up and I (think) I just scored Hilton Bayfront!

Could you tell us maybe how many of the downtown walking distance hotels did you see were available if you can remember?

A lot are coming up but seems like only a couple of rooms each for downtown.  I'm still on the page refreshing because I need a second room.

I've seen MGH come and go (fingers not fast enough).  Residence Inn (limited nights available). Indigo. Solamar etc.

Sofia & Westgate have been up for awhile, those are safe bets if the waitlist e-mail ever goes out.

Con-adjacents hotels are very few and very far between. It'll be a listing for like 1 room at the hotel that'll pop up and it'll be gone in a flash.

Not bad! I stayed there a few years ago. It's a smaller boutique style hotel that reminds me of New York. 1King room felt a bit cramped but we survived. Can't complain much because you're in a downtown hotel after all! It was super convenient when Conan was at the Spreckels theater a block away. The walk to/from con through Gaslamp is always nice.

When I clicked the link, it almost immediately sent me to the Hotels list. I saw that all of the big 6 were "Unavailable," but I just wanted something downtown and reasonable, so I grabbed the Westin. I received the "pending reservation", so now just waiting for the confirmation.

I clicked the link again to view the list of Hotels, but the walking man has been pacing in the same spot for the last 10 minutes.

I like how the waiting room has a "Leave the waiting room (You will lose your place" link at the bottom.

From a UX perspective, what logical reason is there to have such a link? If you're waiting, you never want to click it. If you're giving up, you close the tab/browser or you go to some other website. I can't think of a situation where you would ever want to click it.

Oh that is absolutely infuriating.  I feel like it was at least still listed as unavailable last year.  The fact that they allow people to waste valuable hotel choice slots on Pendry and then clearly not even have it as an available hotel is so insanely wrong.

Yes, you should be able to.  I did that one year, managed to get the Westin for a few nights and then later the other nights appeared and I booked it separately on OnPeak.  Then called the hotel and had them merge the reservations so I wouldn't have to check out and then check back in.

Me too. I've been up since 4am Hawaii time waiting for the link, which came while I was driving to work. When I was able to safely look, downtown was gone and our quad needs a closer hotel due to health issues. I'm hoping that stalking the page over the next week or so will bring some luck.

I just checked for Wed-Sun and there are a few hotels 4+ miles away, available on some of the days, or NO Friday or NO Friday/Saturday.
No downtown hotels currently.

Yes, there were some available earlier. Right now there is nothing showing as available.

Keep checking, hotels will pop up in the coming weeks.

Thanks! I already have a room but I was trying to help someone out but I will check back later.

There will be more hotels popping up closer to the May 10th deposit date (after this day you pay a penalty).  People that have 2 or more downtown hotels reserved will give up any not necessary.

I'm going to say I don't remember seeing non downtown hotels unavailable this early.

I think there is something else going on.  What, I don't know.

A couple of speculations:

A couple of speculations:

  • One thing I've noticed is that as the system has been essentially the same for a few years, people have gotten better at gaming it and getting their downtown hotels in the early rounds by putting in multiple requests.  This is something most people were afraid to do when the system was new.
  • There's more trading going on
  • I noticed that the site said "attendee".  I suspect that there is another list of hotels for guests, exhibitors, and such.  Maybe that list is being held as larger.

I think
1) yes, absolutely
2) probably
3) The exhibitors do have their own separate sale. It takes place before the open/attendee sale. According to the exhibitor I know, it's almost as bad as our sale - i.e., he almost never gets the exact hotel he wants and thanks the gods the years he manages to get downtown. But I think that sale is 100% over, so whatever inventory is left should be all they have.

I’m sure this has been said before, but the message may get lost here, and it bears repeating:

Don’t be afraid to book hotels for only a couple of the days, and then book another hotel for the other days. Yes, it’s inconvenient to switch hotels mid-con, but I’ve done it four times now, and it really isn’t that bad. I’ve even used the shuttles to transport my luggage.

So if you play around with the dates and see a hotel that’s only available for a couple days, I’d book it and then search for another hotel to complement those dates.

One thing I've wondered about doing is getting a hotel for Tuesday and Wednesday (many of the top hotels available) and then just seeing if there are last minute cancellations and "no shows" that allow you to stay in the same room for the rest of the con.

I have a friend who has developed a relationship with the manager of her favorite hotel and they contact her about 2 weeks before the con with a room that was returned by OnPeak.   Yes, Rooms are returned at that late time.

Have you ever asked your hotel for the first part of the stay if you could have stayed there if you didn't have a paid reservation for the second one?

OK, so,...


I have good news for some.  When I first got in this morning i tried to book a room at the intercontinental.  I got to the end where I was to enter my CC info and got an error. I was then taken to the first page and went thru the process again.  The intercontinental was gone so I started over with Westin SD.  Got thru got my room.  Just a few minutes ago I went back to the generic un-logged in open page to see what was left out of curiosity.  Everything was booked out.


I then clicked login button at the top right.  Logged in and it asked me which reservation do i want to see.  I only have one reservation.  At the Westin.  I click the first in the list and it's my intercontinental reservation but with no deposit made.  It was still being held in my name.  I cancelled it and it immediately appeared back in inventory.  I checked and I still have my Westin reservation with my CC deposit already taken. 


Good news being for those without hotels, I am willing to bet due to the massive issues onpeak was having with error messages and charging peoples cards that there are tons of rooms in limbo right now that no one has and probably doesn't know they have.  I imagine OnPeak will eventually go thru inventory and release all rooms that deposits haven't been made on.

It didn't help that people who already had downtown hotels were allowed first pick of the litter while the wait-listers had to sit around, wait for the email and hope that there was anything left. I'm still kind of bitter about that.

If that hotel is what you want I'd call onpeak immediately.  I bet that room is being held for you.  They could process the deposit and you'd be golden.

hotels that are released from an individual cancelling their reservation is at anytime day or night. last year big releases, i assume like studios holding a block of rooms and then deciding to release them, seemed to be monday thru friday early business hours. i think these usually happened on Mondays but my memory is fuzzy on that detail.

That's an odd error. If you are still having the issue I would try logging out, closing all of your browser windows, and then starting again. If that doesn't help maybe try clearing cookies or using a different browser?

My prediction.... at exactly 10:38:24 AM PST yesterday (Based on when link was posted here by an awesome member) this is when emails started hitting and people started making reservations and received error message and crash of system. This in turn created a bunch of ghost reservations with no deposit.  At 10:38:24 AM today those ghost reservations will auto delete due to lack of deposit info and become available live. 

So between 10:30 ish and 11:00am I foresee a ton of hotels dropping! Mark my word.

I'm surprised even the Mission Valley hotels are unavailable. The Early Bird hotel sale came and went, so I assumed the demand for those hotels was similar to previous years.

I feel like this has to be OnPeak's inventory system experiencing errors or delays.

Agreed, it sounds like a lot of people double-booked not knowing they did since payments weren't going through yesterday. Would they open those back up after 24 hours?

No idea on Friday. With OnPeak, it's always a guessing game.

You have until 5/10/19 to refund your deposit for any reservation made through OnPeak. Once refunded, you can always book another room. OnPeak can't "trade" rooms within their inventory. If you make a reservation after 5/10/19 but want a different room that's available, you are stuck with the original reservation or trying to sell it to somebody else.

I leave the Check-In and Check-Out fields blank. I believe this defaults to only displaying Hotels that have a 2 night-stay from Thursday 7/18 - Sunday 7/21 minimum available.

Maybe it wasn’t released because it wouldn’t be a consecutive stay available. Last year that happened to me a few times as I was rearranging rooms.

Last year, I booked a 1 King Fireplace Suite, hoping to later explore other options to upgrade or downgrade. Turned out that, through OnPeak, it was not possible to switch the reservation to *any other* room types, period. I could only switch to other rooms of the exact same type.  I even called them to see if the phone reps had access to other options than I could find online. They did not, and their only suggestion was for me to forfeit the deposit and book another room. (haha yeah right)

Those were the mission valley hotels that were almost always available last year. 

The only MV hotel I have stayed in is the marriott, cause I had points, and I personally liked it.  Hotel was friendly, rooms were nice, there were places nearby (bit of a walk but manageable).

This isn't really an IP ban, which is when a site blocks a specific user based on their IP address. But OnPeak does cut you off if you view the hotel page something like 100 times.  You cna avoid this by opening a "private" browser session, aka incognito mode, etc.

here's hoping that we see more movement tomorrow.

this feels weird, i don't recall stuff being so constrained. last year i  remember far away hotels being easily available even early in the "waitlist" process (unless i'm misremembering)

edit: small thing i observed. for those with >2 rooms in a single account (or with a group reservation), do you see that the number of hotels you can book is reduced by the number of rooms you have right now? i have one room right now (only tues-wed), and the website says I can book up to 4 more at all hotels, but if i don't log in then it says 5. this is more obvious if you look at the availability tab for each hotel

this feels weird, i don't recall stuff being so constrained. last year i  remember far away hotels being easily available even early in the "waitlist" process (unless i'm misremembering)

edit: small thing i observed. for those with >2 rooms in a single account (or with a group reservation), do you see that the number of hotels you can book is reduced by the number of rooms you have right now? i have one room right now (only tues-wed), and the website says I can book up to 4 more at all hotels, but if i don't log in then it says 5. this is more obvious if you look at the availability tab for each hotel


Can I ask how you ended up with one room when trying to book as a group?  Did you ask for five rooms and OnPeak only gave you one room, or did you give up four of the five rooms they gave you?

I have a group booking and I originally had 2 rooms on there so I would see up three rooms but I now have three rooms and only see two

I did not  getting anything rounds 1 or 2. Only got something off of the "waitlist" so I can have my account ready to go.

One way to do this is to book two rooms when logging into the waitlist, then cancel one (or all for that matter), and it should leave you with a group account.

There may be other ways but this is the "official" way to do it.

Does make adding hotels a heck of a lot easier.

Last year there were at least a couple of big drops, where downtown rooms opened unexpectedly, and then also in spots at any time of the day or night.  Staying glued to this forum can absolutely help as there are FoCC members doing the work of 'hotel angels'...watching and posting...watching and posting...

I did have a hotel assigned in wave 2 so what I did is create a new account with a different email and I used my middle name. After that, I cancelled my original reservation and got a refund in two days :)

It was late in the game after the deadlines. I had a 6 day reservation and the new hotel was for Thursday through Sunday so I just did my prepaid two days at the original reservation and then. Over Thursday afternoon to the new one downtown for the rest of the Con.

Sort of.  But in a basic way. You just need to delete their cookie.  IIRC when their counter reaches 99 or 100 they cut you off! (its the number at the end of the URL preceding #hotels)

My number is over 100, but I still have access.

I'm using the generic link, so maybe that has something to do with it.

It's been days of refreshing the waitlist, and I finally thought I got a good hotel. I'll keep trying though. And hopefully they'll have good news for me when they call about my case.

Which hotel did you manage to snag before the snafu with onpeak?

It's a hotel in Old Town. Even though it's not near the con, I was excited because I love Old Town. You should keep trying. My friend kept getting errors on the site, but she finally got something near the airport.

I might say--everyone has their limits.  Stalking/refreshing can be tiring, challenging, discouraging...HOWEVER...last year, as ozzz has posted reminders of--there were some real gems that dropped at unexpected times.  I am still looking and popping in as often as I can. If I miss something, I have to forgive myself and move on with hope toward a new drop.

I bet that if you reserved, Wed-Fri and Sat-Sun, a Saturday room would free up by the time of the con.

I believe you need to make a new account with a new email address. That's what I did last year when I had to split my hotels.
And that's what I'm doing this year (although more unsuccessfully--still trying to find a place for Friday night!)

I ADORE the Horton, the staff are the friendliest people ever. While my favorite place is the Residence Inn Gaslamp, the Horton was a close second. Rooms were small but it was so cozy and I loved it. We did have a few 'instances' that were slightly eerie, but that didn't scare me away at all. I'm quite bummed I didn't get it in the hotel lotto.

We have a room at the Residence Inn not Gaslamp, so we're not SOL... but I'd loooove to get the Horton or Gaslamp, like most people of course.

I think Friday night is better.  Not a lot happens on Sunday, so for people short on funds, they can come Friday, hang out all day Friday and Saturday, and then leave Saturday night.

I always have more fun on Friday nights.  Saturday is always hard to get into anything fun. Industry parties and private events dominate Saturday night. I always find myself walking around unable to get into much.  Syfy was open on Saturday to everyone last year thankfully.

Yeah, it's unfortunately been that way with a lot of the downtown hotels that HAVE popped up, with them missing just one day. I've been refreshing constantly since it went up and no dice on what I want.

Not much activity at all today. I've been periodically refreshing throughout the day in hopes of an upgrade, but I digress... Yesterday, I noticed that a few Downtown hotels show up and vanish and the Mission Valley and Hotel Circle hotels were popping in and out all day long, but not so much today. The only constant today is that it appears that nobody wants the Town & Country.

On another note if it helps last year for me I didn't get a hotel till after the deadline.

I sent an email to OnPeak about trying to get a second room after I manage to get one room off the waitlist and this was their reply

Quote
Currently the nights of 7/18 - 7/22 are sold out.

You will have to check back when general housing opens to see if anything becomes available. Please refer to the event website for general housing openings. Please also keep in mind the cancellation policy listed on your confirmation.

So maybe they are going to open up more inventory on or after May 6th. Or it could just be a standard email they send out for every event.

I think it's more along the lines of them anticipating more inventory will open after May 6 because that's one of the refund deadlines. People will cancel because they don't want to lose their deposit on rooms they don't plan to use.

I believe the refund deadline is May 10th. May 6th is the day the sale is supposed to officially open to the public.

About the hotels disappearing really fast, they probably go fast, but it's compounded by the fact that people see something, then post, so there's additional time. Then you also have people F5-ing, so we don't know when exactly it was posted (could be a lag of a few minutes), though it's probably not that much given that a lot of people are still looking. Still, the best way to grab is to look at the site yourself and not rely on forum postings, though it's still good to have just in case you're off doing something else.

FWIW I did see a few times some hotels being available that no one posted about.

Even worse, I'm paranoid throughout the day. While working, I'm constantly thinking, "If I spend X amount of time on a task, I might miss the one refresh interval that nets me a hotel!"

*goes to refresh*

Its not bad at all. I have a new born and it gets me away from the craziness. There are better food option in Little Italy. The shuttle stops right in front and since everything is a lotto these days I don't stress getting to the convention center super early. Also the trolley is very close by. They have a Claim Jumper(with very unhealthy but good cheese bread) if you don't feel like walking. Also there is also a sandwich place next door serving Boar's Head deli meat with barely anyone there for a quiet lunch staring at the bay...

Post by: Emerald_Mom on May 06, 2019, 07:36:53 AM
There should be hotels coming back to OnPeak right before the deadline for getting a refund.... tho, in all honesty, this has been an odd year with very little showing up.... last year several people got downtown hotels off the waitlist before it opened up to the general public.

Been refreshing near constantly at least once an hour (aside from sleep) since waitlist went up and I haven't seen any big gaslamp hotels pop up. Sofia was closest that I've seen, I believe.

I thought the list would open to everyone today, but I now see it is stated as sometime after May 6th:

(from the SDCC website):
"We urge everyone who still needs a hotel reservation to this check page sometime after May 6, 2019 for updated room availability. All rooms will be available on a first come, first serve basis at that time."

I ended up getting the Moxy for me and my friends. We can handle the smaller rooms. We really wanted something closer and for us the Moxy seems close enough where we'd probably be walking everywhere. Were from Chicago so were used to being on our feet and not driving.

Per the Onpeak rep he said its Hotel Solamars policy. He said that it’s rare to see but in the past he has seen that it is due to the hotels inability to handle large amounts of guests on those days to check in.

My guess is the hotel has a 2 night minimum, un-comiccon related which is common.  Many high end hotels won't let you book just friday or just saturday.  Must book both, and someone was able to modify their reservation in onpeak and drop just Friday which they shouldn't be able to but hey.  It's onpeak. Since when do their systems work lol. Now the hotel will remain in limbo until someone drops a Saturday only reservation.

I’m just curious how many folks are still without a hotel vs how many folks are looking to get closer hotels. I haven’t seen much movement on the site

I think quite a few people grabbed an extra hotel yesterday as a bargaining chip looking to trade it in hopes of getting closer... while that Hotel Solamar just sits there like an eye sore. "Like a splinter in your brain driving you mad."  ;D

I think more hotels will open up on the 10th, which is the deadline before the one-day penalties are assessed for cancelling.

completely agree.  if you are still looking to get hotels may 10th is a big day.  like HUGE. 

wonder if anyone will refund their less desired hotel for what is behind door number 3.

That's a HUGE all-or-nothing gamble. You may crap out by rolling the dice on getting a closer hotel and cancelling what you have. With this being the 50th anniversary, people just may hold onto their hotels. We'll see...

I read in another thread that someone took the one-night penalty to get closer and stay at the Omni. As much as I loved staying at the Omni, I don't think I'd be willing to throw away money like that, especially at $300 per night.

for some there is no gamble.  they have nothing.  yeah the one night penalty i have seen before.  but that was in dramatic scenarios.  like from old town to bayfront.....

you might be able to justify it with parking and transport.  but i am just making stuff up to try to make an imaginary person feel better.

Was able to book The Sofia when the waitlist opened up, and if something good enough "pops" I'll definitely forfeit a day of deposit. I usually meltdown and nope the hell out of the crowds at least one day of the con and being able to calm down and reset in my own space, while pricey, is totally worth it to me. Good luck to us all  ;D

It's also possible OnPeak just removed it. I believe that's what the OnPeak rep told me last year when the Hilton Gaslamp had a similar situation. They were getting call after call about trying to book a reservation.  ;D

i have heard different people get experiences on both sides.  if you call the hotel and you get someone nice or a nice manager they give you a room !  they are not "exactly" sold out.  we know this.  its just a matter of if you can get them to give you one of them.

Last year I actually considered the one night penalty when I saw the MGH come up and i had a courtyard Marriott. I didn't and I regret it because the Courtyard was terrible!! By yeah it's a gamble.

It was that one. The lobby and the floor with the vault are about the only things nice in that hotel. The rooms are tiny with old furniture. My view was a brick wall outside so the room was always dark. Also the smell was disgusting like the room needed a deep cleaning. It smelled like really strong body odor. I called to try and get another room and couldn't since they were sold out. They gave me a bottle of febreeze so I could spray the room. Each time I used valet they couldn't find my car even though I gave them more than the required 20 minutes notice. I even offered to go find my car with them because they couldn't find it since my car is the only mint green yaris they had. That's just the tip of the iceberg. It was a bad experience for me and I would never stay there again.

Wow! Thanks for the detailed review!

My wife and I have the choice for the Westin SD and this Marriott Courtyard. One room is ours and the other is for a friend and his sister; they didn't care which one as long as they got something downtown. Now I'm unsure on which to keep. The Courtyard is a bit closer, but the Westin looks nicer, overall with more spacious rooms.  :-[

Last year I was looking for just Wednesday to Saturday and didn't need Saturday night so I was in the situation you were in so I used a chrome extension called Kantu Browser Automation.  Essentially you hit a record button and then perform the actions you want to perform like refresh, click here, pick check in date, click here, click check out date, click here sort by distance, end.  When your done recording your series of actions you can then set it to repeat those actions in that order ever X seconds.

I'm in the same exact situation. My group has the MGH, which is the same hotel we had last year. It is a fantastic hotel and only about a 5 minute walk to the convention center.

Our group is really only looking to upgrade to HBF, Omni, or MMM. But if we don't get anything, we won't be upset.

It is as if I am transfixed. I am powerless to stop it.  I must check.  And it may help someone, too.
I am hoping to get something closer than a mile so i keep checking. Wishfully thinking the Marina or Manchester will pop up!

Ha, I’m in the nearly the same boat. I have my hotel all set (thanks to a fellow FoCC’er), and I won’t be switching even if something “better” comes by, but I can’t help but monitor the hotel availabilities. I’m more or less scouting to see what my chances are of getting a hotel during this period for next year.

It’s always so stressful. I remember I got a room last year in like June from all the cancellations but each year can be different. Not good for the heart

Don't know, general consensus seems to be that this year everyone is holding to what they got already, very little downtown options and none of the big ones so far

Ditto. After your scintillating review of the Courtyard, I did some research, and apparently a great deal of their rooms reek of BO; a great deal of the complaints were most of what you listed... and unless you're lucky enough to get a high floor, the view is either non-existent or of other buildings. I'm torn because the Courtyard is a hop, skip and a jump away from the action. Walkability is my main concern since I'll be cosplaying for a few days and can't be walking a mile to the convention center in-costume.

A few years ago, a friend and I stayed at the Four Points Sheraton and that walk was an endless journey. Going to the center, I wanted to take the shuttle, but it was always full upon arrival, so it was faster if you walked... and you had to walk through what I called Bum City where a bunch of homeless and pool hall characters would congregate and do unmentionable things on the sidewalk.  ???

It's about 0.7 from the Convention center.

I've been using Google to map distances between Hotels, supermarkets and to and from the Convention center. I think it works well!

Both me and my friend have been refreshing and we both haven't seen it come up yet.  I'm not sure why, I released a Hilton MV a week ago and it seemed to go back into the pool immediately.  AFAIK the room is still out in the wild lol.  Sorry if that's not much help  :(

On Peak is prob holding on to that one for the deadline date or after the deadline. Last year when I released the U.S. Grant it never showed up until after the deadline.

Don’t know if you’ve seen or know but if you look under individual dates, embassy for Wednesday is available with 2 double beds(no pull out) -city view. If you book it, you might be able to get it changed by putting a ticket or request through onpeak  to change it to king once one becomes available. Hope this helps 😀

Wyndham Bayside is up, but missing Wednesday.

Last night, my wife was checking on her phone and the MGH popped up and she freaked out and started shouting, "It's up!! It's up!! Get it!!" I calmly asked for her to check the dates, and they were all over the place. It was something like Monday, Tuesday and Friday only. It was kind of funny to see her all excited and completely deflated all in the span of 10 seconds.

Last night, my wife was checking on her phone and the MGH popped up and she freaked out and started shouting, "It's up!! It's up!! Get it!!" I calmly asked for her to check the dates, and they were all over the place. It was something like Monday, Tuesday and Friday only. It was kind of funny to see her all excited and completely deflated all in the span of 10 seconds.

And it's gone!

do you know if it was a 1 or 2 bed?

i actually have a small MGH reservation (tues-thurs), i would have loved to extend it to friday. i'm still hoping by some miracle that someone will drop MGH in the next 48 hrs so I can get the full weekend.

edit: though if thurs-fri wasn't available that wouldn't have helped me anyways...

I think it was 2 beds. It was up for at least 10 minutes until someone snagged it, probably to use as a bargaining chip.

I'm new to this level of hotel room stress. In prior years, I've been fortunate to either get a downtown room directly or been able to be helped by others very soon in the process.
(1) So can I ask for some knowledge. When the May 10 at midnight deadline passes, do those rooms become available at 12:01am or do they hold them back, do some accounting, and release them in a bunch at a later time?

(2) Do many Mission Valley and Bayside rooms open up after the deposit deadline? If yes, then I might not book anything and hope for a downtown but be ready to book a Mission Valley or Bayside. If no, then I might book a Mission Valley hotel now, and risk eating the 1 night deposit if I am lucky enough to get a downtown room. But that's a $250 cost that I'd rather avoid.

Any help from others with more knowledge and experience?

Once somebody cancels their reservations before the deadline, the room apparently automatically goes back into the system, and is almost immediately available. There does seem to be some exceptions. There won't magically be a dump of rooms at midnight.

My guess is that hotels for talent is handled separately and that when those get cancelled, it's managed internally and then released to the public.  That's why many of the big 6 drops all happen at the same time.

The exceptions seem to be downtown and gaslamp hotels. I've noticed that the MV and Hotel Circle hotels were returned to the pool and available almost instantaneously after cancellation, but anything released downtown took a bit of time to process.

Thanks, everyone. That helps!

I'm either hoping for a full room that I can then find some roommates to split, or be a roommate for someone else. (I did post in the room share thread.)

Wish me luck.

 5/10/18
Bristol
Doubletree SD Downtown (1.2 mi)
Hotel Republic
Horton
MGH
Residence Inn Downtown (1.0 mi)
Sofia
Westin SD
US Grant


According to my notes, MGH was consistently popping up and HBF/MMM only started appearing in June and July.

Hey squidward, if you still need a room I can release my Moxy downtown room at 1:45pm EST for you. It is on the smaller side so you probably won't be able to fit many people in but it's in the Gaslamp.

Agreed.  I was the one who dropped 2 MGH rooms Wed - Sun last night.  MGH immediately popped up, but not all days.  So this "live inventory" from OnPeak seems like BS.  I think last year there were more Gaslamp drops prior to the 1st deposit deadline.  Maybe they're saving them all for after, knowing that some of us will be tempted to surrender a night's deposit for something closer. Thanks, OnPeak .

I agree. I got HBF last year before first deadline. Onpeak is being greedy.

I am definitely stuck. I have access to a vpn on my laptop and that did nothing. Still a 406 error.
I have rebooted all electronics including PC, laptop, router, switch. (All off, then turned on in sequence router>switch>PC/laptop)
I have cleared cache and data.
Private/incognito.
Even installed a brand new browser (Opera) and got the same 406 error.
All I can think is my IP address is banned due to refreshing. I don't think the cable company will give me a new IP address, but I can call and ask.

Have you tried a VPN service? Might be a trial available for some of the more popular ones. Tons to choose from, NordVPN, TorGuard, etc.

Typically a lot of VPNs that are built in browsers are more like VPN Lite so they don't really function as true VPNs. Last year I had my IP blocked but could easily access the site again through changing my server on TorGuard.

Hey guys!  I noticed this glitch issue too when one of my friends tried to drop her downtown for me to grab last night.  Of course it didn't work and I almost cried.

If anyone here is about to or planning to drop anymore Wed-Sun or Mon reservations that are MGH or other close downtown hotels, PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE PM ME... I'll transfer my payment to the reservation and would be so greatly appreciative.

Going on 12 years of no luck landing a downtown hotel, i.e. Horton, Embassy, MGH, MMM, Omni, HardRock, HBF...Also lack of sleep at this point trying with this onpeak system.

Thank you!!!!

The GI Joe Motto has been playing in my head all day about knowing is half the battle.  AH!  So if there is a kind heart on this forum that happens to have a hotel close to the convention they'd like to drop, please let me know.

The hotel Coronado is a super nice hotel and the beach is amazing.

But the Coronado has SDCC no shuttle stop. The hotel does look beautiful.

Don’t you have to take a ferry to get to the convention center?  And a bus/trolley from the hotel to the ferry stop?

I wondered that last year when so many hotels (HBF, MMM, Pendry) appeared after the second deadline.

Ha, I’m in the nearly the same boat. I have my hotel all set (thanks to a fellow FoCC’er), and I won’t be switching even if something “better” comes by, but I can’t help but monitor the hotel availabilities. I’m more or less scouting to see what my chances are of getting a hotel during this period for next year.

The Pendry last year?  Really?

Just an FYI, for those who don't know, Hotel Del Coronado is a AAA - 5 Diamond Hotel, just 1 of 4 in San Diego County.  There are only 127 5-diamond hotels in the US.  The Del is absolutely breath taking.

I agree.  If you get to San Diego early not a bad idea to take a visit/tour. Lots of history in that hotel

Agreed Onpeak is holding the days. I’m guessing that they will hold out till Saturday after all refunds are done and then release the extra days. If no one cancels then they earn one night per reservation

Yeah maybe they're going to release five rooms at one time rather than one room? I think OnPeak just wants to keep that one night deposit for extra $$$, but then again who knows.

One of the main reasons CCI uses OnPeak is to help prevent abuse from hotels charging ridiculous mark up on the rooms and then OnPeak comes along and makes a blatant money grabbing policy like this.... CCI should drop then like a hot sack of potatoes. Maddening.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm also sure I did this one year but like instead of losing a night on the deposit, can't you just call OnPeak and have them move your existing deposit on over and pay the difference?  I meant to call OnPeak today about it but whenever I call I'm on hold for a really long time : \

My offers to transfer if someone is going to drop is within these parameters.  I'm offering to pay the two night deposit via a complete transfer with a conference call with onpeak, a payment via venmo and then transfer payment info via conference call with onpeak for the MGH, HR, HBF, MMM, Embassy, hilton Gaslamp.  Ready and willing.  The dropping on Onpeak isn't working, and if you had those hotels and willing to transfer to me, you'd make this horrible bad luck girl of 12 years so happy.   :) :) :) :)

Yes, that's that cheapest.  That's actually pretty spot on for a normal Fri & Sat night rate for them any summer weekend. Not just CC weekend.  Not a cheap place to stay.  Was actually trying to book a room there in June from Sunday to Thursday and they wanted 1000$ a night for the cheapest room that week. Lol not sure what they had going on that week, maybe graduations or something like that but it was crazy out of my price range.

Just snagged a Hard Rock suite for Thursday-Sunday so looks like they are still releasing the big ones with reasonable dates.

Would've loved Wednesday night but beggars can't be choosers. Still can't believe my luck there...

Also it might be a bit too pricey for my group so you guys will be first to know if I have to drop it tomorrow.

Nice! Did you grab that just right now? I haven't seen any sign of a Hard Rock. They might release a Wednesday night in the coming weeks?

Grabbed it about 10 minutes ago! Didn't even stop to look at what the room was so I was surprised when I went back and saw it was the pricey suite :P

Well done!  I didn't see it, either.  I've seen the Westgate, MGH, Residence Inn Bayfront in the last 20-30 min.  I'm looking for US Grant - spent the last 2 Cons there, and we love that hotel.

I wonder if it was this person:

https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=10452.msg272988#msg272988

They mentioned how they dropped it but it never showed up. In such scenarios these things seem to have some sort of random delay before they're made available again. It may or may not be the same room but this is a possibility. You never know with how OnPeak works.

(or it could just be someone else not on these forums dropping it)

Oh, that could be. Cause Wed popped up that night, but not the other days. Maybe there was a delay on those, and they popped up now. But yeah, could be someone else too. You never know with onpeak. Their system is so frustrating!

Ooh, thank you for the alert!  I would love to stay at The Sofia, which is always on my top six hotel list, although, I would need it from Tuesday - Monday.  I used to stay there until Hotelpocalypse proved the impossible!  I wonder if they would extend/bookend the days?

They might! But if you decide to go for it, definitely have a back up plan, nothing is ever guaranteed. We have been able to extend and add non-comic con dates to our reservations at other hotels before. Wednesday might give you trouble, but I would guess the other days wouldn't be a problem. Oh, and if I wasn't clear, the room is through Saturday night with a Sunday check-out.

Also, I think that if hotels have Tuesdays and Mondays available, they don't show up on onpeak unless there are comic con dates also available. I dropped a town and country earlier in the week, Thurs-Sat. Before I dropped it, Town and Country wasn't showing up at all. I saw it pop up after I dropped it, and there were other dates showing as available besides the Thurs-Sat that I dropped. Maybe when I drop the Sofia, it will show some additional dates. Fingers crossed!

Thank you for the excellent advice.  I quite agree:  it's always good to have a back-up plan.  OnPeak has really turned lodging into a gamble.   I currently have all days at The Wyndham but am on the lookout for something closer, although, it may be fun to try something new.  I remember being trepidatious when I was assigned The Hampton Downtown a couple of years ago but was pleasantly surprised by the amenities - and I didn't mind being close to the railroad at all.  It was fun to watch the trains go by.

productivity? what's that and how does it improve our chances for a dream hotel?
I have uni finals and I am currently zero prepared!
Let's hope our zero productivity gets us the hotels we want!

I haven't released my Sofia room yet, that was someone else's. So you still have a chance! Will let you know before I drop it.

Keep in mind, people are also adding days to their reservation/adding days from disjointed reservations, so that would likely be why specific days are disappearing from otherwise full days being available.

I put 7/20 - 7/21 and shows more downtown hotels. That way maybe you can get a Saturday in a DT hotel and add the days you want later on when if they become available you just add them and don't have to rush to put in ur info :)

OP won't refund the card and charge a new one, so you have to paypal/venmo/etc. the money for the deposit and then call OP to have them change the hotel holder's name.

SDCC: How to Trade an onPeak Hotel Room
Here’s how to do a room trade/transfer. Note that different Customer Service Reps at onPeak have been known to give out very different info, but the below processes have worked in 2018. Rather than calling, some of these steps can be done online through the onPeak account - we’ll see what they allow this year, and if the process changes.
If the deposit has not been paid:
If the deposit has already been paid, onPeak has told people two different things:

Thing 1:
Thing 2: [No call to onPeak needed]

This is obviously what's happening. There will be dumps coming in the next few weeks for sure. It's sad that OnPeak is doing this for the benefit of the hotels. If you have nerves of steel, cancel whatever hotel you have so you don't lose the deposit when they inevitably offer the hotels you want. I don't have nerves of steel, by the way. ;) I'm staying where I am and using the nearby trolley.

In past years it's been automatic.  Now it seems they are holding back inventory at the popular hotels to extort us out of money after the deposit deadline.  Theory as of now. We'll find out soon enough.

Or people with the really desirable hotels traded them to friends or friends of friends, or the unscrupulous ones "sold" them. I know some HBF rooms appeared after the deposit deadline last year, but it's possible those were being held by a company or studio that didn't get all their guests confirmed in time (and didn't care about eating the deposit).

I mean, I'm willing to believe OnPeak wants to be evil, but they're so generally incompetent that I have a hard time believing they're capable of pulling it off.

There's something foul going on with OP. I alerted a member here who didn't have a room beforehand and released a downtown room at 9am, but it didn't go back to the pool until 9:23am. Previously, when I released a MV room, it immediately went back to the pool. I wouldn't be shocked if the reps. at OP are reviewing and then cherry-picking the downtown rooms for people.

I'm sure some [not sure how much] of what OnPeak will later release comes from cancellations of talent/studios etc.  Once programming etc becomes more finalized maybe rooms at the big hotels will be released to the plebeians.

All the popular hotels hold blocks of rooms for industry folk. When it's clear those rooms aren't all needed, they start to release them. In past years, they released some before the deposit deadline, and some after. This year is different and they haven't released any yet.

i just hope that the big dump is just delayed... hopefully they don't release them while i'm driving home. (or i'll just stay at work to not risk it lol)

Just keep in mind that there will probably be more than one dump. A dump here, a dump there. lol  Some MGH rooms usually open up fairly close to con time.

There was only a handful of reviews on here for the Westin but I read some on their own site and its 50/50. All I learned is the traditional rooms are dated but the other ones like Deluxe are big and nice. Oh that they have weird shower heads! Everything else was fine.

That's what I heard too from a fellow Pop collector.  Its nice a hotel and walk isn't long/bad.  I walk a little over half a mile each way to the commuter train so I'm used to walking on a daily basis.

I booked a Mission Valley room. I'd have taken the Westin or anything within walking distance but after trying a lot yesterday (and having a system failure), I haven't been able to check as frequently today.

If something comes up after the deposit deadline or if someone offers a bed as part of a room share, I'll be out about $200 (penalty of one night's cost) but would be worth it to be closer.

Good luck everyone.

Post by: accelerate on May 10, 2019, 03:05:57 PM
The Westin is in that zone where it's most likely faster to walk to/from the convention center than take the shuttle, unless it's late at night.

Looking at the Shuttle Route (https://www.comic-con.org/sites/default/files/forms/cci2019_prelimshuttlesched_v1.pdf), the Westin is the 8th out of 10 stops from the Convention Center (it estimates 24min), but that also means only 3 stops to the convention center, but you'd most likely encounter full shuttles since the shuttle picks up guests from 7 other hotels first.

ie, better to walk 90% of the time.

I haven't stayed at the Westin San Diego for about 5 years now, but it used to be my #1 choice before I went "all in" with earning HiltonHonors points. Although it's a bit of a walk (15 minutes or so) to the convention center, I almost always did the walk instead of taking the shuttle. I thought the rooms were nice and liked the overall feel of the hotel. There are also some great views if you get a high enough floor.

It really is. Dates are being filled in day-by-day for the group booking I'm working on.

Managed to get Hard Rock for Tuesday night and the Intercontinental for Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday nights. Now Friday & Saturday nights need to be filled in... hopefully at the Intercontinental, but if something closer pops up... cool.

Forget the shuttle, and there's really no need to walk if you don't want to. The Westin is very close to the Santa Fe Depot where you can catch the trolley (Green Line) and get dropped off right in front of the convention center.

The Springhill Suites are also very close to the Santa Fe Depot. Just go there and catch the Green line towards the convention center. They usually have a special con pass for the trolley so you don't have to buy a ticket each time you take it.

Now, this may vary because I haven't done this since it was TP, but it took about a week to be refunded once when we dropped a reservation, but like I said this was 4 or so years ago.

You're welcome! I think you'll find the trolley to be very convenient and inexpensive. It has two stops in front of the convention center, the second one being the Gaslamp which you'll want to use if going to Hall H. Have fun!

It was actually kind of funny, it was when I was in uni and none of us had credit cards with any sort of limit, so no one wanted to put the hotel on their cards so I think I was at my parents' house when the sale was going on and I got it put on my mum's credit card. My parents realized like 3 months down the line after we cancelled thinking they hadn't been refunded, so we contacted TP at the time and it turns out my parents had just missed the refund. So that's why it's so memorable that it only took that long. But still, it can take a while to actually show up on your card in reality, especially with how used to instant processing we are nowadays.

I dropped a room on Monday night (the 6th) and saw the refund yesterday morning (the 9th). According to the record, it posted on the 8th, but I didn't actually see it when I checked on the 8th. So I guess for me it took about 3 days, but I assume it could vary.

I had saved a copy of the cancellation page stating the refund due just in case the money didn't show up and I would need to appeal to Onpeak. Probably unnecessary, but I don't trust their system  :P

Anyone have a guesstimate of how quickly you can refresh without getting 406'd?

I don't want to get locked out and lose my chances this next hour.

I’ve never had an issue but I’m doing it on my phone. Could be why I’m always missing out too because I’ve entered everything within 15 seconds of seeing something and still never get it

So does anyone think if I manage to snag a closer hotel, that I'd be able to transfer the SpringHill and get my deposit back from someone? Like what that likelihood may be? Would that even be a 'desirable' hotel?

I really want to be closer because of walking issues, but I don't want to dump my res and get burned.

I had Hotel Palomar deposit last year but ended up closer after deadline had passed. I posted reservation on here and couldn’t get interest from anyone for it last year.

I have never gotten downtown [member=8900]lisaj[/member] in my years from 2004-2009, 2014-2018,  my drought has ended, but it shouldn't have taken this long, nor should it be this hard.  BTW how do the same groups of people get the same one of the 6 hotels every year?! what secret do they know?  Can i learn it?

I feel like everything (hotels, lines, badges, crowds, etc) about SDCC keeps getting progressively worse and harder every year. I mean, the Town and Country doesn't usually sell out, but it was hardly ever showing up this week. I think people catch on to the systems and patterns too and learn to work it better as well. It might be extra competitive due to it being the 50th anniversary. Maybe next year could be a bit better? One can hope.

We've been lucky to have the MMM twice in the past, but we didn't have any trick, it was sheer dumb luck. That said, I've heard of several people who have never managed to get downtown. Who knows?

Edited to add: I feel like SDCC tries to weed out all but the most committed!

I’m actually pretty worried about walking now since apparently you have to walk past a jail to get to the convention center from Hotel Republic, which doesn’t seem like a great thing to do really early in the morning or late at night.

Last year before the deposit deadline large blocks of rooms, like 10+, were dropped in waves to the big hotels. I was able to get HBF, and my friends got MGH and MMM.  It was unknown exactly how many rooms were dropped in the waves because once the room count got over 5 the site would just say "5+" rooms available.

Way back in the day, like 4 or 5 years ago there was no que to fill out the requests in the initial room lottery. At 9am everyone had access to the form. You filled it out and submitted it and the forms were process based on your submit time stamp. With the help of auto complete I never had a problem getting a DT room back then. I stayed at MMM like 3 years in a row.  I miss those days.

We stayed at The Sophia last year, which was a block away from the jail. We never noticed and I didn’t realize it’s proximity until looking just now.

Granted we weren’t walking by it, but it was fairly quiet near where The Sophia was.

How bad was the walk? In my head a mile isn't too bad but looking at the map it looks a little daunting. I've been super lucky in the past and had really close hotels so this is all a little new even though I've been going for over 10 years 😳

I’ve stayed at the Sofia and Westin San Diego (not Westin Gaslamp) which are pretty much in the same area. If you’re used to walking, it’s ok especially if heading to Sails side it’s less than a mile. I did a mix of walking, trolley, and shuttle depending if I had the time and soreness of feet:) But my roommate walked it 1-2 times and said it wasn’t worth it and took mostly the trolley.

I think it was 0.9 miles and straight shot unless we wanted to walk down the main drag. It was fine to walk back and forth, but just long enough to not really want to go back to hotel for anything.

We stayed at the CC from open to close. The upside is that you do get exposure to restaurants and off-sites by walking back and forth each night.

I wonder how many people are willing to sacrifice a night's deposit for a better hotel.

My friends whom I'm helping now. :-)

I feel foolish but I have still refreshed on & off all weekend.... “just in case”
Anyone feel hopeful there might be drops tomorrow?

I refreshed every once in awhile over the weekend and didn't see anything.  I'm helping be eyes for two groups and didn't see any of the big 6 drop.

I refresh every now and then.  I'm torn.  Don't want to miss Omni, HBF, or MMM; but don't want to lose the one night deposit.

It is a conundrum.  Obviously, you have to decide if it's worth it to you.

Last year I had Springhill Suites.  I can't say I saw closer hotels as it got closer to the con, but I did see a few tweets of other people getting downtown hotels.  I decided early on I wasn't going to lose my deposit, so I didn't stress over it.  I don't regret it.

I'm pretty content where I am at the Courtyard, although a couple of the hotel reviews have me feeling a bit uneasy. As another member said, "0.7 is right on the borderline of walkability." I'm right on the edge of the gaslamp, so it'll be easier to find food, restaurants will be less crowded and CVS is right around the corner. The only way I'll relinquish a night's deposit is if I could somehow snag the Omni, which was amazing when we lucked up and stayed there one year or the HBF, which for years has been a bucket list SDCC hotel. Since I'm an exclusive hunter, that $300 deposit could be used for so many other things.

By June, I saw every single hotel possible that was available EXCEPT for The Pendry. The Big Ones (Hilton Bayfront, Marriot Marquis Marina, Omni, Hard Rock) had multiple rooms open up.

These hotels had reservations up for at least 30 minutes and multiple rooms (up to 5). The only question is, how much are you willing to risk something like that would happen again? Waiting until June for a group's housing can be very stressful.

You can, but you'd have to trust the person will reimburse you for the deposit already paid.

I stayed there last year. I enjoyed the hotel a lot even though I shared at least one complaint with the other forum member who posted their review (my view was also just a brick wall which isn't that great to look at).

As for walkability, it's a bit weird to say it's at the edge of walkability without discussing what you're looking at doing. If you're constantly going to the convention center and use your hotel room for storage and usually do drop and gos multiple times through the day, yes, this hotel is at the very edge of walkability, especially if it gets hot. If you spend a lot of time outside the convention center at off sites or other venues, this is one of the best hotels to get; you're right next to Spreckels (Conan) and Horton Plaza as well as a bunch of clubs and restaurants. Plus in the lobby they had two different types of infused waters that were great for filling up a water bottle on your way out the door.

If this was 5 or 6 years ago, I probably would reject this hotel but as I go more just to hang out and enjoy the sights of San Diego, the Gaslamp and SDCC, this one has gotten more attention from me.

I’m actually pretty worried about walking now since apparently you have to walk past a jail to get to the convention center from Hotel Republic, which doesn’t seem like a great thing to do really early in the morning or late at night.
If you’re of the transit persuasion, there’s actually a trolley stop (Santa Fe Depot, I believe) right there. You can just walk a block or two and hop on. My group and I had little to no trouble with the trip. :)

I still need to find a hotel. I figured if I scored Convention Center Parking all days, I can gamble without a room deposit and wait it out to get a downtown room. Thankfully, I scored CC Parking.

It just makes for a quick and easy Lyft which is probably the best bet. I’ve had the holiday inn bayside in the past and used lyft to get the convention center each day because it was way faster than the shuttle. The shuttle ride back from the center was fast though

Yeah just depends on where you are on the shuttle route. When there’s that big of a gap it’s becuase you’re the first or second stop going back but the last stop usually on the way to the CC

Hang in there !   

Things popped up for my friends in June and even early July.  People cancel the beginning or end of their trips is common.  You don't lose your depost if you only shorten your trip versus canceling altogether.  And as stated people will cancel because their thing wont be there. 

Nerves of steel though.............

I saw multiple posts saying they had no reason to go anymore because Marvel/GOT/ insert fandom weren’t there but I cannot say for sure if they actually canceled. Possibly. Some people without badges hung out at Nerd HQ the entire time. I’ve met people who did that. Then they’d only be canceling hotel.

I would think they wouldn’t cancel or else they’d lose their Returning Registration privileges (correct?)

For me, if for some reason I couldn’t go, I’d definitely would not ask for a refund. Although the point would be moot if CCI ever decides you need to actually attend SDCC and not just merely have a badge to be eligible.

I don't consider that cancelling SDCC, though.  That's just cancelling a trip to San Diego.  To me, SDCC is the badge.

In the past, the answer was no. You needed to pick up your badge onsite, and if you didn't go and pick up your badge, you weren't eligible. When they switched to RFID badges, they did not require this any longer, so you could receive your badge in the mail and then still be eligible for next year's pre-reg, even if you did not attend.

This being said, it's an RFID system. I can see them easily changing it to 'your badge must be tapped in' or some such at any time. So never take it for granted.

I know what you mean. I panicked early and got a MV room and it’s looking like it might have been a great decision. Especially since we needed two beds

It just makes for a quick and easy Lyft which is probably the best bet. I’ve had the holiday inn bayside in the past and used lyft to get the convention center each day because it was way faster than the shuttle. The shuttle ride back from the center was fast though

It's also an extremely quick trolley ride (<10 min.) Usually the wait for a trolley is not bad at all, either.

For S&G's, I check periodically and play with the dates just to see different hotels illuminated besides the two MV. Anyone else besides me do that?

I checked this afternoon and saw that the MGH was available, but only for Friday night... and now, it's gone.

I have MGH thanks to another FoCC'er.  I don't need a room but was just wondering, because it was posted here last year.  I remember the rates were higher but the rooms were nicer.  I didn't try it then and wouldn't try it now because I'm not an exhibitor and don't want to gamble, not to mention that I don't need it; but I am curious as to what's available to them this year.  Maybe the question ought to have been, what's available to exhibitors right now?

I know someone who got a room through the exhibitor link even though he wasn't an exhibitor.  The hotels don't check who you are and don't care. 

I think the Pendry is available to the exhibitors as well as some of the higher priced suites (like the presidential suite at Solomar).

Nah, it's still live by itself. Each org has different hotels. Some also have suites not available to the public.

MGH has 1 night for all con right now through the industry sale, Grant has 4 rooms for all nights.

Awesome!

Some hotels are gracious enough to let you stay in the bigger room of your multiple reservations. It happened to me last year at the Gaslamp Westin, where I had a Tues 2-bed and Wed-Sun 1-bed, and I asked to just stay in the 2-bed room.

That was how I understood, but I would be happy to try and reply with whomever I just was unable to get a response at the time it happened.  I'm sorry if I misunderstood / misrepresented it that was just my best translation of what I understood.  If someone thought I was selling hotel rooms it would be great if they contacted me and asked in advance I would be more than happy to communicate, but I have never in the past nor ever plan to sell hotel rooms.  I can gladly share my ebay name or screen names on any other sites (it's basically stl_ben everywhere).

Maybe Onpeak is going to drop several after the June 1st deadline to make people fork over the full deposit for downtown hotels? Or maybe there isn’t as much turnover this year

Then again, I was surprised when a bunch of downtown hotels suddenly showed up late last week. I suppose anything is possible, but obviously not at the same odds as last year. I've gone this far; I'll see what happens.

i would agree that people may be just salty, but i do think there are some funny things going on this year around the big hotels. i had MGH Tues-Thursday before, and when I dropped it, wed-thursday never showed up in the system as available. Seems like they may be holding back the big hotels to be able to offer full room blocks to others.

Could be that someone else instantly picked it up, but others in this thread have reported similar experiences as well.

i would agree that people may be just salty, but i do think there are some funny things going on this year around the big hotels. i had MGH Tues-Thursday before, and when I dropped it, wed-thursday never showed up in the system as available. Seems like they may be holding back the big hotels to be able to offer full room blocks to others.

My theory is that some hotels, the "big" ones - have their canceled room inventory return to them instead of being returned to OnPeak. It'd be rather simple to just disable "restocking" the rooms for OnPeak. They can then approach the hotel and tell them that they have X number of rooms, then the hotel decides if they want to sell them at their markup rates or return them to OnPeak. Or try to sell them, and if they don't return them to OnPeak after a certain amount of time.

Out of curiosity I went to check if the big hotels have rooms up on their own sites. The Manchester has all their rooms types available now, of course for more than 1k a night. The Marina too. Bayfront none yet.

Also just looked on Hard Rocks site and you can book a room for Tue, Wed, Sat, Sun nights directly from them.  King single bed $500+ a night.  No thursday or Friday night though.

If I’m not mistaken those have always been there on the hotels direct site. Bayfront has always had rooms in years past even before the lottery at outrageous markup.

Honestly, I hope and think CCI would've covered their bases with the contracts with OP and the hotel negotiations. I'd think this wouldn't be possible for OP to return rooms directly to the hotel to mark-up UNLESS there's leftover inventory.

I honestly think people are just holding onto their reservations. Once we get closer to the con we might see some rooms open up as there are always last minute things that come up that prevent you from going. But it's also not difficult to find someone to take over a reservation if you have a popular hotel.

Just a friendly reminder as the deadline approaches:

For reservations cancelled May 11, 2019 through May 31, 2019 by 11:59pm Central Daylight Time (CDT)/9:59pm Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), a cancellation fee equal to one night's room rate and tax will be deducted from the deposit provided.

Reservations cancelled on or after June 1, 2019, ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

I kept holding onto the faint hope that some gaslamp hotels would open up before the non-refundable deadline, but that never happened. I'll just have to be content with an outskirts downtown hotel and cherish the exercise I'll be getting from walking to and from the convention center.

HEADS UP for everybody!!!
back in the waitlist sale I remember I got some processing error on getting some rooms before managing to snag one room.
I even called onpeak on that day to make sure I wasn't double booked on 2 rooms, and they promised me that I only have one room booked on my account. this was weeks ago.

AND guess what, today I just got an email saying my reservation is pending on one of those error rooms!!
and they're gonna charge me a deposit! now I gotta call onpeak again to fix this mess.
sneaky they decided to do this one day before the deposit refund deadline! I'm not losing a deposit on a room I didn't book  >:(

reminding everyone to check your emails and credit card bill to make sure onpeak isn't pulling this stunt on yall.

I called onpeak as soon as i saw the email but that was too late already because they closed at 7pm est.
and I'm seeing on my credit card right now I'm being charged $600+ that I did not consent to.
not sure if I should "cancel" the reservation now or and call them tomorrow (or monday???).
either way I'm being charged money I didn't agree to pay for. and tomorrow is the deposit deadline!
so now I'm $600 poorer and have no way of contacting them.

just wondering if you have a better way of solving this? i'm in disbelief right now.

Was that the Doubletree?

You could reduce that reservation to a one night, though that would be non-refundable.

Maybe someone at https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=10507.0 could book the reservation with their credit card if the card has not processed?

no it's a westin downtown room. they already charged my card.
thing is I already booked another westin room through onpeak way back at the waitlist sale in early may.
I never booked this extra westin room, I never looked at onpeak for the past 2 weeks and suddenly today I get a reservation email and $600 charged on my card?? what the hell.
and this is just HOURS before the deposit refund deadline! and now I have no way of contacting them. 
so I guess I just have to wait it out til next week but they better give me a full refund when I call on monday. unbelievable!

Have you tried to log into the OP page and see if you have two reservations? If so, you could cancel the one that is duplicated and fight the one night deposit with OP. In the e-mail the OP reservation number is different than the one you already had?

Yes I have to similarly resign myself to staying at the current hotel (which is as expensive or more expensive as a closer hotel) and be happy I actually got one that is still walkable to the convention.

Be careful about that, I once did that for a purchase I didn't make and they'll give you your money back immediately, but they open an investigation into it. In my case, they found that they thought I did make the purchase (I really, really didn't) so they took the money back. So make sure to read the messages if you used a debit card instead of credit because they could take the money back again if they find that you "authorized" the booking.

Edit: forgot to put to read your messages so you know ahead if they determined that you did, so you can make sure not to overdraft.

Exactly. The hotels' contract with CCI requires them to offer a certain number of their rooms at the negotiated convention rate. They're free to charge whatever they want for their remaining, non-block rooms. And often these really expensive rooms become available in June and July because the studios/companies finalize their reservations and release the rooms they won't be needing.

Yeah, it's a bit discouraging. I wish I hadn't hyped everything up to my bf, haha. I really just want the best first SDCC experience for him and he got excited being in a close hotel to the con. Seriously this year has been the worst for trying to get a close hotel in the list 14 years going to SDCC, but it is popular and a huge anniversary.

I'm really dropping the ball on events, too, this year. Gah!

Good luck! It's so much better when you can split the cost of the hotel with others. Hopefully the next few weeks will be kind of us, haha

Only 3 hotels on the OnPeak site available.

One of which is the Wyndham Bayside, which can't be reserved.

This is looking grim. Let's hope the next few weeks has some positive movement.

I was wondering how that Wyndham lasted there so long.

Just because it was just now announced doesn't mean they just now decided that.  Most likely they knew they weren't going and didn't book anything to start with.

Some people DO attend cons for one thing and one thing only.  I am not one of them.  I have varied interests and wouldn't cancel an entire trip because one property wasn't attending.  But single minded ultra focused fans exist.  Don't think it'll make a dent in hotels, but they are out there.

While I usually live for the Marvel panels I have been when they didn’t attend and when I couldn’t get in and each time found new and wonderful things to experience. There’s just too much for people to focus on one thing. So I’m with you on not attending for one thing

When you click on the link for the hotel, the price says $389 for some reason. Must be a typo.

I was so tempted to take it. But already having a downtown hotel (Westin non-gaslamp), I would have only saved ~5 min walk, and with no Wed available, it was kind of a no-go for me. If wed was available I might have jumped on it. Hopefully something else pops up.

(I know some friends still looking so I could have offloaded my original one without losing my deposit).

Has anyone confirmed if dropped hotels get returned immediately to the inventory? I was under the impression that they don't... especially for the "big hotels". If that is the case, we may have one big drop still to come.

That being said, you should at least have a backup booked.

Has anyone just called onPeak to ask? lol.

Most hotel rooms showed up in inventory as soon as they have been dropped.  A couple people could not see theirs after they dropped them, but it is possible they just got booked by someone else right away.

Checkout booking.com - they have some smaller motels on the outskirts of downtown and Coronado, and a good majority of them are fully refundable.

If you go on hotels or booking.com, you can see some hotels available at markups at various dates

Hard Rock has 5 rooms on Wednesday and Saturday.  Hilton Gaslamp and Solomar has at least 8 rooms on all days at majorly marked up prices.

It was for a group of friends who had a reservation at the Sofia and wanted to join the rest of our group at the HBF.

That being said, I still highly recommend any waitlist warriors book something. OnPeak has absolutely no consistency to rely on.

I can clearly see 5+ rooms available Thursday-Monday.

There were consecutive nights Thursday to Sunday early on that I saw. Didn't make a note of how many per night available but it was more than 2.

The Guild [0.9mi], one of the new downtown hotels, dropped a grouping of rooms. They're all single bed though. All nights con nights.

I think they are a 4 night minimum stay though if you want the lowest price per night.

This new hotel is in the building of the old YMCA and until a couple of years used to be an hostel named 500 West one block from the courthouse. The hostel had bunk bed rooms, single and double bed rooms but all the bathrooms were shared.

I almost booked the Hostel my first year at Comic Con (2015).  I missed the hotel sale (long story), and when I finally started looking at hotels, I started looking at downtown first (silly me).  The hostel had availability, and the price was a lot cheaper.  I almost bit, but I think the word Hostel turned me off.  I ended up at Humphreys Half Moon Suites, and am I glad I did.  It wasn't until later that I heard what the set up was.  I would not have been happy there.

There is a "new" large hotel coming to the convention center.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that 200 low income people are getting evicted to make it happen.  Many will likely end up being homeless.

I love hostels.  So do many people.  That's why some hostels cost more than hotels.  They have that cool factor.  Thus the hostel can charge more.  The hotel I stay at in Tokyo is cheaper than staying in a hostel.  They aren't necessarily what people think.  It's not just a big smelly dorm room filled with bunk beds.  They can be if that's your jam.  Many are fairly decent hotel like experiences.  I always get a private room but I don't care if it's a private or shared bathroom.  Many pensions in Europe are shared bathroom as are many older hotels in the US.  Many hostels can be pretty much like pretty decent hotels.  Go to some in Germany, New Zealand or China and if they didn't say "hostel" in the name you would never know.  I've even been in a hostel in Buenos Aires that had room service.  A lot of people on business trips stay in hostels now.  You seem them leaving in the morning wearing suits.  So what's the real difference?  The social aspect.  People that stay in hotels rarely interact.  They keep to themselves.  People in hostels are more social.  That's why they are staying in hostels.  The common areas are key to facilitate this.  Be that a kitchen or a TV room.  It's easy to meet people.  Unfortunately some hostels, particularly in China, have done away with the common room and replaced it with a bar.  Not the same.  So some once very social hostels have become dead like hotels.  That's what I like about the hotel I stay at in Tokyo.  It's a hotel but they have a common room where people hang out.

Intercontinental up.  All days, 1 bed, water view.

Note that they have a 4 night min stay.

It's starting to feel like that they're slowly returning stuff to inventory, but they're going to attach 4 night min stays to all of them (or at least charge a higher rate for non-4 night stays).

Interesting, that could explain the slower process this year. Was Intercontinental not a min stay hotel in the general release?

I imagine these min. stay clauses will make it harder for people to add missed days to their reservations.

I don't remember seeing the 4 days min before for Intercontinenal, so I think that's a new one.

Does suck for people looking to add on days, but at this point I think they're just trying to ensure that inventory does not go unused.

You know what else is weird, too? The "distance from the convention center" that the hotels have on their descriptions is off/not accurate. ???
For instance, it says the Hilton Gaslamp is .6 miles away.

Seems pretty accurate?  Though I was confused at first till I realized it was like the distance directly to the convention if you were a bird and could fly.

The Hilton Gaslamp is right across the street and on the hotel list originally provided by OnPeak it was listed as being .2 miles away. It's no big deal....I was just noticing that the distances listed now are different from the original list.

Google maps say 0.6 for driving, 0.3 for walking. I guess they just use driving distance for all the hotels listed.

I’m pretty sure the Intercontinental has always had a lower 4 night min stay rate.

I was thinking that the lack of hotel rooms was something keeping people from up-bidding the SDCC badges up for auction...and then this new hotel popped up. Certainly adds a new wrinkle and a new possibility for attending.

Check TripAdvisor and Yelp. It’s supposed to be a 5-star brand...but the Yelp reviews suggest that this one is not off to a good start. The TripAdvisor reviews are slightly more flattering...slightly being the key word.

Those days are broken up but Yeah trying for Gaslamp or closer lol. My cousin is coming from Seattle and it’s his first time ever and it’s also the first for my wife. She couldn’t go the first year I’ve got back in and every year since I’ve pulled during pre reg. This is the first year we got them in during open reg so I’m just hoping to be able to be in the thick of it all for them. Especially with the shuttles not running 24 hrs this year.

They definitely were missing from the hotel list this year. No clue as to why, speculation was that they were booked by a company.

Eitherway, $369 is a... brave price... for the Bristol.

Well, Motel 6 is charging $440 a night.  At least the Bristol's rooms look like they get cleaned. 

Hotels.com shows only 7 rooms available those nights.  Maybe those were personnel cancellations. 

I took a look at the availability of some rooms on hotels.com and booking.com (where prices are much higher than OnPeak):

For all days
Hilton Gaslamp and MGH 30+
Indigo 18
Residence Inn Downtown Bayfront ~10

Saturday Night
Hard Rock - 5
HBF - 8+

Pure speculation here, but...

The closer we get to the con, if the hotels don't get reservations for those rooms, they might 'release' them to On-Peak for a 'lower' price.

Maybe an opportunity for those who have 'Nerves of Steel" .    :)

Post by: rabbitwarren on June 18, 2019, 11:06:11 AM
Surprisingly HBF is booked except for Saturday.  They are one of the hotels that always has high priced rooms outside of OnPeak

I think so as well, especially considering MGH still looks like it has a huge grip of empty rooms available on third-party sites and we've yet to see one of the late minute "drops" that have happened in the past.

That being said, with the steady stream of badge sales from CCI themselves, hotels may not need to be as competitive as they had been in the past years. I got stuck on waitlist duty for someone in my group (again) that didn't get an ideal placement but I'm not sure if I can handle the eternal refreshing much longer.

MGH has been notoriously anti-SDCC in the past including even going so far as to book a totally different high profile convention the same weekend as SDCC in 2010 or 2011 to keep SDCC attendees from staying there. I wouldn't fully bank on them just dumping back into onpeak if it's being advertised elsewhere.

Back in 2014 the Comfort Inn was going for $400/night.  These non-block hotels really do enjoy taking advantage lol

Does anyone remember checking the third-party sites like one-week out before the con? I figure at some points the hotels will want to book rooms and offer more competitive pricing but maybe thats not even on their agenda? I've noticed hotels like the pineapple hotel (Hotel Z?) already dropping prices as the date nears.

They tend to stay at their really high prices sadly, but sometimes you can get lucky.  One year my sister got MMM for one night for like 375, she only had one day so it worked out for her but that wasn't too bad compared to how much they can charge.

I really doubt any of the hotels will dump rooms they haven't already allocated to the block into OnPeak. There's no incentive for them to do so - they might as well just keep them on their own sites and third-party sites and drop the prices slowly if they're not getting the rooms sold. The number of rooms they have to give to the block and how much they can charge for them is a major point of friction between the hotels and CCI, so "giving" extra rooms to the block would undermine their negotiations next time the deal expires.

They won't drop it.  Hotels and airlines, if anything, tend to charge higher for last minute purchases.  It's for the business people who absolutely have to be in the area and who have corporate amexes that can help them pay the premium.

I've actually seen hotels go down in price right before the date fairly often. There have been times when I've had to cancel/rebook a reservation right before the date of travel for this reason. For SDCC though...not going to happen.

For airlines...I find that they constantly go up and down in price until about 2-4 weeks beforehand. After that they only go up.

I remember once I had to the Ohio State-Michigan game at the very last minute.  I think the cheapest hotel I could find was a motel that was charging $300 a night.

Yep, it's entirely due to supply and demand. If they need to book more rooms, they'll lower the price. If they don't need to, then they'll raise it. A few years ago, I booked a last minute getaway to Sonoma county one weekend and got a killer deal ($169/night for a hotel that was normally going for $300/night.)

I was fully committed to that this year but panicked when watching the waitlist and refreshing after the first deadline. Grabbed the first room I could get with two beds for peace of mind. If I’m able to get anything now not in MV I’ll consider it lucky but I know not having a room has to be stressful

They definitely were missing from the hotel list this year. No clue as to why, speculation was that they were booked by a company.

Eitherway, $369 is a... brave price... for the Bristol.

For not being on the block, that doesn't sound unreasonable to me at all for a low end well-kept downtown hotel.

In the grand scheme of everything, it's really not an unreasonable price at all. I normally stay for the entire week when possible, so I always multiply the rate by 7 and internally scoff at the sum.

The entire hotel scenario really has me jaded this year though, most likely fueled by being a waitlist warrior for a my friends group.

fashion as they were in previous years. I’m sure it’s happened a few times where the drops have been instantaneous but it’s kind of hard to believe that among the hawks on this thread alone we’ve seen so few pop up.

I just think the return process has changed this year.

I actually see a top 7

MMM, HBF, HR and Omni are the top 4 for both quality and proximity. 

Hilton and Marriott Gaslamps are slightly lower in terms of quality but great location nonetheless.

MGH is a little farther but great quality.

I agree about MGH! I did really enjoy my stay though so it's a top 5 for me. But ngl, it still felt ages away from the CC after a long day.

I really struggled seeing the Horton staring me in the face, but couldn't in good conscious relinquish two days of deposit. The only hotel that I would have considered doing that for would have been the Omni, which was by far and away my favorite SDCC hotel. Everything about that hotel was perfect from the location to the customer service.

It couldn’t be full deposit because we’d still be staying one night. So essentially we’d just eat one night because we wouldn’t be staying two nights. Doesn’t matter. We’re keeping the original reservation for the two nights so we can transfer hotels on our time and not have to pack up and move after one night.

We’re just keeping the room for two nights. We have to stay there on Wednesday anyways and this way we can not have to deal with checking out since it’s in mission valley and can come back and grab stuff to move everything to the Hilton after con that day. Less fuss overall. Even the wife thought it was the better idea and she’s the number cruncher lol

No one knows, no one even expected this the way things were going.

Residence Inn was tempting, almost prefer it over MGH/Hard Rock and a few others of the popular ones.

Really? Never stayed there. I noticed a lot of folks actually had it as a first choice. I feel like I should start giving some of these other hotels a shot in coming years, just to see how they are.

Subjective of course. I think it’s a good value for the space and the “suite” features. And if I can save near $500 (for full week reservation) by walking an extra block for the week, sign me up.

I was able to get into the Hotel Indigo (double occupancy, two queen beds). I stayed there once before - super clean, great staff, a brewery across the street, etc. It's the only time I've seen that hotel pop up in the past month and I've been religiously checking the site.

Last time, I randomly ran into some cast members from the tv show Vikings and we had a lively discussion about Pokemon (of all things :D) in the elevator. I later saw them again at the hotel bar and was waved at, which really confused some of the other con-goers sitting around. Haha.

I was able to get into the Hotel Indigo (double occupancy, two queen beds). I stayed there once before - super clean, great staff, a brewery across the street, etc. It's the only time I've seen that hotel pop up in the past month and I've been religiously checking the site.

Last time, I randomly ran into some cast members from the tv show Vikings and we had a lively discussion about Pokemon (of all things :D) in the elevator. I later saw them again at the hotel bar and was waved at, which really confused some of the other con-goers sitting around. Haha.

I've stayed at the Indigo many times.  I like it.  One trick is that if you are headed to Hall H or the Indigo Ballroom from the hotel, take the bridge on the other side of the baseball stadium.  It's faster.

For future waitlist warriors in 2020; a good size drop happened on Wednesday, June 26th 2019 - 21 days before the convention. A solid handful of Gaslamp Hotels and two wild Hard Rock's appeared.

Ah, I meant the MMM. My bad. Was curious how long it was actually up for Friday.

Anyway, might just settle with a random downtown hotel at this point. I kind of messed up big today sleeping through the alarm I set, thinking nothing huge would drop. Haha.

Good luck to all still looking!

Bummer. Well, according to an OnPeak rep I spoke to today, they're transferring the reservations to the hotels tomorrow. No wonder there were so many big hotels.

Is there any activity that happens after the reservations go to the hotels?

Do you mind sharing what you mean by “the waitlist closing?”  The onpeak site? Or is there still a “waitlist” that they are offering rooms to? I believe I was supposedly on the waitlist but I have never been offered a room.

The rooms on the onpeak site are the waitlist rooms. For a period of time it was only open to those who were on the waitlist. It’s been open to everyone for awhile now

I assume the page for accessing the hotels via OnPeak would not be available anymore. I was also on the waitlist with no offer. We didn't get offered a room in the first or second wave, but were given access to the hotel page earlier than the general public.

I know this is probably a stupid question but I want to make sure someone would be willing before I add ANOTHER hotel to my credit card. The deposit is 703.54 and the estimated total would be 1055.31 for the weekend.

random though i had for the future (if I go next year), does anyone know if it is much easier to get a downtown hotel from the initial sale if you pick 1 bed? like say that if you don't get in by 1 minute after the sale you won't get your hotel, but if you pick 1 bed then maybe you could get in 2-3 min after the sale starts and get something. (these are made up numbers).

i'm starting to be in the feel that I rather just get 1 bed and pay the increased cost than try to get 2 beds.

Word is that your chances are better if you choose 1 bed, how much does it improves? who knows, I put the one bed option and got in close to the 1 minute mark  (few secs later maybe) and got the email saying I got MGH like 2 hours after they started sending emails

I do not have data to back this up, but based on observation it will be better.  There are fewer single beds in most hotels, but cons attract a lot of people splitting rooms.  Again, no data, but it feels like there are far more groups going to cons than solo travelers in other situations.    So basically, your competition is way less in this situation. 

Some enterprising person who likes data should gather info on this so we have solid numbers. Because... this is what we do. We nerds of SDCC.

In previous years, it seemed that choosing a single bed have me a better shot. I'd request a king while my sister would request a double with us accessing the site around the same time. I would get the Marriott while she would get a 6th choice or waitlisted.

They explicitly say choosing one bed gives you a better shot at your top choice.

I guess the question then is at what point you get in should you just go for a single?

I'm thinking that for the future I may just go for 1 bed and maybe fit in 3 people. Cost per person would go up, but I rather pay a little more than having to F5 constantly just to get a decent hotel.

My friends stay at the Springhill Suites every year and love it - if people are sleeping in their group, they don't have to worry about bothering them. One year they also brought their toddler, so having a suite was a big help.

I talked to a rep yesterday who said hotels were being transferred today. But it might just be some.

I really don't want the SDCC block page to close yet, since there's one reservation at MMM I'm trying to fill in for my group. Really need that Wednesday and Friday... Haha

Someone really needs to update the distance to the convention center on OnPeak's page. Solamar is not a mile away. The Omni is not 1.20 miles away and Hilton Gas Lamp is not 0.60 miles away. Those hotels are almost across the street for crying out loud.

I believe the onPeak site becomes unavailable and all changes for reservations will have to be done directly through the hotel.

It looks like OnPeak has begun the official process to transfer the reservations to the individual hotels.

The Waitlist page will soon have hotels back up, but the prices will NOT be the Comic Con rate. You will see rates dictated by the individual properties anywhere from $300 - $1200.

Lol!

I think today may have been an private deadline. The site said last day for changes would be on 7/7, and with next week being a short holiday week, I imagine they'll spend all that time transferring things over. If you have any business with OnPeak (transfers/room adjustments/day adjustments) it seems like time may be of the essence.

Maybe up to 3 king bed rooms are available at The Grant for all nights Wed  - Mon. I wonder if there erroneous "1.7 miles" with the $324/nt price tag  is scaring people off?

If you need to add on a Sunday night at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, there are rooms available directly at Hyatt's website ... rates are their normal.  I did looks to see if rooms were available for Wednesday (July 17th) night.  Some listed there, but the rates are double the OnPeak rate.  Happy I have the room situation settled.  Appreciate all the updates during the last few weeks.  It helped greatly!

The direct book rooms are probably refundable until the week of con. Just do it, and you can cancel if you get something through OnPeak.

No they’re non refundable... I’ve held off because of that. Basically $300 more than onpeak... but I’m thinking I could use that $300 for something else... think I’ll hold off til monday  :-0

The rates that pop up for me are in line with OnPeak for Sunday. $248 plus $60 in taxes and destination fees bringing the total to $306 on the site.

Are you arriving in before Wednesday? Do you have MGH on like Tuesday, but no Wednesday, then Th-Fr-Sat-Sun?

If Wednesday is your first night in town, I would look for a single Wednesday night space at a Gaslamp hotel or somewhere near the MGH and do the hotel shuffle Thursday morning. Or at least secure a reservation independently then stalk OnPeak's site. Moving hotels after the first night is much easier than mid-con, you won't have as much stuff to transport and it'd be easy to get settled in on the second day at the hotel.

Just curious at this point, are all the hotel dumps likely over? What with this being the week of transfers and it also being a short work week due to the holidays.

Following it for this long, I kind of just want to see how it ends for reference for next year. Haha

I wonder if they're going to leave the waitlist site up and remove hotels gradually.

It seems like Hilton Gaslamp is also being transferred over. I wonder why they took MMM off. Can't tell what other hotels are missing now.

I e-mailed one of the hotels and they said onPeak had control of the block until the end of the week. I'd assume until Friday if they're not closed that day?

Anyone had success transferring rooms post-hotel transfer?

I found these instructions on the other thread and was just wondering if we should just call the hotel directly at this point:

Quote
Now, this generally requires a 3-way phone call with the transferee and the transferer WITH OP, so exchange the information, so that you can get it all transferred at once. NOW, someone confirmed that this year OP won't, at all, let you change the card on file AND refund the amount to charge the new card. It has been done previously, but it's not working anymore. This way, you can ensure that the room gets transferred if you make payment to take it over.

Make sure the transferee (new holder) changes the email and password associated with the reservation. That way you know you have control over it now, and no one can accidentally log-in to it.

If you can no longer edit your reservation through OnPeak, you will have to call the hotel directly. The hotel nor OnPeak is going to give any refunds, so make sure the deposit payment is handled between the transferer and the transferee beforehand.

You can either 3-way call OR put the new person's name on the reservation and then they can call the hotel to update their credit card, billing address, and email.

If you booked more than 2 nights, then it won't affect losing out any monies on the deposit. Just call up the hotel and shorten your reservation.

Fair warning, MMM was a trip and a half to get my reservation shortened. When you call, press 3 for the operator, make sure to ask to speak with “Group housing” and they will be able to do it. Don’t have them transfer you to Central Booking/Reservations.

Group Housing deals with Comic Con reservations and can change things around.
