In the Early Bird, Doubletree is a great option too. It's located in Hazard Center with lots of restaurants, plus is right next to the Hazard Center trolley stop, gives free breakfast and free parking. And it's a lot nicer than Town and Country.
If I recall, wasn't the Doubletree the last pick up hotel on the shuttle route, meaning after you were picked up at the hotel, the bus took you straight to the convention center?
I couldn't find the shuttle map for 2016, but based on the 2015 one, yes the Doubletree Mission Valley is the last hotel, then straight to the convention center.
Doubltree is a decent brand. It's the Chevy for the Hilton chain.
I don't know about that. Free warm chocolate chip cookies on check-in is better than a Chevy to me!
I'm thinking of bringing my pet to SDCC this year. While I'm gone most of the day my mom goes back to the hotel room frequently so he wouldn't be alone all day and would be able to be taken out for bathroom breaks. I looked up the pet friendly hotels on the SDCC block but has anyone had any personal experience with bringing a pet to SDCC?
It's hard to argue with a warm cookie. I think of Chevy as a middle of the road (pun intended) brand. Hilton Garden Inn, Embassy Suites and Doubletree are the middle of the Hilton brand. They're a step up from Hampton Inn, but not quite a Hilton. Conrad and the Waldorf Astoria are their top of the line Cadillac brands. I stay in Hilton family hotels about 30 - 35 nights a year, and I've had a good experience at every level (Never been to the Waldorf though ). I think that early bird Doubletree is exactly the ticket. If I hadn't been spoiled by being downtown these last 5 years, I'd be all over that.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Here is the OP for the 2016 shuttle discussion. It has an image of the shuttle route (scroll down, and it's under a spoiler tag)You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginDoubletree was indeed the last stop on the Purple route.There was some mention in the reviews of this hotel of issues in 2012 or 2013 of issues with the shuttle being full, or not even making it to the hotel because it was full. They had to call and complain that 20-25 people were waiting, and an empty shuttle was sent. I hope they alleviated that in the following years.Link to reviews of this hotel (no reviews of a 2016 experience)You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Once you've experienced downtown its hard to go back.I stayed in Mission Valley back in 2007 & 2008. It was not a big deal to get parking downtown at the time. You just got there really early and parked at Petco Park parking.I see that Town & Country reservations outside of SDCC are also not cancel-able during SDCC dates

so do you guys think they'd do the hotel sale the tuesday after open reg? 4/11? the following Tuesday 4/18 is tax day, doesn't seem like they'd do it then. hopefully it's not in May! I'm anxious enough already with this late timeline.
