Hotel stay (2 nights, 3 days) in San Diego during SDCC

Hello all,

I booked some nonrefundable hotel rooms for SDCC (San Diego Comic Con), but unfortunately cannot make it now.

It’s only a 8 min walk from the San Diego Convention Center. Will transfer the name to whomever needs it.

The booking is for Friday July 21st — Sunday July 23rd. 2 nights, Studio Suite. 1 Full Bed. Non smoking. In Gaslamp area.

I paid $210 USD for these two nights. Happy to let them go for $200 USD.

I’m sure most (if not all) of the hotels are booked out by now. (Or more expensive)

I’ve also already confirmed with the hotel that the name transfer is allowed.

Please let me know via messages. Will accept paypal. If you need verification on who I am etc. I'm happy to supply details.

The hotel sale is tomorrow.  No one will want to take your hotel until they know what they will get then you will need to be an active forum member to post it in the hotel exchange.

Does anyone know how much time we get to fill the form out and submit?

They say it is when you get in not when you hit submit.   SO take your time but I still wouldn't take 20 mins to fill it out.  I would get paranoid I was taking to long.

lol, yes that was me. I had totally forgotten about that :) The coda would have to be that the gods of the sale gave us Town and Country, so we abandoned the hunt and went AirBNB.

so I shouldn't list T&C as a non DT list? was reading the horrible reviews from just other ppl this year
 so far it looks like just Doubletree and Marriot MV closest to trolley but also the furthest

Please forgive me but I am totally confused. Do you have to choose 1 of the 4 choices if your room is unavailable if you choose waitlist me? I was going to put book me at room closest to the convention center regardless of rate(due to my knee) and waitlist or can I just choose waitlist or should I ? I get nervous checking regardless of rate, but need to be near the con cause of my injury.

Also, do you have more of a shot at a top tier hotel if you choose 1bed instead of 2 queens? Also, will choosing 2 rooms as opposed to 1 lessen your chance? Thanks :) .

all of those questions are really personal choice- and it's really what you feel comfortable with. I will say if you do get an expensive suite somewhere, it's likely that you can trade it.
I have found that 1bed rooms seem to be easier to get but...
i will choose wait list

bottom line- it's your choice

Anyone personally have success getting a reservation by calling rather than using the online option? Know anyone who has? Just curious.

Hi everyone

This is our first year at SDCC and we're coming from the UK.  We held a (refundable) booking at Days Inn And Suites San Diego Near Sea World which we got for 5 nights for just under $500 total.  Googlemaps tells me that it's a relatively easy journey of 30 - 40 mins to the convention centre, but I haven't seen this hotel mentioned anywhere and I can't see any reviews from people who have stayed there during SDCC and it seems remarkably cheap!  Is Googlemaps correct and it's an easy journey or are we making a mistake by staying there? I know there's some walking involved but neither of us have any problem with that. 

Any advice you can give would be great.  Thanks, and good luck in the hotel draw later :)

i don't mind clean 2 star hotels- my concern would be in how to travel back & forth. Do you have a rental car? is there public transportation?
while i in general don't mind walking- i would recommend planing on making it as easy on yourselves as possible- aside from the physical issues there is the amount of time it takes to walk somewhere.

Anyone else's stomach in knots this morning? I feel like I can't be productive at all until this morning is over...

Right there with you.  Asking all my co workers and friends to send positive vibes my way.
