Don't forget there are 2 confirmation windows. If it does not happen this week there is a chance for next week.

Looks like they may be ignoring that choice difference now.

That would be an interesting statistic for [member=4270]mark[/member] to collect. Oh Mark.... ;)

This is my first year ever doing hotel lottery as my original reservation got cancelled due to a company's booking error and lies. I was very unhappy and sooooo stressed out as I've had a hotel a year before every year and paid very cheap rates... we're talking less than $400 for all nights and right on shuttle route! I have never stayed downtown during the convention due to prices and just thinking it was impossible to get a room  :(

This year I had no choice but to do hotel lottery, so I had no idea what to expect. I had to work the day of hotel lottery submissions too, so trying to submit while you're at work as a nurse, NOT easy!! I just needed a few minutes to submit my request and I was distracted like 5 times in the 5 minutes that I needed at work!  >:( Anyways, I did it on my phone, never saw a running man and got in right away! I filled out everything on the form, 6 downtown, 6 non downtown, clicked yes to booking on shuttle route and yes to waitlist. I didn't submit until 0905 and today I received an email at 0912 saying I received a hotel. I got my first choice of Omni!!! I'm so happy!! I will be paying 3 times what I normally pay... but this year, I was going to have to pay around there anyways due to booking errors so I'm sooooo happy that at least now it will be downtown!! I've stayed at the Omni before and LOVED it!! I have always wanted to stay downtown! Finally I do not have to lug around my swag alllll day and can come and go from my hotel room and the convention!!! My mom and brother who entered the room after I did have no received an email yet. Mom submitted around 0920 and brother 0945

To sum up up:
entered room time: never saw running man
submitted form: 0905
downtown requests: 6
non downtown requests: 6
waitlist: yes
email today confirm hotel: 0912
Hotel received: Omni -- my first choice!!

I am having a mini melt down.  I was in a meeting and I could see all of the notices coming through and I new the emails were starting to go out. I have now checked my email for the umpteenth time and still no word.  I got into the just before 9:01 and it took me a few minutes to submit.   :'( :'( :'(

I got SD Marriott Gaslamp Quarter!  Problem is they put me in a room with 1 king bed and I'm going with a female colleague so that will NOT fly with the wife... Anyone want to trade for a similarly close location but has a twin room (2 beds)?

I got my email and turns out I'll be staying downtown for the first time at the Marriott Marquis & Marina! I think I got into the form around 9:01am PST.

I got the Omni, my first choice (and where I've stayed for the last three years in a row)  ;D. Form access time was 9:00:36.

What was your first choice? Just curious what went so quickly.

Hilton Bayfront was my first choice. People got the form after me but still got the Hilton Bayfront. Not complaining just seems odd.

About time that hotel gets some love. Lol I really like it more vs Hilton Bayfront and MMM, but that's me.

And if anyone is wondering, I'm staying at the Hyatt. Happy about that.  :) It's also closer to the dinner meetup too!

I know right? We've only stayed at MGH in downtown. This will be our third time staying here and I wouldn't have it any other way. Love the huge pool and 2 jacuzzis. The lobby is marvelous.
