I've stayed at Hotel Circle before, it's been a while though but I doubt much has changed about it from my experience. I love being in the Gaslamp, of course, but it's not bad at all. Depending on where you are in the hotel shuttle order, it could possibly be "worse." If you're staying there, I'd look at the shuttle list in advance and determine where you are in the order and plan according. For instance, my hotel was the last stop before it went straight to the Convention Center. That meant I was on the shuttle and the trip was significantly less than some people who had gotten on earlier. So I didn't need to plan as much how early I needed to be to make sure I got there when I wanted. That also meant that I was the last in the order in terms of going from the convention center to my hotel. I personally didn't mind the like 2x length of time to get back in comparison to getting to the center, because I was usually exhausted anyway so it didn't matter too much to me.We had cars with us too, so we were able to hop over to restaurants etc. and there were also restaurants around the hotels too. (Mine had one like 20 feet from our room and it was actually really good.) But you might want to look into whether your Hotel Circle hotel has free parking or paid parking (and if they guarantee at least 1 parking spot per room.) Mine did that year, not sure if that's changed, so it was easy.
Well right now im at an impass we have a reservation at Quality inn Downtown North . Its not perfect but its downtown and includes breakfast. Today i made a res. For Doubletree in Hotel Circle w/ breakfast and parking.We'll have a car and we already have parking reserved for near the convention center. So right now just trying to debate whether i should keep doubltree or quality inn . . . Ugggg hotels are the worst part of Sdcc reservations. Its my first time going so i need good advice
[member=5681]sessionka[/member] That shows up every year and I don't think it's ever been confirmed that it's overbooking or what it really is. I don't think anyone's ever ran into an issue with them overbooking for a room if you got it through the official lottery. At least, not that I know of.(btw I believe you accidentally put your question "What does a minus number mean in the inventory. Are they overbooking?" inside the quoted section. It has definitely happened to me before lol Particularly, I find, if you add the quote from the reply page.)
Actually, not to be a downer, but I have heard stories in the past years of people who had confirmed reservations downtown who showed up and was told that the hotel was overbooked and they had run out of rooms. And then they've been shunted to something out of downtown. However, the few stories I have heard like this all involved people who arrived late Thursday or on Friday. So as long as you're checking in by Wednesday evening, I don't think that's an issue.
noob question: What does "Hotel Circle" mean?
For people who are staying in Mission Valley, do you all usually just take the shuttle or rent a car? I think I'd like to avoid renting a car but if that's the best route to take, I may just do that.
