Just curious, do you know if Courtyard Marriott Downtown has enough room for a rollaway bed?
Hotel luck stories:Waaaaay back in 2009, I had a room booked at MMM direct for the outrageous price of $300 per night. But about a month before the con, I was on Travelocity and saw the HBF listed for under $200 per night. I was so excited and snapped it up! I went solo that year, so I was covering the entire hotel bill, so saving more than $100 per night felt great! I knew I was lucky, but I can't even imagine now a close hotel having availability and being listed on Travelocity a month before the con!Then a few years ago, there was the Hotwire mess, where a bunch of us booked prepaid rooms at the Omni, and then Omni cancelled them 2 months later. Hotwire was amazing, and helped us all get rooms at other hotels that satisfied us. In my case, Hotwire paid over $1,000 per night for me to stay at HBF and didn't charge me any more than I had already paid through their site for Omni. THAT was serious luck (although also serious stress that year) and I know that will never happen again.
[member=4314]accelerate[/member] If the friend keeping the room is able to add her own name as an occupant, and she doesn't mind the other friend's name also being on the reservation, then you don't need to involve OnPeak. But if the friend who will actually use the room can't get her name added on the website, she'll probably want to call and do that at some point. (She can put down the deposit online first anyway, though, as long as she trusts friend 1 not to go in and change anything.)
Thanks! The tranferer and transferee are all part of the same extended group of friends who regularly go to SDCC, so there is mutual trust involved. Okay, I'll tell the transferer to just give email/password to transferee, have the transferee make deposit and try to add his own name. And if not possible, then the transferee should call OnPeak.
Was looking online for info about the Pendry. One interesting thing that comes up is a review on tripadvisor from last year's SDCC by a VP of Communications for CBS. The only other review during those days is from someone else that mentions their "team."
Battling the post con blues by starting the thread for next year. Any hotel stalkers find some decent backup options?Don't forget those hotel reviews!
Would to hotels care if wether or not how many people stay in the room? I know prices would usually go up a bit when the number of occupants increases, but the sdcc hotel prices are set regardless.We have some late additions and went from 5 (2 kids) occupants to 7 (3 kids). Anyone ever roomshare with way too many people? How much is too much for a standard room because I'm thinking anything over 5 is alot.
To add to the above, you _may_ be able to get away with requesting extra hotel card keys. Every year, they have special SDCC card keys at most hotels. I like to collect them all, so I will always ask the hotel if I can have the full set. Sometimes they will, sometimes they'll give me just one extra, and sometimes they won't, BUT they'll say when I check out, I can have the full set then. I have the full set of SDCC hotel keys from at least the past 5 years.
