Comic Con hotel upgrade!

[roxybisquaint]

The discounted hotel rates went into effect today for Comic Con and we managed to claw our way through the online frenzy to get one. Now instead of staying at the Comfort Inn Gaslamp 6 or 7 blocks away, we're booked at the Hilton Bayfront which is right next door to the Convention Center. And the real beauty of it is that the discounted price was $70/night CHEAPER than the Comfort Inn we were going to be staying at. Also, it looks like a pretty sweet hotel.

The man gets all the credit. I forgot all about Comic Con hotels being available today, but he remembered and came home on his lunch hour so we could try to get one. Success :)

$100/night is AWESOME. I'm surprised anywhere was that reasonably priced during Comic Con. The Hilton is $265/night. Not exactly cheap, but we didn't want to have to deal with transportation and we also wanted to be close enough that we could just go back to our room and chill for a bit if the crowds got overwhelming (I keep hearing how unbelievably crowded Comic Con is). So we traded cash for convenience.

We got a deal through sandiegohotels.com. Their actual rates were something like $139 for a couple days and then $156 for the weekend. Which is still not that bad.

Comic-Con is pretty crowded. Our hotel is close to a trolley stop, which is nice, but not walking distance!

Not walking distance, but only $115 for the whole week. Yay! *does the cheapskate dance with Sunil*

I'm glad you got one of the reserved hotels, roxy! (If I wasn't so excited just to be able to go, I would be totally jealous of walking distance hotels.) It sounds like it will be loads of fun.

It looks like we got a preeeeetty sweet deal! We even get free parking.

Although, man, I kind of want to stay in the Wonderful Room or the Spectacular Room.

Also, ha ha, Wikipedia tells me that in the UK, instead of Queen and King they have King and Super King.
