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 :)

Wow, good for ya that your man got online. My friend and I waited for over two hours trying to book online and never could - the Comic Con hotel reservation system sucks as per usual. Fortunately, my friends had already booked a hotel about eight blocks away yesterday - a bit steep in price, but a hotel room's a hotel room at Comic Con. Plus, we can always cancel later if needed.

Aw that sucks. We were "waiting" in the system for about an hour before we finally got pushed through to the reservation screen and were on hold on the phone too in case we got through that way first. I guess we just got lucky.

Eight blocks away isn't bad at all, though. That's close enough that you probably could walk or at least not have to wait long for a shuttle.

This is gonna be fun :)

No, eight blocks away isn't bad. We were ten blocks away last year and walked most days, especially on Saturday when ya gotta get in line in the wee hours of the morning to get a good seat for whatever panel you're attending.

Let the fun commence! :D
