PAX Hotels are now Live! All prices listed are PER NIGHT
Posts
Just as an example, here's mine. Reserved a 2 bed room with 2 people.
$169 per night + 26.36 taxes = $195.36 per night.

200$ with taxes is about 250$ I end up with about a 1,000$ bill split by 4 people at the sheraton last year.

any suggestions on something around the same distance aka walkable and sub $150 a night?

LOL thats funny
Its just not do-able. You might as well get the hotel rates. Go look around at what full price is. I'm almost certain it is close to the REC rate that the lesser hotels give out (for that area) But with bumbershoot going at the same time, BOOK NOW.

thats about the price the Crowne cost us last year, unless there is something else major going on that week i dont see why the rates would be laughably higher
http://www.slide.com/r/2HC4yV4S6D-oBSwfjH39cClwSkUiesLx?view=original
That having been said, the Days Inn was only around 100 a night for a single room last year. I think the regular price is around 130 without a pax discount. It's ~8 blocks to the convention center, definitely walkable.
edit: note that I entered 4 adults for 2 rooms in the search, so there shouldn't be any rollaway bed charges.
And apparently the Roosevelt is charging $205/night
Khoo, what are these hotels trying to pull?
EDIT: nevermind, apparently when you enter number of guests, it's PER ROOM, not the total number of people spread across whatever number of rooms you reserve. It would be nice if they specified that.
Putting in 4 adults automatically increases the price per night.
edit: I see what you're saying now. The reservation webpage is worded stupidly. I *believe* the # of guests field is per room, not per booking.
Yes, you tell them you have 2 people and then make sure all your sleeping bags/etc are put away nicely before housekeeping comes (or alternatively put up the "do not disturb" sign all weekend)
Because its downtown seattle...
The hotels in the core are all expensive. The PAX rate on all the hotels is the best you are going to find.
Theres also bumpershoot going on that weekend so... even the cheap hotels will have higher rates.
Moe: this was discussed last year
He booked 2 rooms and put 4 guests (2 people per room). But the "# of guests" field on the reservation form is apparantly "# of guests per room" and not "# of guests per booking". It's stupid wording on the hotel's part.
Ive always known that # of guests means # of guests per room...
im sure labor day weekend is a large factor too

?
The crowne is listed here as 150 per night (http://www.pennyarcadeexpo.com/hotels.php). Were you looking at it without the penny arcade rate?
The Days Inn is not nearly as nice as the sheraton or the crowne plaza. Also, Booking under the pax rate is important for pax itself. As in the city judges how well a convention is by the hotel rates.
I have to say, Not having to walk very far at the end of the night? Totally worth the extra $$$.

between the sheraton, the hyatt, and the roosevelt anyone have a personal recomendation?
i remember walking by the sharaton last year and it looked pretty nice
http://www.slide.com/r/2HC4yV4S6D-oBSwfjH39cClwSkUiesLx?view=original
I can say I like the Sheraton pool and spa. I can't comment on the Hyatt and the Roosevelt though.

Too bad we live in the THIRD DIMENSION.
How big is in CUBIC feet, and how much of that space isn't filled with furniture? We need to know how many bags of ball pit balls to bring.

5 people is pushing it. I've heard from fyrewulff that the floor is quite comfortable.

And what happens if you book for 2 but have 4 staying with you in the room?
http://prime.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/standard-action-the-webseries
Just make sure if you have people sleeping on the floor that they clean up their sleeping bags, etc, before housekeeping comes in. Don't make a huge "4-person" mess and they won't care.
Alternatively, you could probably leave the "do not disturb" sign up all weekend.

They are right, the hotel is adding the price of the rollaways to the reservation. The price I got was 219 before taxes.
219 - (25 x 2) = 169 (Pax rate)
I will just make the reservation for 2 then.
This can be locked now... or moved i suppose
http://prime.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/standard-action-the-webseries
At this point, I've booked into two places, but I'm really hoping the Hyatt opens up more room so that I can downgrade into a double room and cancel the other reservation. I don't know how many people I'm coming down yet, or how tight money will be.
Yup
The crazy thing about the sheraton pool is that is near the top. Which seems odd given if there was an earthquake or something. I guess it would all seep downwards.. hmm. Still seemed strange.
