    Hotel: Sheraton Seattle Hotel & Towers
    Total Cost: 254.32 (per spot)
    Date Arriving: 09/02 (Thursday)
    Date Leaving: 09/06 (Monday)
    Number of Spots Available: [strike]2[/strike] [strike]1[/strike] 0
    Additional Notes/Requests: I'm arriving and leaving with the CCST.
    My Gender: Male
    Your Gender: Male
    Best Contact Method: Forum PM will get my attention very quickly.

    To recap, I've booked a double double at the Sheraton and I'm looking for two people to share it with, preferably people who plan on staying all 4 nights. I'd prefer to share it with people who value a good night's sleep, so I don't intend on throwing any parties, though I certainly don't mind attending them or if you do.

    Update: I've found one guy already, so I need one more guy. As a clarification, the room has two beds and we'll obtain extra pillows and blankets for a third person to sleep either on the floor or in the chair. This floor/chair position is up for rotation on a nightly basis so nobody gets screwed and everyone pays an equal share.

    Look forward to hearing from you!

    Update 2: At this point, it looks like I'm full up.

    Date Arriving: Sept 2
    Date Leaving: Sept 6
    Spots Needed: 2
    Additional Notes: 20's Couple looking for a room where we could preferably have a bed. We won't be loud or partying too much as I'm pregnant and mostly looking to play games and sleep. This will be our second PAX and we love it. We're hopefully looking to pay $200 or less for the weekend for the two of us, but that may be wishful thinking, and we're open to paying more if it means more comfort. We like video games (Gears of War is our favorite to play together), RPGs (I run a Warhammer FRPG and he's starting up a 3rd ed campaign to try it out), and board games.

    My girlfriend and I (both late 20s) are going up to PAX on the West Coast Train Trip and have extra space in our room.

    We're primarily going to be using the room for sleeping. Neither of us drink and nights are best spent going to concerts or getting in even more gaming.

    Date Arriving: 9/2/2010

    Your Gender: Doesn't matter
    Best Contact Method: pm me please and we can go from there.

    Me and my buddy (22yo and 21yo) really want to go again but our other two friends from last year can't make it this year. I went ahead and booked the hotel anyways and now we are looking for two to share the room with. We will probably only get two keys for the room to share amongst each group.

    We won't go if we don't find two others because it would be too expensive for just us. Let me know! :)

    Not that I'm saying it's guaranteed but it probably wouldn't be that difficult to get more than 2 keys even though it's supposed to only be for 2 people. I haven't done it myself but I know a lot of people have gotten 4+ keys on a double occupancy room.

    Hi I lost my key can I get another? In fact can I just get 2 for when my friend inevitably loses his?

    Ya.. but I wasn't sure because when picking the hotel it said double, triple and quad occupany for two double bed. Each one was more expensive then the other. Last year we got a double occupancy 1 bed for four and didn't get in trouble?

    Well you can't get in trouble if they don't know :)

    Although, I imagine most of the hotels are quite aware that people are cramming rooms full, they probably just don't care enough or something. Most people just leave the do not disturb sign on the whole weekend.

    I've generally just figured hotels don't care so long as you don't A.) Trash the room B.) Make too much noise and C.) Violate some kinda fire code.

    Most hotels will give you the room keys/vin card according to the allowed number of occupancy for each room. If you need further keys (lost your key), they usually just give you a new one with no charge once they verified with an ID, that you are the registered occupant of the room. It really depends on the policy of the hotel you are staying with.

    Just popping in to say that, while 1 or 2 extra should be fine, don't try what my group did at PAX East and fit 9 people in a 2 bed room especially when one was 6'10". It just doesn't work.

    However, the hotel we had was totally cool with it. There's no way they couldn't have known but they didn't boot us out. Just don't be dicks about it and you should be fine.

    I've found that if you tell the hotel you've lost your key and need another, or left it in the room or whatever, they void out the missing key when they give you a replacement. So you still only have two keys.

    Just be upfront about it and ask for multiple keys.
