PAX. PAX. PAX. Boom.
First time using AirBNB......
You can always add days as they are freed up after this massive land grab.
I managed to get Friday and Saturday, from this I will grow a mighty empire!
That's what I did last year. I have a room at the Hyatt, so I'm not super concerned about it. I prefer the Sheraton though, so if I can snag that over the next few weeks, I'll switch my reservation.

Pretty much same boat. I have a full reservation over at the Hyatt Olive 8, so I'm not in a bad position at all, but I do prefer the Sheraton, and to date I haven't really been unsuccessful scraping together a Sheraton room by PAX time, even slowly piecing one together a day at a time.

It's a decent hotel. There aren't really any of the hotels on the list that I would consider bad. For me, it's just been about the distance. The first year I went to PAX, I stayed in a hotel that was a 30 minute walk from the convention center. That's just not a trip you make more than once a day, so I ended up having to carry everything with me all day, which was unpleasant.
PAX. PAX. PAX. Boom.
Last year I did that, they really open up in August after exhibitors have finalized their hotels as well.
I quite like the Crowne Plaza. About a 5 minute walk from the convention center (depending on route), spacious rooms, and quieter since there's no PAX programming or meetups in it.
That hike back up the hill at the end of the day/night is a real pain in the ass though. Not as bad as the Renaissance, but still enough for me to want to avoid it whenever possible.
Yeah I stayed at the renaissance in 2016, rooms are nice, but the walk back up or through the free way park( wouldn't recommend doing at night) is no fun.
Yeah, the room was nice because I got sick before we even left PAX in 2014, so having separate rooms so my guy could watch TV and I could sleep was great, but that was around the time I had to start using a wheelchair, so the hills killed me.
I'd also like to throw it out there that what my country living ass considers a block and what the people of Seattle consider a block are so not the same thing.

The hot tub and steam room make ending days of walking around all the better!
Also being just 2 blocks from the convention center is just so nice to get up 30-35 minutes before doors and go, then at the end of the day it's all downhill walking to get back!

I noticed that this year with the Homewood, I wasn't able to reserve the usual number of days, had to bump it up before the system would allow it. I even tried to drop a day after the fact.
Did u get rooms through On Peak or hotel website? I looked at reserving a room direct through Hilton and they wanted me to book Thurs to Wed instead of Thurs to Tues at over $300 per night, can’t remember exact quote

I've got a room at the Hilton on 6th, though, so I'm good.
