Also, I know it's downtown Seattle, but yowza. Did you guys try for that Holiday Inn on 6th Ave, They're not as super-nice, but usually can be talked down to decent rates.
(edit: look at me, 5 minutes in and I'm already complaining, time to start reserving rooms...)
Thanks, Khoo
I would also like to take this opportunity to announce the 2nd Annual Party at Sealab Party...
Everybody, reserve your rooms at the Crowne Plaza for extra awesomeness.
Are we going to have to pay for parking?
I wish it wasn't a slap in the face, and it is in no way meant to be- but if you want to stay close to the venue those are some of your options.
As far as occupancy goes, these prices are for "double" occupancy, and i believe you still have to pay for parking as it is downtown Seattle.
It really is too bad there isn't any suites available for parties or something like that. And ya, Im not suprised this happened either. I knew from last year and looking at hotel prices that seattle would be steep as far as hotels.
this price is before hotel tax?
Regardless, I've reserved a room at the Crowne Plaza already.
Reserved a room at the Sheraton, and really, really hoping they won't care too much if I have a couple people in sleeping bags on the floor.
It sounds like theres a 4 person limit. Rumor I heard is they are wise to room sharing/stuffing
How much is your place running?
besides, it's too far away.

Does anyone here know how the Sheraton and Crowne stack up against one another quality wise (Khoo perhaps)?
Legacy: Are you planning on rooming or are you looking at daily travel to and from your place in kirkland (I think it's kirkland)?
1. The Sheraton is nicer than the Crowne Plaza, but not by much. They're nice hotels and are both better than the Doubletree/Hilton in Bellevue in my opinion.
2. If you do plan on using the AAA rate, please do so if you're really saving money. If it's the same price, I really urge you to use the PAX rate. The way it works was the only way we were able to secure these rates was to, in short, guarantee we would have our attendees pick up X # of rooms. So if it's about saving dough, awesome- i completely understand, but if it nets out to be the same price, please reconsider.
3. The prices on the website are not inclusive of tax.
Yes everyone is going to have to pay for parking.
Which really hurts if you are parking at the hotel or WSCTC.
at the hotel its anywhere between $25 and $28 a day. At the WSCTC Its $24 a day.
I highly recommend you park a block away or so at one of the many parking structures around seattle.
I can't do that, Dave.
As for the hotels being swapped, hammer refresh and it should fix.
I'm planning on rooming. I don't have a vehicle and wouldn't want to travel back and forth really...
Not to mention you'd miss out on all the great after hours insanity.
Exactly.
If not, who's up for some room-sharing?
lawl
any hotel price you see quoted is per night
No.
I'll be grabbing 2 rooms likely (since the headcount limit per room will be stricter, and I think there's already 4 in my room), so if you want I can put you on the namelist for one.
[EDIT]Scratch that...possibly 3 rooms now. :O
I really really need to know if the headcount limit is going to strictly enforced or anything, because getting 3 rooms when I could potentially split between 2 would suck.[/EDIT]
