Well -- since the Gen Con 2011 launched with badge Pre-registration on Sunday, and the Housing Lottery opening yesterday (Tuesday), I wanted to start this thread.
I will be staying at the Hyatt (my second choice this year) again -- Wednesday - Sunday, but I was shooting for the Westin this year. Oh well. A room's a room -- right
Just out of curiosity - why is Westin your #1 choice? Isn't the Marriot Downtown also connected to the convention center and actually closer to the SWM end?
According to the Gen Con hotel guide, the Westin is cheaper this year at $178/night v. $189/night at the Hyatt or the new J.W. Marriott -- I was quoted $199/night, over the phone, by the Housing Bureau for the J.W. Marriott. Even the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown is $188/night.
You do the math. Don't forget to add 17% tax.
