We need one more staffer in our room. We need a female, because one of our roomies parents require that there be one more girl in the room besides her. Currently we have three people. All quite wierd most probably. One 17/m, one 18/f, and another 18/m. It may be required that the roomie be 18 with a credit, but that's not for sure yet until our rooming questions are answered.

Looking for a roommate to share with girls. Everyone is 18 and up. Male or female okay. Prefer someone who knows what Yaoi is and is comfortable with it. Not necessarily a fan, but not adverse to it.

Hey, I'm a 18/f staffer.  I'm looking for any other staffers who might have an extra space in their room-- I would really prefer to room with people around my age and with at least one other female.

However 2 of my friends are as well, so we were contemplating just getting a room if we found at least one more person who would want in; so if you need a room let me know.

Or if you've got space for me. :P

the hotel is only 90 if you join us for the whole time. no charge for parking for those who wish to drive, and the only money we expect is for the hotel cost and cot if you for some odd reason decide you can't sleep on the floor ro share a bed. (it's only 7 dollars I believe, and the cot is about as big as the beds..which is big! )

yes, to follow up with Tony's post regarding number of people in rooms. Our room is overbooked (meaning we have room for up to 3 more people! So no worries there. Still hoping for a message from some of you out there!

I'm 26/f staffer..  and in need of crash space.  I'm dead broke as well.  I'll be selling most of my anime and hope to have some money to pay a little bit.  

If there is hope, please somebody help me.  I'll end up sleeping in my car if I don't have a room.
Title: Re: Great Rooms, Awesome People!
Post by: Tony on May 05, 2006, 01:41:07 PM
This is for no one in particular, but it really needs to be stressed:

If your reservation is for X people, then there can only be X people in that room.

As far as I know, the most people you can put in a room is four.

Trying to put more than that into a room can get you kicked out of the hotel. It's happened before, and it's not something you want to happen in the middle of the con, now, do you?

Besides, there's some common sense reasons not to do so. Imagine if there were an earthquake, or a fire... would you want to push past 10 people to get out of the room? And if everyone is overfilling their rooms, you can imagine that the elevators, stairs, hot water, and internet are all going to be overused. Not to mention that the staff will be overtaxed - good luck getting fresh towels, or someone to unclog the toilet, or room service.

At the same time, it looks bad on Fanime when our members break the rules. A little bit here and there is to be expected, but when the hotels feel like Fanime and its members are scamming them, they'll make our lives more difficult by a) raising prices or b) kicking us out. We fans are stigmatized enough; we don't need to be labeled any further.

So, again, mind the rules... they're there for good reasons.
Title: Re: Great Rooms, Awesome People!
Post by: Tony on May 05, 2006, 01:59:23 PM
Not to come down on you, but...

Quote from: "ip136"Currently my posse and I are looking for a couple people to fill-up our room slots. We are looking for 2 people as far as I can confirm, but we might be looking for 3 or more. *nods*
With the above post in mind, I should warn you that for two rooms 8 is the limit...

Quote+ I am also planning on making breakfasts (like eggs or pancakes) as well as other general lunch/dinner foods. Taking orders for normal sandwhiches as well.
Cooking... how? I hope not inside the hotel; if the sprinklers going off doesn't bust you, room service will...



Actually, another note:

The hotel room is hotel property. The "Do Not Disturb" sign is essentially meaningless, because hotel staff can enter rooms essentially any time.
So, if you're thinking, "Hey, I'll just put up the DND sign all weekend, and they'll never know what happened until I'm already gone!" then:

1. They can check inside pretty much any time, and the hotel will find out.
2. Fanime staff (like the hotel liason who reads this thread) must report these kinds of things. So if they read it here or overhear it at the con, the hotel will find out.
3. The hotel can get back at you in a number of ways. Like sending you a bill, or banning you from the hotel.

Just so you know. I really don't want to find out a bunch of members missed out on the convention because they got kicked out of their hotel room or something. Please, heed the warnings...
Title: Re: Great Rooms, Awesome People!
Post by: ip136 on May 05, 2006, 04:26:42 PM
Fwou~ Thank you for the concern. ^_^ I understand the limit is 8 and such... we've got 5 confirmed and 1 still unsure *nods* As well as the whole dealio about the cooking and such. <3

OK everyone this might be your lucky day!  I have just recieved a very wonderfull email letting me know I have a room reserved for Friday, Saturday and Sunday!  Unfortunatly after carefully reviewing my funds I don't think I will be able to afford it on my own.  Or rather I could but I would have very little leftover for merch.
Soooooo... I am looking for a roommate, as soon as I can confirm a change in occupancy to two people.
Rules:
1. We will be splitting the room cost 50/50, $163 each for the entire weekend or $55 a night.
2.  You will have to supply your own air mattress or pay for a roll out bed (if they charge for them).
3. I will be drinking.  If you are under 21 you will not.  Sorry I don't want to be arrested for supplying alcohol to a minor.  If you are 21 I am more than happy to share, and if you bring some alcohol too I am even more willing to share!
4.  If you snore I will hit you with a pillow until you stop.  I am a light sleeper and I like my sleep.  You wake me you get hit by a pillow.  Dems da rules.
5.  If you stink I will ask you to take a shower and put on deoderant.  If you refuse you get kicked out.
6.  Also I'd like to at least see a picture of who I'm going to be rooming with.  Applications to be my roomy with a picture have preference over those that don't.  Fairs fair of course so here's a pic of me:
(https://forums.fanime.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmyspace-575.vo.llnwd.net%2F00660%2F57%2F53%2F660583575_l.jpg&hash=b51429c0bc135c78ba679d14bf804b68b035a379)

Oh yes I'm a 22/m if you couldn't tell from the picture.

~edit
Oh yes I forgot to mention it's a single king bedded in the Marriot.  PM me or email me: flyingducksclan at yahoo dot com

~Edit again, OK having someone pay for a night that they won't be there is unfair, so it'll be $55 a night (still 50/50).

Hello everyone,

   I've got a room reserved for May 25th through the 29th.  I had some friends agree to come but some have dropped and I fear others may do the same.  We will be splitting the cost evenly between all the people staying with me. I will need the money up front. please pm me or message me somehow as soon as possible. I'm a 20/m and the other two who might come are around the same age and also male.  Prefered no smoking and please include picture if possible

Hello everyone. Now I know that Fanime is almost upon us, and that most of you guys have already made arrangements for rooms. But, if anyone has any space available please e-mail me at: [email protected] or PM me. I will most likely only be staying one or two nights, those being Saturday and Sunday.

Hi all!

Looking for a place to crash the entire con.  Hopefully Fri-Mon, but am open to whatever nights you have available.  Money is not a prob, just would prefer not to pay $100+ a night myself.

email me with what you have.  A little about yourself and who else would be rooming and how much.

It would be me. one or two costumes and some regular clothes.

Thanks!

Well I had a room with my friends so I wasn't worried about it, but they're really flakey and it fell through. I already found someone who needs a roomate for Saturday night, I was just wondering if there was anyone left who had an opening on Sunday? And if there is anyone left they need to be sharing it with multiple people because since I had planned to share the room with a large group I didn't set aside alot of money for it.

I've worked it out, so nevermind.

If there's any girls that need a room to stay either for the whole weekend or just 1 night please let me know, you'll have to pay me cash though, probably up front. I'm a girl too (in case you couldn't tell) so no worries about anything freaky happening. I've never gotten a hotel room myself before so I don't know how many people are allowed or any of that other protocol.

Well just to answer your question on protocol it's usually a 4 person maximum in a room. And that's usually a double-double room (that is, 2 double beds) If you guys can fit usually 2 girls can fit on one double bed. However, often there are those who have to sleep on the floor. I would recommend requesting extra blankets and sheets early, and/or rollout beds if they're available.

Also, when you check in they do HOLD the money for the room all weekend until you check out, as well as (I think) 50 dollars/night for possible incidentals. So if you're staying for 3 nights plan on having the room total +150 being held from your account. One of my friends didn't realize that and if you don't have the money on your card to cover the incidental stuff, you don't check in...if you don't check in but you made reservations, they will charge you one night +tax anyways. (Although, if you don't have enough for three nights on your card you could probably end up staying 2 nights or something...)

So yeah, that's about standard stuff. 3 roomies in a double double to make a total of 4 people.

Don't listen to people who will try and convince you that cramming 8-12 people in a double double is cool. Yeah the price is ridiculously low, but it's both gross as well as incredible dangerous. When a hotel expects a certain maximum occupancy per floor in accordance to a fire escape drill and the actual number is 3X that, there are a lot of things that can go wrong and a lot of people could get hurt.

Besides that, you could get kicked out and fined heavily for doing that kind of thing. So stray from that as much as possible.

With 4 people in a double double you should expect to pay (for 3 nights: Friday, Saturday, Sunday) 400 with tax, so divide that by 4 and voila...100 per person or roughly 33 a night. Not bad eh?

So yeah, there's some info for ya. Hope it helps.

Hmm, when I stayed at the Hilton last year I had a room with 1 king sized bed and there was a chaise lounge (fainting couch type thing). How many people would they let stay in a room like that? Is it any cheaper? Thanks for the info!

They base the number of sleepers on the number of Beds I think. If it's like a couch, and that's it then they probably would say that it fits 2 people. But if it's like a sofabed type thing then they might allow one more person to stay.

I don't know for sure. I don't even know if they allow a 4 person max for King bed rooms. *shrug*

Ok, I am looking for a roommate. I'm a guy, and I love saving money so i'd like it to be a group of probably 4+ (can you even have more than 4?). I strongly prefer the Marriott. And while I want a good sized group i'm open to smaller groups. I'm mostly interested in Friday-Sunday nights. But i'm also starting to think about Thursday, and if it's a group then one more night won't kill my bank account.

I want to room with someone who has a room (or will get the room), I hate the pressure of getting the room myself and then finding roommates. Also last year I slept on the floor, but this year I would rather have a bed! XO I'm willing to pay a couple bucks more of the share if I can sleep in the bed.


...even though I only got like 2 hours each night, and...the floor was kind of soft.....but I just feel like a bed! XO

Hay guys

So, Fanime Con is coming up and stuff, and I'm trying to put together a room for myself and a couple friends. I always think the best part of cons are meeting new people, and sharing rooms and a junk is a great way to do that!

At the moment our goal is around $60 a person for the whole con! Sweet! Last year at Fanime Con it was only $50 and Anime Expo was $60, so it's not too much of a stretch! Of the people in the rooms at the moment everyone's pretty different... So there'll definitely be people you'll get along with!

You can get in touch with me through myspace (http://www.myspace.com/justkitteh/) or more reliably, through a site I just threw together (http://g-status.org/) where you can find more contact infos and where we are organizing the trip!

Anyone is welcome, male or female, groups, etc... get in touch!

I'm also planning for Sakura Con and Anime Expo if you're interested in those! :D

EDIT: For the lazy people out there, you can email me at [email protected] hit me on AIM or Yahoo at justkitteh, or justkitteh@hotmail on MSN, or call me, 510 229 9276

EDIT2: fixed my email address: [email protected]

The number they "allow" and the number that can be fit in a room differ wildly. We had at least 8 people in our room last year, maybe more? Hard to remember. Regardless, we'll want as many or more this year, so head to g-status.org and let's figure it out.

I would recommend not posting this stuff so blatantly.

With all due respect, it is exactly that kind of attitude and situation that gives the rest of the con-goers a bad name. It is extremely unsafe and unsanitary to have that many people in a room that was made for 4 people.

While it may be fun at first, it turns out to be a total drag later on.

And of course, there's the whole thing with if the Hotel Staff find out you can get kicked out of your room, all 8 of you or however many there are...and perhaps charged a fee for violating the fire safety codes.

I know you probably won't stop because of what I said, but please try not to make it a big deal or brag about it on the boards, as Craige and Tony frequent the boards and will most likely have to respond to that kind of blatant disregard for the rules.

You need to find friends who take showers and aren't fucking lame, sorry, lots of people in a room != messy or unsanitary, and most hotels don't care at all. Take AX for example, the Marriott let me check in at 6am or a little earlier (super early, i didn't have to pay for that night), she asked how many keys i needed, i asked how many can i have, and she gave me 8...

I agree that one shouldn't parade around that you're breaking the rules, but i also disagree with your perception of hotel stringency.
