I was on at 11:55 and nabbed my Fairmont hotel room like a boss.
I figured there would be a slightly earlier release of the server.

This is my first time coming to Fanime.  Does hotel usually get reserved this fast for Fanime?  Most of it already booked only after 5 hours.  Wow!  The hotel which is still available is 3 miles away.  Does this mean I have to take taxi daily from the hotel to the convention?

I know that the Doubletree had a free shuttle daily between the hotel and the convention center, so if you wanted to stay there you wouldn't have to pay for a taxi. However, the shuttle wait times sometimes were long and inconvenient. Still, for a free service you can't really complain haha.

Whoever nabbed the $88/night room at the Marriott from Thur-Monday....I HATE YOU.

All kidding aside, I was wondering if there was a way to guarantee a room to stay reserved no matter when you check in by paying early. I got a room from Thur-Mon at the Marriott and can't seem to figure out an option for pre-paying.

Sorry if I'm not supposed to ask general questions within this thread.

Perhaps someone can assist me...

I have a room at the Fairmont and am on the waitlist for a suite. The Fanime reservation page lists it as a "Junior Suite" but I do not see that option listed on the Fairmont Suites description page. Am I correct in believing that the "Junior Suite" is an Executive suite, or is it something different?

There should have been an option for those booking multiple rooms. Not that I'm complaining it's just I was booking rooms for a larger group and we're trying to stay in one hotel and that hotel good booked up on the room price level I was booking midway through booking them, so I had to move all of them into another hotel so we could stay together etc.

I got it done and my college's Genshiken (yes that's our club's name) is booked to come, it was jus a slightly annoying experience going through the screen six times in a row.

Got a room at the Saint Claire! I was considering trying the Hilton or Marriott this year just for something new, but they were gone by the time I logged on, so it's the Saint Clare again this year ^^ I'm pretty happy about it though--I stayed there last year and they were amazing.
Love. Life. fANIME.

I normally hate locking threads, but it was just completely easier to manage a brand new thread for FAQ. If you have questions that weren't answered in this thread, I have PMed you. If I missed your question, please PM it to me (and I'm sorry for missing it).
