Staff & Volunteers / Staff Parking
May 05, 2007, 05:11:40 AM
Mariott also only has valet parking =/.  From what I remember from past years that makes it about the same cost as self-parking over at the Hilton.

I don't remember the cost of parking being horrible at Hilton, though.  Around $50ish for four nights?  Maybe a bit more, but not much.  Plus having free access to my car without having to bug hotel staff to get it for me was a major win.

Hotel and Facilities / Amenities at the Hilton?
February 10, 2007, 07:48:43 AM
Having stayed regularly at the Hilton for Fanime since 2004 I know a little bit about them... XD;...

Anywho microwave is not standard for any of the rooms I've stayed in, unfortunately.  But there are microwaves.  They're on a request, first come, first serve basis.  If you're arriving the day con starts you'll have a least likely chance of being able to request one ):.  But if you arrive the day before you shouldn't have a problem.  In fact this last year (2006) my group had been the first to request a microwave around mid-afternoon.  However if they're supposed to be standard for the King rooms I'd ask for that in writing.  That way you can show them you were promised one and they will, hopefully, be able to provide you with one if the room is sans one nuking tool :B.

Bathtub is... moderate size if memory serves.  It's not large by any means, but it's not small either.



The pool area closes... gwah... I think around 9pm?  I might be really off on that, though.  I only actually made use of them for the first time in 2006 because 2004 I didn't even know they existed and 2005 despite being right across from my hotel room they were being renovated and were constantly closed through the whole weekend.

The hot tub isn't that great.  To give you an idea the max people allowed in it was 2 or 3 at a time.  The pool had a max of 4 (or around there).  Marriot isn't much better unfortunately.  Spa is still relaxing, though.

Pool area and gym are on the third floor :3.  When you exit the elevators go through the door to the hallway on the right and turn right <3.  The door for the area will be on the left side of the hallway a little ways down.  Should see a sign.
