For those of you who don't wish to do the browsing, hotel registration is up.
This is what many of you have been waiting for =).
Cheers
THANK YOU!!! My group was waiting to decide if we were even going to fanime this year depending on if we could get the hotel we wanted....YAY! To Fanime we go again! :)
Room to myself this year and... GO! :)
Booked already for 4 nights. Got my peeps. Ready! Set! GOOO!!!! X)
Got my room!! Woohoo!! Be there thursday this time around :D
Dang, the rooms are all already going like hotcakes! XD;; (I think I just grabbed the last four-night-in-a-row stay at the Crowne Plaza. >_>;; Us fans are speedy!)
I wish I could have chosen the Marriott, but they didn't have the 25th as an option. Oh well! I managed to get something good, so I'll just stick around and check for hotel updates. ;D
Whee, Fanime!! 8D *excited*
hmmm upon further review I *may* wait... that whole staff thing and all... :p
Yay! I booked mine immediately for the Hilton. ;D
I just booked my room at Hilton. :D
Joy! It is such a relief to be able to stay at the Hilton again this year.
Do you know if I will be charged anything on my credit card if I book the hotel online?
I mean eventually I'll have to pay the hotel fees when I check in, but will I have to pay anything for the reservation before Fanime hits?

You're just guaranteeing with the credit card. They won't charge that card unless you pull a no show without cancelling in time.
:3 Registered again with the Marriott.
See you all in a few months!~
I'm in the Marriott again! For the fourth year running now! (06 I was in Hilton)
I'm also at the Marriott this year.
I'm so excited I'm not procrastinating this year. I love staying in the Marriot. ^^
Booked at the Marriott :)
Booked at the hilton.
Two rooms.
Marriott is more expensive /cry
Also, Hilton's supposed to be getting renovated so...win.
I wanted to stay at the Hilton so bad this year, but Thursday doesn't seem to be available as a check in day. Did everyone grab it up already? I booked the Marriott so I could have a room connected, but I really had my heart set on the Hilton.

My sister and I are staying at the Hilton got Thursday check in taken care of. But we usually stay thru Monday and had to go onto the waiting list for Monday night. The guy on the phone seemed hopeful that we might get the rooms for that night, they'll let us know.

Seconding this question. If it's not going to be available, I can go to the Mariott, but it'd be nice to know soon...

I booked Thursday to Monday at the Hilton when they had its launch date. So I do believe it is already gone by then, but you can always email Fanime Housing about it.
got myself all set up at the Hilton Friday-Monday =D
now just to work on costumes and I'm good to go XD
I got myself booked up at the Hilton, from Thursday to Tuesday. I wanted to stay at the Marriott like I did last year, but Thursday doesn't seem to be available as a check-in day, nor does Tuesday seem to be available as a check-out day. What's the Hilton like?
It seems more dates were added, cause I was just able to reserve the Hilton for Thursday to Monday. Thanks, I'll be canceling my reservation for the Marriott now.

A bit spacious with a mini fridge and there's not a long wait for the elevator too. I've been staying at the Hilton since 2004 for Fanime.

second'd. I've stayed at the marriott twice and the hilton just this last year. The main flaw at the Hilton is that their TV's (as of last year) had no AV connections for gaming systems or hooking up laptops to the TV. However, it is rumored that the Hilton will be undergoing renovations and that new flat panel TV's are a part of the new rooms. If this is true, I would highly favor the Hilton.
Important question: Are the stairs at the Hilton fire escape only? The ones at the Crowne Plaza are fire escape only, and it was a real hassle since I'm not good with elevators. My first year at Fanime I stayed at the Marriott and took the stairs the whole time (all the way up to the 24th floor) cause I get so dizzy in the elevators.
mostly. you will end up on exit only doors for many of the floors.

I've used the stairs when I didn't want to wait for the elevator and my room was on the 4th floor so it was good. Plus, I've seen others used it too.
Hilton stairs are free to use to access the other floors, from my experience. I don't know about the marriott because I almost exclusively rode the elevator.
Reserved a room at the Marriot just in case I am able to make it!
Thats good about the stairs, I'd hate having to be stuck with the elevator all weekend.

I just booked at the Marriott and Thursday wasn't available on the website. However a quick email to housing and the adjusted my reservation to now include Thursday. So it definitely doesn't hurt to ask!!!
Aaaah, we wanted to try the Saint Claire but missed our dates :/
Next year I want to maybe try and go for the Hilton (I heard they were renovating this year so...not so sad I didn't get that). Would have been cool to try the Marriot too, but, not necessary this year.
Oh well. We tried Fairmonte last year, we'll try Crowne this year. Most of the complaints I heard from this place was thin walls and loud air/toilets. @.@ lets hope I sleep hard.

Our stairs are not fire escape only... guests can use the stairways as an option.

Sounds good. Nice upgrades.
I stayed at the hilton last year, it was alright. The elevators were definitely nicer...but I must say, upgrades to rooms would probably make me wanna stay there again haha.
