20+ minutes?

It's better for me to book a hotel. I like to roam around at like... random times of the day. And forbid I have to do 2+ daily clothes changes in the hallway. :D

Mapquest says I'm 255.27 miles away from the Convention Center.  That's a 4 hour and 15 minute drive.  Based on previous experience that's about right.

5 min. drive with no traffic, 10 minute drive with some traffic. It's a simple drive down 680/280 however, I still get a hotel room cause I am far too busy to commute back and forth.

30-ish mins from college, but driving over 17 twice a day for 4 days while sleep deprived is a death wish.
Hotels ftw.

Very very very tall. Well for me since its the tallest building around my neighborhood.
I pass by it everyday hen I get home from school.
A giant tall condo is being build across from Fanime at the moment and it might be taller than Hilton

Currently about 15 minutes or so from the con.  So far I've driven to the con each day but I've considered getting a room just so the nights I do stay really late I won't have to worry about having to get up and leaving by 9, 9:30 the next morning to make sure I find parking -_-.

I live up in the Santa Clara area, so downtown is only about 45 minutes away 8D Extremely convienent. Lasy summer I would go downtown once a week for a class at the MLK Library and one of the days we walked down to the convention center and I screamed, "BEST. PLACE. EVUR."
